When  using  your  mig  welder,  basic  safety  precautions  should  always  be  followed  to 

reduce the risk of personal injury and / or damage to the mig welder.  

Read all of these instructions before operating the mig welder and save this user man-

ual for future reference. 

The mig welder should 

not

 be modified or used for any application other than that for 

which it was designed. 

This mig welder was designed to supply electric current for MIG welding. 

If you are unsure of its relative applications do not hesitate to contact us and we will 

be more than happy to advise you. 

Before  each  use  of  the  mig  welder  always  check  no  parts  are  broken  and  that  no 

parts are missing. 

Always operate the mig welder safely and correctly.  

 

KNOW YOUR MIG WELDER: 

Read and understand the owner's manual and labels af-

fixed to the mig welder. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the potential 

hazards specific to it. 

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT: 

Cluttered work benches and dark areas invite 

accidents. Floors must not be slippery due to oil, water or sawdust etc.

Do  not  use  the  mig 

welder  in  damp  or  wet  locations,  or  expose  it  to  rain.  Provide  adequate  space  sur-

rounding the work area. Do not use in environments with a potentially explosive atmos-

phere.
