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.

Machine Operating Safety

• Do not switch the function modes while the machine is operating. Switching of the function modes during welding can damage
the machine. Damage caused in this manner will not be covered under warranty.

• Disconnect the electrode-holder cable from the machine before switching on the machine, to avoid arcing should the
electrode be in contact with the work piece.

• Operators should be trained and or qualified.

Electric shock: It can kill. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode

• Connect the primary input cable according to American standards and regulations. ANSI Z49.1

• 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.

• 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 confined or heavy fume environments always wear an approved air-supplied 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
vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.

• Materials such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, containing elements that can give off toxic fumes when

welded. Do not weld these materials unless the area is very well ventilated, and or wearing an air supplied respirator.

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.

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.

4

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 filter 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 flash, glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.

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 fires and burns. Accidental contact of
electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion,

overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding.

• The welding sparks may cause fire, therefore remove any flammable materials away from the working area, at least

39.37ft from the welding arc. Cover flammable 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 ensure that flammable 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 flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapors (such as petrol)

• Have a fire 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, floor, bulkhead, or

partition can cause fire on the hidden side.

Gas Cylinders. Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode.
Because gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to
treat them carefully. CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.

• Protect gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, 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 pressurized 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 buildup of gas can cause a toxic environment, deplete the oxygen content in the air

resulting in death or injury. Many gases used in welding are invisible and odorless.

• Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use.

• Always ventilate confined spaces or use approved air-supplied respirator.

Electronic magnetic fields. MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect 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.
