IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal
shocks or severe burns. The electrode and
work circuit is electrically live whenever the
output is on. The input power circuit and
machine internal circuits are also live when
power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic
wire welding, the wire, wire reel, drive roll
housing, and all metal parts touching the
welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly
installed or improperly grounded equipment is
a hazard.
1. Do not touch live electrical parts.
2. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body
protection.
3. Insulate yourself from work and ground using
dry insulating mats or covers.
4. Disconnect input power or stop engine before
installing or servicing this equipment. Lock input
power disconnect switch open, or remove line
fuses so power cannot be turned on
accidentally.
5. Properly install and ground this equipment
according to its Owner’s Manual and national,
state, and local codes.
6. Turn off all equipment when not in use.
Disconnect power to equipment if it will be left
unattended or out of service.
7. Use fully insulated electrode holders. Never dip
holder in water to cool it or lay it down on the
ground or the work surface. Do not touch
holders connected to two welding machines at
the same time or touch other people with the
holder or electrode.
8. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or
poorly spliced cables.
9. Do not wrap cables around your body.
10. Ground the workpiece to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
11. Do not touch electrode while in contact with
the work (ground) circuit.
12.Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair
or replace damaged parts at once.
13. In confined spaces or damp locations, do not
use a welder with AC output unless it is
equipped with a voltage reducer. Use
equipment with DC output.
14.Wear a safety harness to prevent falling if
working above floor level.
15. Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous to your
health. Welding produces fumes and gases.
Breathing these fumes and gases can be haz-
ardous to your health.
1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not
breath the fumes.
2. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use
exhaust at the arc to remove welding fumes
and gases.
3. If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-
supplied respirator.
4. Read the Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s instruction
for metals, consumables, coatings, and
cleaners.
5. Work in a confined space only if it is well
ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied
respirator.
Shielding gases used for welding can displace
air causing injury or death. Be sure the
breathing air is safe.
6. Do not weld in locations near degreasing,
cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat
and rays of the arc can react with vapors to
form highly toxic and irritating gases.
7. 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 airsupplied
respirator. The coatings and any metals
containing these elements can give off toxic
fumes if welded.
