Welding Safety Instructions & Warnings
WARNING!
Protect yourself and others from possible serious injury or death.
Keep children away. Read the operating/Instruction manual before installing,
operating or servicing this equipment. Have all installation, operation, maintenance,
and repair work performed by qualified people.
If an operator does not strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions, welding products
and welding processes can cause serious injury or death, or damage to other equipment or property.
Safe practices have developed from past experience in the use of welding and cutting. These practices must
be learned through study and training before using this equipment. Some of these practices apply to
equipment connected to power lines; other practices apply to engine driven equipment. Anyone not having
extensive training in welding and cutting practices should not attempt to weld.
Safe practices are outlined in the Australian Standard AS 1674.2 entitled: Safety in Welding and European
Standard EN60974-1 entitled: Safety in welding and allied processes.
WARNING!
Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an
appropriate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye and breathing protection must be AS/NZS compliant for the
specific hazards in the work area.
DANGER!
Always wear AS/NZS compliant safety glasses and full face shield
fitted with appropriate filter shade number. (Refer Filter Table on page 17.)
CAUTION!
Heavy-duty work gloves, non-skid safety shoes and hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
CAUTION!
Have the equipment serviced by a qualified repair person using
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
