SAFETY PRECAUTIONS –READ BEFORE USING
Before installing, operating, or performing maintenance please read the safety
precautions below. Failure to observe safety precautions can result in injury or death.
Read and follow the Owner’sManual carefully before installing, operating, or servicing
equipment. Read and understand all safety information.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS
This product, when used for welding and cutting, can produce fumes or gases which
contain chemicals known to cause birth defects and cancer. (California Health &Safety Code
Section 25249.5 et seq.) WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING
EMF –ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE DANGEROUS
Electrical current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and
Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates an EMF field around welding cables and
welding machines.
WARNING ‐EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers and other medical
implants. Implanted medical device wearers should consult their doctor before
operating or going near any arc welding applications. In addition, exposure to EMF
fields in welding may have other unknown health effects.
 Welders should use the below procedures to minimize the exposure to EMF fields from
the welding circuit.
 Route the cables close together. Secure by twisting, taping, or using acable cover to keep
together.
 Never coil, wrap, or drape welding cables around your body.
 Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange so that cables are on one side
and away from the operator.
 Connect the work clamp (ground) to the workpiece as close as possible to the area to be
welded.
 Do not sit, lean, and stand next to the welding power source.
 Do not breathe the fumes and gases as they can cause asphyxiation.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS
WARNING ‐WELDING AND CUTTING PRODUCE FUMES AND GASES THAT
ARE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH
Fumes and gases generated from welding can cause severe injury to respiratory system and
even death. In poorly vented areas it is required to properly ventilate the area and/or use
local forced ventilation or other fume control equipment at the arc to remove welding and
cutting fumes and gases.
The recommended way to determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the composition
and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed. The worker exposer level

5
should be checked initially and periodically thereafter to maintain applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TVL limits.
 In apoorly ventilated area, it is necessary to wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
 Always read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the manufacturer’s
instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and
metals.
 Always have atrained watchperson nearby. Welding and cutting fumes and gases can
displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is
safe.
 Do not weld or cut 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.
 Do not weld or cut 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 while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements
can give off toxic fumes if welded.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL
WARNING ‐ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN KILL. DO NOT TOUCH LIVE
ELECTRICAL PARTS AND/OR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
The electrode and work (ground) circuit are electrically “HOT”whenever the
welding equipment is on. Do not touch these electrically live parts with your
bare skin or wet/damp clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves. Incorrectly
installed or improperly grounded equipment is ahazard.
Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats or covers big enough to
prevent any physical contact with the work or ground.
Additional safety precautions are required when any of the following electrically hazardous
conditions are present: in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures
such as floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling, or
lying; or when there is ahigh risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or
ground. For these conditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) asemi-
automatic DC constant voltage, 2) aDC manual (stick) welder or 3) an AC welder with
reduced open-circuit voltage. In most situations, use of aDC constant voltage wire welder is
recommended and do not work alone!
 Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or servicing this equipment.
Lockout/tag out input power according to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).
 Properly install ground and operate this equipment according to its Owner’sManual and
national, state/provincial, and local codes.
 Always verify the suppl ground. Make sure that input power cord ground wire is properly
connected to ground terminal in disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to aproperly
grounded receptacle outlet.
 Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease and protected from hot metal and sparks.
 Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring. Replace cord immediately
if damaged. Bare wiring can kill.
 Turn off all equipment when not in use.

