Safety Precautions
ARC WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD
CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING.
BE SURE THAT ONLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS PERFORM ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION,
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES
For Engine Powered equipments
1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance
work requires it to be running.
1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.
1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running. Stop the
engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on
contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is
spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated.
1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair. Keep
hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts
when starting, operating or repairing equipment.
1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required
maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the
maintenance requiring their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when
working near moving parts.
1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler
by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running.
1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turning the engine or welding
generator during maintenance work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or
magnet wire as appropriate.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot.
