FIREPOWER 160 S SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
Safety Instructions and Warnings 1-8 Manual 0-5371
• Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and tools away from moving
parts.
• Reinstall doors, panels, covers, or guards when maintenance
is finished and before reconnecting input power.
WARNING
MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect Implanted Medical
Devices.
• Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Medical Devices
should keep away from servicing areas until consulting their
doctor and the device manufacturer.
WARNING
OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING.
• Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.
• Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before starting to weld
again.
• Do not block or filter airflow to unit.
WARNING
H.F. RADIATION can cause interference.
• High-frequency (H.F.) can interfere with radio navigation,
safety services, computers, and communications equipment.
• Have only qualified persons familiar with electronic equipment
install, test, and service H.F. producing units.
• The user is responsible for having a qualified electrician
promptly correct any interference problem resulting from
the installation.
• If notified by the FCC about interference, stop using the
equipment at once.
• Have the installation regularly checked and maintained.
• Keep high-frequency source doors and panels tightly shut,
keep spark gaps at correct setting, and use grounding and
shielding to minimize the possibility of interference.
!
WARNING
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
• Use Testing Booklet (Part No. 150 853) when servicing this
unit.
• Consult the Owner’s Manual for welding safety precautions.
• Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.
1.06 EMF Information
Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency
Electric And Magnetic Fields
Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause
electromagnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern
about such fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies
spanning 17 years of research, a special blue ribbon committee
of the National Research Council concluded that: “The body of
evidence, in the committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated
that exposure to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields is
a human-health hazard.” However, studies are still going forth and
evidence continues to be examined. Until the final conclusions of
the research are reached, you may wish to minimize your exposure
to electromagnetic fields when welding or cutting.
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following
procedures:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using
a cable cover.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from operator
as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as pos-
sible.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor
and the device manufacturer before performing or going near arc
welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction
heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the
above procedures is recommended.
