STEALTH DIGI-MIG 200
1. SAFETY
1.1 Signal Explanation
• The above icons mean Warning! Notice! Running and thermal parts or receiving an
electric shock may harm you or others. The following precautions apply as a guide
to working safely.
1.2 Arc Welding Damage
• The following icons explanations are to prevent accidents to you or others during
the welding process.
• Only experienced personell can install, operate, maintain and repair the equipment.
• During the operation make sure those around you are properly protected.
• After turning off the machine power, please maintain and examine the equipment
according to
5 due to DC voltage existing in the electrolytic capacitors.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL
• Never touch live electrical parts.
• Wear dry, hole-free gloves and clothes to insulate yourself.
• Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the
insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and
ground.
• Take care when using the equipment in a confined space, on uneven surfaces and
in damp conditions.
• Shut down the incoming electrical supply prior to the equipment’s installation.
• Ensure the equipment is installed correctly and the work or metal is earthed
according to the operation manual.
• The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are ‘hot’ when the machine is on. Do not
touch these electrically ‘hot’ parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry,
hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
• In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding
head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically ‘hot’.
• Always ensure the work cable makes a good electrical connection and is as close as
possible to the metal being welded.
• Ensure the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine are
in good, safe operating condition. Replace any damaged insulation.
• Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
• Never simultaneously touch electrically ‘hot’ parts of electrode holders connected to
two machines as voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage
of both welders.
• When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall
should you receive an electric shock.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS
• Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases.

§1 SAFETY
§1.1 Signal Explanation
The above signals mean warning! Notice! Running parts and getting an electric shock or thermal parts
will take damage for your body or others. The corresponding notices are as follows. It is quite a safe
operation after taking several necessary protection measures.
§1.2 Arc Welding Damage
The following signals and word explanations are to some damages for your body or others happening
on the welding operation. While seeing these, please remind of yourself or others to be dangerous.
Only ones who are trained professionally can install, debug, operate, maintain and repair the
equipment.
During the operation, non-concerned people should be lift, especially for children.
After shut off the machine power, please maintain and examine the equipment according to §5
because of the DC voltage existing in the electrolytic capacitors.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
Never touch electrical parts.
Wear dry, hole-free gloves and clothes to insulate yourself.
Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make
certain
the insulation is large
enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground.
Take carefully when using the equipment in small place, falling-off and wet circumstance.
Never close the machine power before installation and adjustment.
Ensure to install the equipment correctly and ground the work or metal to be welded to a good
electrical (earth) ground according to the operation manual.
The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch
these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded. The
connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded.

FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.
When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or
coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and below Threshold
Limit Values using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some
circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional precautions are also required when
welding on galvanized steel.
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or
spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a
highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough
ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be
used, including the material safety data sheet and follow your employer’s safety practices.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN.
Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the
