SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
May 06, 2020 Page 6 User Manual No: OM-101A EN
ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn
skin
Arc rays from the welding process pro-
duce intense heat and strong ultraviolet
rays that can burn eyes and skin.
•
Wear approved safety glasses. Side shields
recommended.
• Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter (see ANSI
Z49.1 listed in Safety Standards) to protect your face and eyes when
welding or watching.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and
glare; warn others not to watch the arc.
• Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material
(wool and leather) and foot protection.
NOISE can damage hearing
Noise from some processes can damage
hearing.
• Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs for high
noise levels environments.
FLYING SPARKS can injure
Flying sparks and hot metal can cause in-
jury. Chipping and grinding cause flying
metal.
•
Wear proper body protection to protect skin.
• Wear approved face shield or safety goggles. Side shields are recom-
mended.
• Sparks can cause fire, remove all flammable materials within 35 ft (10.7
m) of the working zone.
EQUIPMENT OVERHEATING
Power Source casing, terminals, cables,
ground clamp, electrode stub or torch
parts can cause inquiry when overheated.
•
Allow cooling period before touching MIG
Torch.
•
Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle of MIG Torch.
• Reduce amperage and/or arc on time before starting to weld again.
•
Do not block or filter air vent to Power Source.
BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill
Shielding GAS used for wire welding can
cause asphyxiation or death in confined
places.
•
Shut off compressed shielding gas supply
when not in use.
• Always ventilate confined spaces or use approved air supplied respira-
tor.
FUMES and GASES can be hazardous
FUMES and GASES can be hazardous to
your health. Welding produces fumes and
gases. Breathing these fumes and gases
can be hazardous to your health.
• Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
• If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local exhaust at the arc to remove
welding fumes and gases.
• If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
• Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s
instruction for consumables, coatings, cleaners, consumables, cool-
ants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
• Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing
an air-supplied respirator. Always have an observer trained in rescue
and emergency procedures to monitor the person in a confined space.
Shielding gases used for welding can displace air causing injury or
death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
•
Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying opera-
tions. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly
toxic and irritating gases.
• Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium
plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area, the area
is well ventilated, and if necessary, while wearing an air supplied respi-
rator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give
off toxic fumes if welded.
MOVING PARTS can cause injury
Moving parts, such as fans, drive gears,
rotating wire spools, rotors, and belts can
cut fingers and hands and catch loose
clothing.
• Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards
closed and securely in place.
• Switch OFF Power Source before installing
or connecting it.
•
Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and tools
away from moving parts.
• Have only suitably Trained and Qualified Tradesperson remove guards
or covers for maintenance and troubleshooting as necessary.
• To prevent accidental starting during servicing, disconnect Power
Source from power receptacle or disconnect negative battery cable
from battery.
• Reinstall panels or guards and close doors when servicing is finished
and before starting engine.
ELECTRIC and MAGNETIC FIELDS (EMF)
can affect Implanted Medical Devices
Consult your doctor and the Implanted
Medical Device manufacturer before go-
ing near arc welding, spot welding, goug-
ing or plasma arc cutting.
• Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Medical Devices should
keep away.
SHIELDING GAS CYLINDERS can ex-
plode
Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under
high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can
explode. Since gas cylinders are normally
part of the welding process; be sure to
treat them carefully.
• Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical
shocks, and arcs.
• Install and secure cylinder(s) in an upright position by chaining cylin-
der(s) to a stationary support or equipment cylinder rack to prevent
falling or tipping.
• Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuits.
• Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder.
• Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and fittings
designed for the specific application; maintain them and associated
parts in good condition.
• Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve.
• Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is in use
or connected for use.
• Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated
equipment, and CGA publication P-1 listed in Safety Standards.
WELDING WIRE can cause injury
Welding wire can cause injuries to hands,
ears, eyes, etc.
•
Do not depress Torch Trigger or commence
welding process until it is safe to do so.
• Do not point the end of the MIG Torch near any part of your body, other
people, or any metal when threading the welding wire thru the MIG
Torch.
