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.
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.)
EMF –ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE DANGEROUS
Electrical current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates and 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.
1) Route the cables close together. Secure by twisting, taping or using a cable cover to keep together.
2) Never coil, wrap or drape welding cables around your body.
3) Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange so that cables are on one side and away from the operator.
4) Connect the work clamp(ground) to the workpiece as close as possible to the area to be welded.
5) Do not sit, lean and stand next to the welding power source.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS
WARNING - WELDING AND CUTTING PRODUCE FUMES AND GASES THAT ARE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH
1) Do not breathe the fumes and gases as they can cause asphyxiation.
2) 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.
3) 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 should be checked initially and periodically thereafter to maintain
applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TVL limits.
4) In a poorly ventilated area, it is necessary to wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
5) Always read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners,
consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes and metals.
6) Always have a trained watch-person 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.
7) 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.
8) 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.

5
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL
WARNING - ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN KILL. DO NOT TOUCH LIVE ELECTRICAL PARTS AND/OR USE IN DAMP
LOCATIONS.
1) The electrode and work (ground) circuit is 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 a hazard.
2) Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the
work or ground.
3) 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 a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For these
conditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) a semi-automatic DC constant voltage, 2) a DC manual (stick) welder
or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit voltage. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welder is recommended
and do not work alone!
4) 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).
5) Properly install ground and operate this equipment according to its Owner’s Manual and national, state/provincial and local codes.
6) Always verify the supply 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 a properly grounded receptacle outlet.
7) Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease and protected from hot metal and sparks.
8) Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring. Replace cord immediately if damaged. Bare wiring can kill.
9) Turn off all equipment when not in use.
10) 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.
11) Do not drape cables over your body.
12) Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground or another electrode from a different machine.
13) Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding machines at the same time since double open circuit voltage will be
present.
14) Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.
15) Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.
16) Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
17) Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece or worktable as near the weld as practical.
18) 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 –A WELDING ARC EMITS ULTRAVIOLET (UV) AND OTHER RADIATION AND CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY TO UNPROTECTED SKIN AND EYES.
1) Use a shield 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.
2) Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that
of your helpers from the arc rays.
3) 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.

6
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.
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Do not weld or cut where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
4) 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 a fire.
5) When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause
overheating and create a fire hazard.
6) Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding and cutting can easily go through small cracks and openings and cause
a fire in the adjacent areas.
7) Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.
8) 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.
9) Do not weld or cut where the atmosphere may contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).
10) 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 a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear
safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
11) 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.
12) Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
13) Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches, from your person before doing any welding or cutting.
14) 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.
1) 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.
2) Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
3) Cylinders should be located away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage and a safe distance from
arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
4) Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
5) Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
6) Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
7) Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, “Precautions for Safe
Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association, 14501 George Carter Way Chantilly,
VA 20151.
