SAFETY

§1 Safety
Welding and cutting equipment can be dangerous to both the operator and people in
or near the surrounding working area, if the equipment is not correctly operated.
Equipment must only be used under the strict and comprehensive observance of all
relevant safety regulations. Read and understand this instruction manual carefully
before the installation and operation of this equipment.
§1.1 Symbols Explanation
 The above symbols mean warning!
Notice! Running parts, getting an electric shock or making contacts with thermal
parts will cause damage to your body and others. The underline message is as
follows:
Welding is quite a safe operation after taking several necessary protection
measures!
§1.2 Machine Operating warnings!
 The following symbols and words explanations are for some damages to your body
or others, which could happen during the welding operation. While seeing these
symbols, please remind yourself and others to be careful.
 Only people who are trained professionally can install, debug, operate, maintain
and repair the welding equipment covered with this Operator’s Manual!
 During the welding operation, non-concerned people should NOT be around,
especially children!
 After shutting off the machine power, please maintain and examine the equipment
according to §7 because of the DC voltage existing in the electrolytic capacitors at
the output of the power supply!

SAFETY
-2-
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 internal machine circuits are also live when power is on. In Mig/Mag
welding, the wire, drive rollers, wire feed housing, and all metal parts touching the
welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded
equipment is dangerous.
 Never touch live electrical parts.
 Wear dry, hole-free gloves and clothes to insulate your body.
 Be sure to install the equipment correctly and ground the work or metal to be
welded to a good electrical (earth) ground according to the operation manual.
The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the
machine is ON. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing.
Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
 In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding
head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
 Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the
insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and
ground.
 Be Careful when using the equipment in small places, falling-off and wet
circumstance.
 Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal
being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being
welded.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in
good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged insulation.
 Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
 Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode holders connected
