General Safety Warnings
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the welder.
These
carry important information. If unreadable or missing,
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 pro-cedures.
4.
Never leave the welder unattended while
energised.
Turn power off before leaving the welder unattended.
5. Do not touch live electrical parts.
Wear dry,
insulating gloves. Do not touch the electrode or the
conductor 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
insulating material if possible, or use dry rubber mats,
dry wood or plywood, or other dry insulating material
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 chemi-cals, 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.
