HOT METAL AND TOOLS WILL BURN!!
• Electric welding heats metal and tools to temperatures that will cause severe burns!
• Use protective, heat resistant gloves and clothing when using Eastwood or any other welding equipment. Never touch welded work
surface, MIG Gun tip or nozzle until they have completely cooled.
FLYING METAL CHIPS CAN CAUSE INJURY!
• Grinding and sanding will eject metal chips, dust, debris and sparks at high velocity. To prevent eye injury wear approved safety glasses.
• Wear an OSHA-approved respirator when grinding or sanding.
• Read all manuals included with specific grinders, sanders or other power tools used before and after the welding process.
Be aware of all power tool safety warnings.
FIRST AID
• If exposed to excessive fumes move to an area with fresh air. Follow safety information on wire manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet.
• For other injuries follow basic first aid techniques and call a physician or emergency medical personnel.
SAFETY INFORMATION
CONNECTING THE WELDER TO A POWER SOURCE
The Eastwood MIG 180 Welder requires a dedicated 240 VAC, minimum 30 Amp, circuit breaker protected outlet. The plug installed on the Welder is a NEMA 6-50P
and should be used with a NEMA 6-50R receptacle.
As an alternative, by using the included Adapter Cord, the MIG 180 can be used with a 120 VAC, 20 AMP, 60HZ grounded NEMA 5-15R outlet protected by a circuit
breaker.
If using an extension cord, we recommend using our Welder Extension Cords for optimal performance: Eastwood items #31739, #20029, and #20285.
