SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Follow these precautions carefully. Improper use of any welder
can result in injury or death.

1. ONLY CONNECT WELDER TO A POWER SOURCE FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGEND.
The specifi ca tion p lat e on the weld er list s t his inf or mati on . When weld ing ou td oors o nly use a n
extension cord intended for such use.

2. ONLY OPERATE WELDER IN DRY LOCATIONS and on cement or masonry floor. Keep
area clean and uncluttered.

3. KEEP ALL COMBUSTIBLES AWAY FROM WORK SITE.

4. DO NOT WEAR CLOTHING THAT HAS BEEN CONTAMINATED with grease or oil.

5. KEEP CABLES DRY AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE and never coil around
shoulders.

6. SECURE WORK WITH CLAMPS or other means; don't overreach when working.

7. NEVER STRIKE AN ARC ON A COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER

8. DON'T ALLOW THE INSULATED PORTION OF THE ELECTRODE HOLDER TO TOUCH
THE WELDING GROUND WHILE CURRENT IS FLOWING.

9. SHUT OFF POWER AND UNPLUG MACHINE WHEN REPAIRING OR ADJUSTING.
Inspect before every use. Only use identical replacement parl.

10. FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTURER'S RULES on operating switches and making
adjustments.

11. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING when welding . This includes: long sleeved
shir t(l ea the r sl eeve s) , prot ect ive apr on wit ho ut pocke ts , lon g prot ec tiv e pa nts an d bo ots. W hen
handing hot materials, wear asbestos gloves.

12. ALWAYS WEAR A WELDER'S HELMET WITH PROTECTIVE EYE PIECE when welding.
Arcs may cause blindness. Wear a protective cap underneath the helmet.

13. WHEN WELDING OVERHEAD, BEWARE OF HOT METAL DROPPINGS. Always protect
the head, ha nd , fee t an d bo dy.

14. KEEP A FIRE EXTINGUISHER CLOSE BY AT ALL TIMES.

15. DO NOT EXCEED THE DUTY CYCLE OF THE MACHINE. The rated cycle of a welding
machine is the percentage of a ten minute period that the machine can operate safely at a
give n ou t p ut se t ting.

16. KEEP ALL CHILDREN AWAY FROM WORK AREA. When storing equipment, make sure
it is out of reach of chil dren.

17. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO not work when tired. Do not let

body come

In'contact with grounded surfaces.
