POWER CORD
1. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever possible. Extension cords are not
recommended for use with this welding unit.
2. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed, damaged or poorly spliced, as an electric shock
may occur, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
a. Inspect the tool's power cord for cracks, fraying or other faults in the insulation or plug before
each use.
b. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm while operating the tool.
c. Have the power cord replaced by a qualified service technician.
3. Keep all connections dry and off the ground to reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not touch plug with
wet hands.
4. Prevent damage to the power cord by observing the following:
a. Never use the cord to carry the tool.
b. Do not pull on the cord to disconnect the plug from an outlet.
c. Keep the power cord clear of the tool and the tool's work path while in operation. The cord should
always stay behind the tool.
d. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
5. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over unprotected power cords.
a. Position power cords away from traffic areas.
b. Place cords in reinforced conduits.
c. Place planks on either side of the power cord to create a protective trench.
6. Do not wrap cord around tool as sharp edges may cut insulation or cause cracks if wound too
tight. Gently coil cord and either hang on a hook or fasten with a device to keep cord together
during storage.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) can interfere with electronic devices such as pacemakers. Anyone with a
pacemaker should consult with their doctor before working with or near an arc welding unit. The following
steps can minimize the effects of electromagnetic fields.
1. Twist or tape cables together and prevent coils.
2. Do not drape cables on your body.
3. Keep the welding power source and cables as far away from the user as practical. A minimum of 24 in.
is recommended.
4. Connect the workpiece clamp as close to the weld as possible.
5. Keep your head and body as far away from the equipment in the welding circuit as possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld while carrying the welding power source.
WARNING! 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.
UNPACKING
WARNING! Do not operate the tool if any part is missing. Replace the missing part before operating.
Failure to do so could result in a malfunction and personal injury.
