NEVER IMMERSE THE ELECTRODE OR ELECTRODE
HOLDER IN WATER. IF THE WELDING MACHINE
IS WET FOR ANY REASON, BE SURE THAT IT
IS COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO USE IT.
21
Always shut down your equipment before moving the unit.
Always attach first the work conductor.
22
Check that the work piece is positively grounded.
23
24
Always shut the electric welder off and remove the
electrode from the holder when welder is not in use.
Never allow any part of the human body to touch the
25
work electrode and ground or the grounded work piece
at the same time.
The human body conditions and inconvenient body
26
positions while welding can cause
hazard. When crouching, kneeling or at elevations, be
sure to insulate all conductive parts, wear appropriate
protective clothing and take precautions to prevent
injuries caused by falls.
27
Never attempt to use this equipment with current
settings or duty cycles higher than those specified on
the equipment labels.
Never use an electric arc welder to thaw frozen pipes.
28
THE DETACHED SPARKS AND HOT METAL CAN
CAUSE INJURIES.
AS THE WELDS TURNS COLDER IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT DETACHMENT OF SLAGS OCCUR. TAKE ALL
PRECAUTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL TO
REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURIES CAUSED
BY SPARKS AND HOT METAL DETACHMENTS.
29
When chipping or grinding metal parts wear approved
by ANSI protective helmet or safety glasses with side
protection. Use ear plugs when welding above your head
to prevent spatter or slag falling into your ears.
ELECTRIC ARC WELDING OPERATIONS PRODUCE A
BRIGHT LIGHT AND HEAT, AND ULTRAVIOLET (UV)
RAYS. THIS MAY CAUSE INJURIES TO THE EYES
AND SKIN. TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS DESCRIBED
IN THIS MANUAL TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF
INJURY.
30
All persons using this equipment or who are in the area
while the equipment is being used shall use protective
equipment that includes: helmet or protective welding
glass shade 10, wear resistant to flames, leather welding
gloves and full foot protection.
NEVER SEE THE OPERATIONS OF ARC WELDING
WITHOUT EYE PROTECTION DESCRIBED ABOVE.
NEVER USE DARK FILTER LENSES THAT ARE
CRACKED, BROKEN OR UNDER 10 SHADOW
CLASSIFICATION. WARN OTHERS IN THE AREA
THAT THEY DO NOT SEE THE ARC.
ELECTRIC ARC WELDING OPERATIONS CAUSE
SPARKS AND HOT METAL AT TEMPERATURES THAT
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS. WEAR GLOVES AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN PERFORMING ANY
METAL WORK.

TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS
MANUAL TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF BURNS
ON THE SKIN AND CLOTHING.
31
Make sure that all persons in the area of doing welding
are protected from heat, sparks, and ultraviolet rays. Use
additional protection for face and flame resistant barriers
as needed.
Never touch work pieces until they have completely
32
cooled down.
HEAT AND SPARKS PRODUCED DURING SOME
WELDING WORKS AND OTHER METAL WORKING
OPERATIONS CAN IGNITE FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS. TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS
DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL TO REDUCE THE
POSSIBILITY OF FLAMES AND EXPLOSIONS.
Remove all flammable materials within a radius of 35 feet
33
(11 meters) away from the place where the welding work
is being performed. If it is not possible to remove them
tightly cover flammable materials with fireproof covers.
Take precautions to make sure that sparks flying and
34
the heat do not cause flames in hidden areas, behind
screens, etc.
FIRE HAZARD. DO NOT WELD ON CONTAINERS
OR PIPES THAT CONTAIN OR HAVE CONTAINED
F L A M M A B L E O R C O M B U S T I B L E L I Q U I D S
MATERIALS.
SOLDERING OF CYLINDERS OR CLOSED TANKS OR
DRUMS CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION IF APPROPRIATE
HOLES HAVE NOT DONE ON THEM.
VERIFY THAT ANY CYLINDER OR CLOSED
CONTAINER TO BE SOLDERED HAS A SUITABLE
VENTILATION HOLE, SO THAT EXPANDING GASES
CAN BE RELEASED.
DO NOT BREATHE FUMES PRODUCED BY THE
ARC WELDING PROCESS. THESE GASES ARE
DANGEROUS.
IF THE AREA OF WELDING CAN NOT BE VENTILATED
PROPERLY, BE SURE TO WEAR A RESPIRATOR
WITH A TANK OF OXYGEN.
Keep head and face away from the welding gases.
35
36
Do not perform electric arc welding operations on metals
that are galvanized or cadmium plated, or contain zinc,
mercury, or beryllium, without completing the following
precautions:
a. remove the coating from the base metal.
b. make sure that the area of soldering it is well ventilated.
c. use a respirator with oxygen.
Extremely toxic gases are created when these metals
are heated.
T H E E L E C T R O M A G N E T I C F I E L D T H AT I S
GENERATED DURING ARC WELDING CAN INTERFER
THE OPERATION OF VARIOUS ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONIC DEVICES, FOR EXAMPLE CARDIAC
PACEMAKERS. PEOPLE WHO USE SUCH DEVICES
SHOULD CONSULT WITH A DOCTOR BEFORE
MAKING ANY ELECTRIC ARC WELDING OPERATION
