EVEN IF doors and windows are open.
1.l. Only use OUTSIDE and far away from
windows, doors and vents.
1.m. Avoid other generator hazards. READ
MANUAL BEFORE USE.

ELECTRIC SHOCK
CAN KILL.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are
electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do
not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing.
Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
3.b. 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.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if
welding must be performed under electrically
hazardous conditions (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, if there
is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact
with the workpiece or ground) use the following
equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding
gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. 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.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth)
ground.
3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode
holders connected to two welders because voltage
between the
two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both
welders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN.
4.a. 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.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material
to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
4.c. 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.
FUMES AND GASES
CAN BE DANGEROUS.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume.
Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes
and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding
hardfacing (see instructions on container or SDS)
or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other
metals or coatings which produce highly toxic
fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and
within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits
using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation
unless exposure assessments indicate otherwise.
In confined spaces or in some circumstances,
outdoors, a respirator may also be required.
Additional precautions are also required when
welding
on galvanized steel.
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by
various factors including proper use and positioning of the
equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific
welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure
level should be checked upon installation and periodically
thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits.
5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The
heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form
phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
cause
injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in
confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow your employer’s safety
practices. SDS forms are available from your welding
distributor or from the manufacturer.

WELDING AND CUTTING
SPARKS CAN CAUSE
FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If
this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks
from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot
materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and
openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines.
Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special
precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations.
Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1)
and the operating information for the equipment being used.
6.c. 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.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure 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
(see address above).
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or
welding. They may explode.
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free
protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless
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.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area
as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or
other locations away from the welding area increase the
possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains,
crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire
hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
6.h. Also see item 1.c.
6.I. Read and follow NFPA 51B “Standard for Fire Prevention During
Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from NFPA, 1
Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, MA 022690-9101.
6.j. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF
DAMAGED.
7.a. 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.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to
an undercarriage or fixed support.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected
to physical damage.
• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations
and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet
when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight
except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
7.g. 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.

(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5 et seq.)
WARNING
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel
to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or
away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating
wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which
in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the
binding.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
•Accessory may kickback over your hand.
3. Do not position your body in the area where power tool will
move if kickback occurs.
•Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite
to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
1. Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and position your
body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum
control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
•The operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
4. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
•Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control
or kickback.
5. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed
saw blade.
•Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.

positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
•The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
3. Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For example, do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
•Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
1. Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power
tool and the specic guard designed for the selected wheel.
•Wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
5. Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
•Wheels intended for larger power tools are not suitable
for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
6. Dress appropriately.
•Wear leather leggings and re resistant footwear
during use. Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with
open pockets, or any clothing that can catch and hold
molten metal or sparks.
4. Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of correct
size and shape for your selected wheel.
•Proper wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel anges.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR ABRASIVE
CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
1. Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure.
Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
•Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
3. When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut
while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur.
•Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
4. Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let
the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut.
•The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
2. Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel.
•When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving
away from your body, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly
at you.
5. Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the
risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
•Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR SANDING
OPERATIONS
1. Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturer’s recommendations when selecting sanding
paper.
•Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE BRUSHING
OPERATIONS
1. Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even
during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by
applying excessive load to the brush.
•The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing
and/or skin.
2. If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do
not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with
the guard.
•Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to
work load and centrifugal forces.
6. Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing
walls or other blind areas.
•The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure
to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk
of vibration-related injury:
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood
supply to the hands and ngers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the
user.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended
period should rst be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand,
past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Reynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any
medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue ngers), seek
medical advice as soon as possible.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice
between different processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe
control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this
manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.

GROUNDING
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH
FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING:
Check with a qualied electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the
tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug.
Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged.
If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before
If the plug will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
WARNING
GROUNDING TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG
PLUGS
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire
cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be
connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should
electronically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See
3-Prong Plug and Outlet)
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look
like those in the preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug
and Outlet)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the
green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the
tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire
connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never
be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong
Plug and Outlet)
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO
PRONG PLUGS
1. Tools marked with “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation system
which satises OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc., the Canadian Standards Association, and the
National Electrical Code.
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120
volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration. (See
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug)
EXTENSION CORDS
1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire
extension cord.
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can
carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A)
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must
use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords
with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. (See Table A)
4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the
total length, make sure each cord contains at least the
minimum wire size required. (See Table A)
5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool,
add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine
the required minimum cord size. (See Table A)
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is
marked with the sufx “W-A” (”W” in Canada) to indicate
it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualied electrician before
using it.
