UNE DÉCHARGE
ÉLECTRIQUE entraîner la
mort.
 Do not touch live electrical parts.
 Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body
protection.
 Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry
insulating mats or covers big enough to prevent
any physical contact with the work or ground.

Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement
is confined, or if there is a danger of falling.

Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding
process.
 If AC output is required, use remote output control
if present on unit.
 Additional safety precautions are required when
any of the following electrically hazardous
conditions are present: in damp locations or while
wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as
floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped
positions such as sitting, kneeling, or lying; or when
there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental
contact with the workpiece or ground. For these
conditions, use the following equipment in order
presented: 1) a semiautomatic DC constant voltage
(wire) welder, 2) a DC manual (stick) welder, or 3)
an AC welder with reduced open-circuit voltage. In
most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire
welder is recommended. And, do not work alone!
 Disconnect input power or stop engine before
installing
or servicing this equipment.
Lockout/tagout input power according to OSHA 29
CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).
 Properly install and ground this equipment
according to its Owner’s Manual and national, state,
and local codes.
 Always verify the supply ground − check and be
sure that input power cord ground wire is properly
connected to ground terminal in disconnect box or
that cord plug is connected to a properly grounded
receptacle outlet.
 When making input connections, attach proper
grounding
conductor first − double-check
connections.
 Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or
bare wiring − replace cord immediately if damaged
− bare wiring can kill.
 Turn off all equipment when not in use.
 Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly
spliced cables.
 Do not drape cables over your body.
 If earth grounding of the workpiece is required,
ground it directly with a separate cable.
 Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the
work, ground, or another electrode from a different
machine.
 Do not touch electrode holders connected to two
welding machines at the same time since double
