FALLING UNIT can cause injury.
Use lifting eye to lift unit only, NOT
running gear, gas cylinders, or any
other accessories.
Use equipment of adequate
capacity to lift and support unit.
If using lift forks to move unit, be sure forks are long
enough to extend beyond opposite side of unit
MOVING PARTS can cause
injury.
Keep away from moving parts such
as fans.
Keep all doors, panels, covers, and
guards closed and securely in place.
MOVING PARTS can cause
injury.
Keep away from moving parts
Keep away from pinch points such
as drive rolls
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.
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.
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
▪
Consult the Owner’s Manual for
welding safety precautions.
▪
Use only genuine replacement parts

Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low
Frequency Electric And Magnetic Fields
Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will
cause electro- magnetic 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.
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 work piece as close to the weld as
possible.
About Pacemakers:
Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor first. If cleared by
your doctor, then following the above procedures is
recommended
