1．Safety Instruction
Please read the manual before operation, failure to comply
with the manual could lead to danger of operator, others and
the machine.
1.1.Protect yourself and others. Welding can make you and
others in danger of many risk factors: Make sure to never weld
without a welding mask. This goes for not only the operator, but
all other bystanders as well. The damages to eyes include:
electric arc, dazzle reflections, dazzle flicker, sparking molten,
metal splashing. Looking at welding arc without eye protection
can inflict great pain and even temporary blindness. Therefore,
this products
owner/operator should ensure the welding machine
operated by a user with prior welding knowledge. Use these
professional protective equipment when operating.

operator and all other by standards. Please keep your head
away from a place you could possibly breathe in fumes and
make sure to use the machine in a well ventilated area.
1.5 To prevent any fire hazards do not have any residue of
gasoline or kerosene on your person, cylinder or piping you
may be welding.
1.6 Do not operate machinery if you have a pacemaker. This
includes being anywhere near the machine even if someone
else is operating. The magnetic field produced by the
welding machine could have adverse effects on a
pacemaker.
1.7 Welding splatter can cause fire and explosions. Do not
weld in dangerous situations such as around flammables,
explosives, a closed barrel or pipe.
1.8 There is extreme heat produced by the exhaust pipe,
engine, air compressor and muffler. Please do not touch
these parts or have flammables anywhere near the unit. The
high temperature produced by the exhaust is capable of
igniting any flammables or explosives.
1.9. It is important that this unit is installed, used and
maintained by professionals. Do not tamper or remove any
safety or warning signs located on the unit.

1.10. The engine operates on gasoline. It is important to
keep in mind this unit cannot be run indoors. Carbon
Monoxide has no odor and can be fatal in a short period of
time.
1.11. Gasoline is highly flammable and is capable of causing
a large explosion. Please shut down the machine before
ever adding fuel or oil. When adding fuel or oil make sure it
is done in a well ventilated area. When filling the fuel tank be
sure you always leave enough space for natural fuel
inflation. Make sure to not smoke near fuel supply. Keep
away from all other flames, sparks, etc. Make sure to wipe
all leaked fuel on the unit before starting.
1.12 Take care when attaching your welding leads. Ensure
a solid connection at the lead terminals at all times. Inspect
your welding leads for damage before each use and never
allow them to sit in a damp environment. Avoid dragging
your welding leads, as this may cause the insulation to
become damaged.
