ELECTRICAL AND PERSONAL SAFETY
Our first concern at Gripnail is the safety of the operators using our equipment. As with most
types of welding equipment, there is always a potential for serious injury if the equipment is mis-
used. Please familiarize yourself with the equipment before operating. Below is a list of a few
safety precautions that should be obser ed.
1. READ this manual before you begin using the equipment.
2. DO NOT OPERATE this welder in or near water or damp areas.
3. DO NOT LOOK directly at the weld pin while welding. Arcing produced by the
welding process could cause flash burns to your eyes and could cause blindness.
4. WEAR protecti e clothing to pre ent skin burns from weld slag.
5. DO NOT TOUCH the weld pin or adjacent area after welding until sufficient time is al-
lowed for cooling. Otherwise, serious burns may result.
6. DO NOT OPERATE the welder unless all co ers are in place.
7. DO NOT PULL or mo e the welder by the attached cables or damage to the cables will
result.
8. CONTACT the Gripnail Ser ice Department for assistance with replacement parts,
repairs, questions or diagnosing a problem with the welder.
9. THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS a transformer power supply system, which energized by
AC current and transforms the AC to DC current. Due to potential dangerous electrical input
and output, the equipment must be disconnected from all incoming power when ser icing.
10. CAPACITORS STORE ELECTRICAL ENERGY. Check for residual charge before per-
forming any maintenance.
11. DO NOT USE LUIDS to clean electrical components as these may penetrate the electrical
system and cause shorts.
12. LOUD NOISES from welding can damage hearing. Wear earplugs or other protecti e gear,
if applicable.
13. UMES AND GASES expelled during welding can be hazardous to your health. Make sure
welding is done in a well- entilated area.
Connection of the unit into ser ice must be in accordance with the setup procedures as detailed
in this manual. Operation of this equipment must be in accordance with all local, regional, and
national safety codes.
