SAFETY INFORMATION
FLAMMABILITY HAzARD
• Before beginning, make sure the work surface is cleaned of any oils, coatings or other materials which can ignite and or emit
dangerous fumes or vapors.
• Molten metal can be ejected away from the welding area with significant force and speed. Make sure the entire work area is clear
from flammable or easily damaged materials or objects.
HIGH VOLTAGE DANGER
The unit contains no user serviceable parts! Contact with the torch when the button is depressed will result in a serious shock and
severe burns! This device also produces High-Frequency, Radio-Frequency Emissions which can damage sensitive electronic equipment
in the area. Keep all cell-phones, cameras, watches and other electronic equipment at least 6’ away from the Power Unit and Torch.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you have a medical condition or pacemaker check with your doctor before using as the RF emissions may
cause interference.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY DO’S
• Make sure you, your work area, and your equipment are dry. Avoid welding in high humidity and with excessive perspiration.
• If you are using an extension cord (not recommended due to excessive Voltage drop), make sure it is a grounded cord in sound
condition with no damage or frays, and of the correct wire gauge. (220 Volt @ 10 gauge minimum / 110 Volts @ 12 gauge minimum).
• Keep all cords as far away from the welder unit as possible to avoid any possibility of arcing to the internal transformer.
This includes the power cord, torch feed cord and ground clamp cord.
• Remove change, watches or other metallic objects from your clothing.
• Sweep up all metal grinding particles and dirt from the floor before beginning welding.
• Use a non-metallic chair.
• To further isolate yourself from ground, position yourself over a rubber mat while welding.
• Ensure that proper sized circuit breakers and wiring are in place prior to use: 20 Amp for 110 Volt operation and
30 Amp for 240 Volt operation. Single Phase Only.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY DON’TS
• Never bypass the ground plug. Grounding is necessary for proper operation of the unit and reduces shock hazard.
• Do not touch the torch tip until after the activation switch is off and the unit is UNPLUGGED.
• Do not use the unit if any component should become damaged or show signs of excessive wear.
• Never handle the torch and the feed cable, power cord or welder cabinet at the same time. Fatal shock can occur.
• Avoid welding in extreme humidity or while heavily perspired.
