General Safety Warnings

1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the welder.  

These 

carry  important  information.  If  unreadable  or  miss-

ing, contact Euroquip for a replacement.

2. Avoid unintentional starting. 

Make sure the welder 

is setup correctly and you are prepared to begin work 

before turning on the welder.

3. Unplug before performing maintenance.  

Always unplug the welder from its electrical outlet 

before performing any inspection, maintenance, or 

cleaning procedures.

4. Never leave the welder unattended while ener-
gised.

 Turn power off before leaving the welder unat-

tended.

5. Do not touch live electrical parts. 

Wear dry, insulat-

ing gloves. Do not touch the electrode or the conduc-

tor tong with bare hands. Do not wear wet or

damaged gloves.

6. Protect yourself from electric shock. 

Do not use

the welder outdoors. Insulate yourself from the work 

piece and the ground. Use non-flammable, dry insu-

lating material if possible, or use dry rubber mats, 

dry wood or plywood, or other dry insulating mate-

rial large enough to cover the area of contact with the 

work or the ground.

7. Avoid inhaling dust. 

Some dust created by power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, cutting, welding 

and other construction activities, contain chemicals 

known to cause cancer, birth defects or other harm. 

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on 

how often you do this type of work. To reduce your 

exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated 

area, and work with approved safety equipment, such 

as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out 

microscopic particles.

8. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before using this machine.

WARNING!

Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a 

heart pacemaker could cause interference, or 

failure of the pacemaker. The use of a Welder is 

NOT RECOMMENDED for pacemaker wearers. 

Consult your doctor.

9. Ensure that the unit is placed on a stable location 
before use.
