sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating welding equip-
ment.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area
from arc rays, sparks, and slag. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4.
Grounded welding equipment must be plugged into an outlet properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove
the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded.
If the welding equipment should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
Do not expose welding equipment to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering
welding equipment will increase the risk of electric shock.
8.
Do not abuse the Power Cord.
Never use the Power Cord to carry welding
equipment or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords
immediately.
Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9.
When operating welding equipment outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”.
These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
10.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating welding equipment. Do not use welding equipment while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention
while operating welding equipment may result in serious personal injury.