6
 Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables. It is illegal to use electrical
tape to repair torch power cable or ground cable that has damaged outer insulation. The
cable must be replaced.
 Do not drape cables over your body.
 Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground, or another electrode
from adifferent machine.
 Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding machines at the same time since
double open circuit voltage will be present.
 Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged parts at once. Maintain
unit according to manual.
 Wear asafety harness if working above floor level.
 Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
 Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece or worktable as near the
weld as practical.
 Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any single weld output terminal.
Disconnect cable for process when not in use.
ARC RAYS HAZARDS
WARNING –AWELDING ARC EMITS ULTRAVIOLET (UV) AND OTHER
RADIATION AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO UNPROTECTED SKIN
AND EYES.
Use ashield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes
from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc
welding. Headshield and filter lens should conform to ANSI Z87. I
standards.
Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and
that of your helpers from the arc rays.
Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or warn them
not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
WELDING AND CUTTING CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION
WARNING –Welding and cutting produces sparks that fly off from
the arc and can cause fires and/or explosions.
 Welding or cutting on closed containers, such as tanks, drums or pipes can cause them to
blow up. Sparks can fly off from the welding or cutting arc. The flying sparks, hot work
piece and hot equipment can cause fires and burns.
 Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating or
fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding or cutting.
 Do not weld or cut where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
 Remove all flammables and fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, tightly
cover them with approved covers to prevent the welding sparks from starting afire.
 When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or
ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create afire hazard.

7
 Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding and cutting can easily go
through small cracks and openings and cause afire in the adjacent areas.
Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B for hot work and
have afire watcher and extinguisher nearby.
 Do not heat, cut, or weld tanks, drums or containers that have held combustibles until the
proper steps have been taken to ensure that such procedures will not cause flammable or
toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have
been “cleaned”.For information, purchase “Recommended Safe Practices for the
Preparation for Welding and Cutting of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous
Substances”,AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society.
 Do not weld or cut where the atmosphere may contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapors
(such as gasoline).
 Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such
as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuff-less trousers, high shoes, and acap over your hair. Wear
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses
with side shields when in awelding area.
 Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding or cutting area as practical to
prevent welding or cutting current from traveling long, possibly unknown paths and causing
electric shock, sparks, and fire hazards.
 Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
 Remove any combustibles, such as abutane lighter or matches, from your person before
doing any welding or cutting.
 Inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks, glowing embers, and flames after work is
complete.
CYLINDERS CAN EXPLODE IF DAMAGED
WARNING –Compressed gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure
and/or flammable gas. If damaged, the cylinder can explode.
 Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used
and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings,
etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition.
 Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed
support.
 Cylinders should be located away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage and asafe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other
source of heat, sparks, or flame.
 Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot”parts to touch a
cylinder.
 Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder
valve.
 Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is
in use or connected for use.

DAILY MAINTENANCE
Afew minutes per day performing aquick check of your MIG torch will help to
decrease weld problems, minimize downtime, and help increase consumable life.
 At Beginning of Shift
o Inspect the cable for cuts, nicks, or tears. If you can see bare copper, return for
maintenance.
o Inspect the front-end consumables. Clean weld spatter and inspect the nozzle
insulator. If nozzle insulation is damaged it should be replaced.
o Check that the gas diffuser is tight, and the insulating washer is on the
gooseneck.
 The insulating washer is pertinent to have in place as this helps prevent
the gooseneck from getting electrically charged.
o Check the gas holes on the diffuser and clean if necessary.
o Check and tighten the contact tip.
o Check all electrical connections including the power cable from the power
supply, torch/feeder connections, and control cables for loose connections.

NOZZLE/TIP RELATIONSHIPS
Shown below are typical relationship between the contact tip and nozzle in GMAW
Semi-Automatic applications. Nozzles to tip relationships are usually dictated by the process
and application but not necessarily the standard. Keep in mind that decreased tip life,
increased spatter cleaning cycles may be required if the tip relationship is changed to achieve
other objectives.
Extended Tip –Short Circuit (Short Arc, Dip
Transfer) Welding Applications
The tip stick out is usually 1/8”or 1/4”
from the nozzle. Keep in mind that the further the
stick out the more susceptible to gas porosity issues. Typically, is used in short circuit, lower
amperage applications, and/or where you may need to reach into acorner.
Flush Tip –Higher current Short Circuit (Short
Arc, Dip Transfer) Welding Applications
The tip is flush with the end of the nozzle.
Typically used in higher current and voltage short
circuit applications.
Recessed Tip –Spray Arc, Pulsed, Flux Core
Welding Applications
The tip is usually recessed in the nozzle 1/8”
or 1/4”.Usually, the higher the heat and/or current
the further the recess. However, this is also dependent on the wire used and the arc length
requirement.
