Do not touch live electrical parts.
Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats or covers big enough
to prevent any physical contact with the work or ground.
Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if there is a danger of
falling.
Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process.
If AC output is required; use remote output control if present on unit.
Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or servicing this equipment.
Properly install and ground this equipment according to its Owner’s Manual and
national, state, and local codes.
Always verify the supply ground-check and be sure that input power cord ground wire is
properly connected to ground terminal in disconnect box or that cord plug is connected
to a properly grounded receptacle outlet.
When making input connections attach proper grounding conductor first-double-check
connections.
Frequently inspect input power cords for damage or bare wiring-replace cord
immediately; damaged-bare wiring can kill.
Turn off all equipment when not in use.
Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.
Do not drape cables over your body.
If earth grounding of the work-piece is required, ground it directly with a separate cable.
Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground, or another electrode
from a different machine.
Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged parts at once.
Maintain unit according to manual.
Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.
Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to work-piece or worktable as near
the weld as practical.
Insulate work clamp when not connected to work-piece to prevent contact with any
metal object.
Do not contact more than one electrode or work cable to any single weld output
terminal.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.
Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases
can be hazardous to your health.Keep your head out of the fumes. Do
not breathe the fumes.
If inside, ventilate the area and /or use exhaust at the arc to remove welding fumes and
gases.
If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
Read the Material Safety Date Sheets (MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions for
metals, Consumables, Coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.
Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied
respirator. Always have a trained watch person nearby. 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 degreasing, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of
the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel,
unless the coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and if
