use of
electric arc welders can cause
electric shock, injury, and
death! Take all precautions
described in this manual to reduce the
possibility of electric shock.
G Verify that all components of arc
welder are clean and in good
condition prior to operating the
welder. Be sure that the insulation
on all cables, wire feed gun, and
power cords is not damaged.
Always repair or replace damaged
components before operating
welder. Always keep welder panels,
shields, etc. in place when operating
the welder.
G Always wear dry, protective
clothing, welding gloves, and
insulated footwear.
G Always operate welder in a clean,
dry, well ventilated area. Do not
operate it in humid, wet, rainy, or
poorly ventilated areas.
G Be sure work piece is properly
supported and grounded before
beginning any electric arc welding
operation.
G Coiled welding cable should be
spread out before use to avoid
overheating and damage to
insulation.
Never immerse the

gun in water. If the welder becomes
wet for any reason, be absolutely
certain that it is completely clean and
dry before using!
G Always shut equipment off and
unplug power prior to moving
welder.
G Always attach work lead first.
G Verify that work piece is securely

G Never allow any part of body to
touch wire and ground or grounded
work piece at the same time.
G Awkward welding conditions and
positions can be electrically
hazardous. When crouching,
kneeling or at elevations, be sure to
insulate all conductive parts, wear
appropriate protective clothing, and
take precautions to prevent injury
from falls.
G Never attempt to use this equip-
ment at current settings or duty
cycles higher than those specified
on the equipment labels.
G Never use an electric arc welder to
thaw frozen pipes.

and hot metal can cause
injury. As welds cool, slag
can be thrown off. Take all
precautions described in this manual to
reduce the possibility of injury from
flying sparks and hot metal.
G Wear ANSI-approved (American
National Standards Institute-
approved) face shield or safety
glasses with side shield protection
when chipping or grinding metal
parts.
G Wear ear plugs when welding
overhead to prevent spatter or slag
from falling into ears.
Electric

arc
welding operations produce
intense light and heat and
ultraviolet (UV) rays. The
intense light and UV rays can cause
injury to eyes and skin. Take all
precautions described in this manual to
reduce the possibility of injury to eyes
and skin.
G All persons operating this
equipment or in the area while
equipment is in use must wear

possibility of flames and explosions.
G Remove all flammable materials
within 35 feet (10.7 m) of welding
arc. If removal is not possible,
tightly cover flammable materials
with fireproof covers.
G Do not operate any electric arc
welder in areas where flammable or
explosive vapors may be present.
