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 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.
In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode
reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also
electrically “hot”.
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.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding
machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged
insulation.
Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode holders
connected to two welders because voltage between the two can be the
total of the open circuit voltage of both welders.
When working above the floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself
from a fall should you get a shock.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible,
cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire.
Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid
welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
