AWELD160 ARC Welder Assembly & Operating Instructions
4
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way.
Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators
. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately
. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating the tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “WA” or “W.”
These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Make sure the extension cord being used is in good
condition. If there are any cuts or nicks (no matter how deep) in the insulation, DO NOT use that cord. Also,
make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the current needed. DO NOT use small "around-the-
house” lamp extension cords. These cords can easily overheat and/or catch fire when used with power tools.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”.
Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
People with pacemakers or other electronic devices should consult with a physician before operating
this product.
Interruption or failure of the pacemaker could occur when electrical equipment is operated within
close proximity of electrical devices.
All work areas should be clean and well lit.
Accidents are more likely to occur in poorly lit and cluttered
areas.
Keep the power cord in good condition, and replace damaged cords immediately.
Do not use the cord to
pull the plug from the outlet. Keep the cord away from materials and surfaces that could damage cords. The
risk of electric shock increases when the power cord is damaged.
Always use the appropriate extension cord, making sure it is rated for use with power tools.
Always be
sure the extension cords are in good condition, free of cuts or nicks in the insulation. If using the power tool in
an outside area with an extension cord, make sure the cord is rated for outdoor use.
