Manual 0-5345 1-1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
1.01 Arc Welding Hazards
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
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 semi-automatic 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.
SECTION 1:
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
!
WARNING
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
PACEMAKER WEARERS KEEP AWAY UNTIL CONSULTING YOUR DOCTOR. DO NOT LOSE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
READ OPERATING/INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING, OPERATING OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT.
Welding products and welding processes can cause serious injury or death, or damage to other equipment or
property, if the operator does not strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions.
Safe practices have developed from past experience in the use of welding and cutting. These practices must be
learned through study and training before using this equipment. Some of these practices apply to equipment
connected to power lines; other practices apply to engine driven equipment. Anyone not having extensive training
in welding and cutting practices should not attempt to weld.
Safe practices are outlined in the European Standard EN60974-1 entitled: Safety in welding and allied processes
Part 2: Electrical. This publication and other guides to what you should learn before operating this equipment
are listed at the end of these safety precautions.
HAVE ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND
REPAIR WORK PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED PEOPLE.
