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.
Electric shock: It 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.
• Connect the primary input cable according to Australian and New Zealand standards and
regulations.
• Avoid all contact with live electrical parts of the welding circuit, electrodes and wires with
bare hands.
The operator must wear dry welding gloves while he/she performs the welding task.
• The operator should keep the work piece insulated from himself/herself.
• Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks.
• Frequently inspect input power cable for wear and tear, replace the cable immediately if damaged,
bare wiring is dangerous and can kill.
• Do not use damaged, under sized, or badly joined cables.
• Do not drape cables over your body.
• We recommend (RCD) safety switch is used with this equipment to detect any leakage of current to earth.
Fumes and gases are dangerous. Smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting can be harmful to
people’s health. Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous
to your health.
• Do not breathe the smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting, keep your head out
of the fumes
• Keep the working area well ventilated, use fume extraction or ventilation to remove welding fumes and
gases.
• In conned or heavy fume environments always wear an approved powered air-purifying respirator.
Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the
breathing air is safe.
• Do not weld in locations near de-greasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc
can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
• Materials such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, containing elements that can give o󰀨 toxic
fumes when welded. Do not weld these materials unless the area is very well ventilated, and or wearing
an powered air-purifying respirator.
Arc rays: harmful to people’s eyes and skin. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible
and invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays that can burn eyes and skin.
• Always wear a welding helmet with correct shade of lter lens and suitable protective
clothing including
welding gloves whilst the welding operation is performed.
• Measures should be taken to protect people in or near the surrounding working area. Use protective
screens or barriers to protect others from ash,glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.

4
Fire hazard. Welding on closed containers, such as tanks,drums, or pipes, can cause them
to explode. Flying sparks from the welding arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause
res and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion,
overheating, or re. Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding.
• The welding sparks & spatter may cause re, therefore remove any ammable materials well away from
the working area. Cover ammable materials and containers with approved covers if unable to be moved
from the welding area.
• Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes, unless they are properly prepared
according to the required Safety Standards to insure that ammable or toxic vapors and substances are
totally removed, these can cause an explosion even though the vessel has been “cleaned”.
Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.
• Do not weld where the atmosphere may contain ammable dust, gas, or liquid vapours (such as petrol)
• Have a re extinguisher nearby and know how to use it. Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials
from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Be aware that welding
on a ceiling, oor, bulkhead, or partition can cause re on the hidden side.
Gas Cylinders. Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylin-
der can explode. Because gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sur
e to treat them carefully. CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.
• Protect gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, physical damage, slag, open ames,
sparks, and arcs.
• Insure cylinders are held secure and upright to prevent tipping or falling over.
• Never allow the welding electrode or earth clamp to touch the gas cylinder, do not drape welding cables
over the cylinder.
• Never weld on a pressurised gas cylinder, it will explode and kill you.
• Open the cylinder valve slowly and turn your face away from the cylinder outlet valve and gas regulator.
Gas build up. The build up of gas can causes a toxic environment, deplete the oxygen content
in the air resulting in death or injury. Many gases used in welding are invisible and odourless.
• Shut o󰀨 shielding gas supply when not in use.
• Always ventilate conned spaces or use approved powered air-purifying respirator.
Electronic magnetic elds. MAGNETIC FIELDS can a󰀨ect Implanted Medical Devices.
•Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Medical Devices should keep away.
•Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before going
near any electric welding, cutting or heating operation.
Noise can damage hearing. Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
Wear approved hearing protection if noise level is high.
Hot parts. Items being welded generate and hold high heat and can cause severe burns.
Do not touch hot parts with bare hands. Allow a cooling period before working on the welding
gun. Use insulated welding gloves and clothing to handle hot parts and prevent burns.
