SAFETY RULES FOR WELDERS (CONTINUED)

HOT PARTS can cause severe burns!

• Never touch hot parts bare handed.

• Allow adequate cooling period before touching work piece.

MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect pacemakers!

Electromagnetic fi elds (EMF) are generated around electric welding cables and welding 

machines. These EMF’s can interfere with some pacemakers. Pacemaker wearers should 

consult their doctor before going near arc welding, gouging, or spot welding operations. To 

reduce magnetic fi elds in the workplace, use the following procedures:

• Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.

• Arrange electrode and work piece cables to one side and away from the operator.

• Do not coil or drape cables around your body.

• Keep welding power source and cables as far away from operator as practical.

• Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible.

NOISE can damage hearing!

Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.

• Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION hazard.

• Do not install or place unit on, over, or near combustible surfaces.

• Do not install unit near fl ammables.

• Do not overload building wiring - be sure power supply system is properly sized, rated, and 

protected to handle this unit.

OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING

• Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.

• Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before starting to weld again.

• Do not block or filter airflow to unit.

MOVING PARTS can cause injury.

• Keep away from moving parts.

• Keep away from wire feed drive rollers.

• Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and secured in place.

WELDING WIRE can cause injury.

• Do not point gun toward any part of the body, other people, or any metal when

threading welding wire.

• Do not press gun trigger unnecessarily. When feeding welding wire through the gun,

the gun is electrically “live” and can cause electric shock.

California Proposition 65 Warnings

• Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to

the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health

& Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)

• Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds,

chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other 

reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

• This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause 

cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
