Operator’s Manual
WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate to the job. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves
and body protection.
Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as
earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or
uncomfortable loud noises.
Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of
the operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones while
operating machine.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible
and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn
eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld. ARC RAYS
can burn eyes and skin. Wear an approved welding helmet
fitted with a proper shade of filter lenses to protect your
face and eyes when welding or watching. Wear approved
safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from
flash, glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the
arc. Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-
resistant material and foot protection.
Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding cause
sparks and flying metal. As welds cool, they can throw off
slag. Wear approved safety glasses with side shields even
under your welding helmet.
INSPECT UNIT
Be sure all covers, guards and shields are tight and in
place.

hazard of electrical shock from crushing, cutting or heat
damage.
