EMF INFORMATION

Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of

Low Frequency Electric And Magnetic Fields.

Welding current, as it flows through welding cables,

will cause electro- magnetic fields. There has been

and still is some concern about such fields.

owever, after examining more than 500 studies

spanning 17 years of research, a special blue

ribbon committee of the National Research Council

concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the

committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that

exposure to power- frequency electric and

magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”

owever, studies are still going forth and evidence

continues to be examined. Until the final

conclusions of the research are reached, you may

wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic

fields when welding or cutting.

To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the

following procedures:

1. Keep cables close together by twisting or

taping them.

2. Arrange cables to one side and away from

the operator.

3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.

4. Keep welding power source and cables as far

away from operator as practical.

5. Connect work clamp to work piece as close

to the weld as possible.

ABOUT PACEMAKERS

Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor first. If

cleared by your doctor, then following the above

procedures is recommended.

WELDING HAZARDS

The symbols shown below are used throughout this

manual to call attention to and identify possible

hazards. When you see the symbol, watch out, and

follow the related instructions to avoid the hazard.

Only qualified persons should service, test,

maintain, and repair this unit.

During servicing, keep everybody, especially

children, away.

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin; NOISE can

damage hearing. Arc rays from the welding

process produce intense heat and strong

ultraviolet rays that can burn eyes and skin.

Noise from some processes can damage

hearing.

1. Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper

shade of filter (ANSI Z49.1) to protect your

face and eyes when welding or watching.

2. Wear approved safety glasses. Side shields

recommended. Never wear contact lenses

while welding.

3. Use protective screens or barriers to protect

others from flash and glare; warn others not

to watch the arc.

4. Wear protective clothing made from durable,

flame-resistant material (wool and leather)

and foot protection.

5. Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs if noise

level is high.

ARC RAYS

Can Burn

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal

shocks or severe burns. The electrode and

work circuit is electrically live whenever the

output is on. The input power circuit and

machine internal circuits are also live when

power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic

wire welding, the wire, wire reel, drive roll

housing, and all metal parts touching the

welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly

installed or improperly grounded equipment is

a hazard.

1. Do not touch live electrical parts.

2. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body

protection.

3. Insulate yourself from work and ground using

dry insulating mats or covers.

4. Disconnect input power or stop engine before

installing or servicing this equipment. Lock input

power disconnect switch open, or remove line

fuses so power cannot be turned on

accidentally.

5. Properly install and ground this equipment

according to its Owner’s Manual and national,

state, and local codes.

6. Turn off all equipment when not in use.

Disconnect power to equipment if it will be left

unattended or out of service.

7. Use fully insulated electrode holders. Never dip

holder in water to cool it or lay it down on the

ground or the work surface. Do not touch

holders connected to two welding machines at

the same time or touch other people with the

holder or electrode.

8. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or

poorly spliced cables.

9. Do not wrap cables around your body.

10. Ground the workpiece to a good electrical

(earth) ground.

11. Do not touch electrode while in contact with

the work (ground) circuit.

12. Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair

or replace damaged parts at once.

13. In confined spaces or damp locations, do not

use a welder with AC output unless it is

equipped with a voltage reducer. Use

equipment with DC output.

14. Wear a safety harness to prevent falling if

working above floor level.

15. Keep all panels and covers securely in place.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous to your

health. Welding produces fumes and gases.

Breathing these fumes and gases can be haz-

ardous to your health.

1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not

breath the fumes.

2. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use

exhaust at the arc to remove welding fumes

and gases.

3. If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-

supplied respirator.

4. Read the Material Safety Data Sheets

(MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s instruction

for metals, consumables, coatings, and

cleaners.

5. Work in a confined space only if it is well

ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied

respirator.

Shielding g ses used for welding c n displ ce

air causing injury or death. Be sure the

breathing air is safe.

6. Do not weld in locations near degreasing,

cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat

and rays of the arc can react with vapors to

form highly toxic and irritating gases.

7. 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

necessary, while wearing an airsupplied

respirator. The coatings and any metals

containing these elements can give off toxic

fumes if welded.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

Can Kill

FUMES & GASES

Can Be Dangerous

FLYING SPARKS AND HOT METAL can cause

injury.

Chipping and grinding cause flying metal.

As welds cool, they can throw off slag.

1. Wear approved face shield or safety goggles.

Side shields recommended.

2. Wear proper body protection to protect skin.

CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.

Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high

pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode.

Since gas cylinders are normally part of the

welding process, be sure to treat them

carefully.

1. Protect compressed gas cylinders from

excessive heat, mechanical shocks, and arcs.

2. Install and secure cylinders in an upright

position by chaining them to a stationary

support or equipment cylinder rack to

prevent falling or tipping.

3. Keep cylinders away from any welding or other

electrical circuits.

4. Never allow a welding electrode to touch any

cylinder.

5. Use only correct shielding gas cylinders,

regulators, hoses, and fittings designed for the

specific application; maintain them and

associated parts in good condition.

6. Turn face away from valve outlet when opening

cylinder valve.

7. Keep protective cap in place over valve except

when cylinder is in use or connected for use.

WELDING can cause fire or explosion.

Sparks and spatter fly off from the welding arc.

The flying sparks and hot metal, weld spatter,

hot workpiece, and hot equipment can cause

fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode

or welding wire to metal objects can cause

sparks, overheating, or fire.

1. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks

and hot metal.

2. Do not weld where flying sparks can strike

flammable material.

3. Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of

the welding arc. If this is not possible, tightly

cover them with approved covers.

4. Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials

from welding can easily go through small

cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

5. Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher

nearby.

6. Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor,

bulkhead, or partition can cause fire on the

hidden side.

7. Do not weld on closed containers such as

tanks or drums.

8. Connect work cable to the work as close to

the welding area as practical to prevent

welding current from traveling long, possibly

unknown paths and causing electric shock and

fire hazards.

9. Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.

10. Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off

welding wire at contact tip when not in use.

11. When not welding, make certain no part of the

electrode circuit is touching the work or

ground. Accidental contact can cause

overheating and create a fire hazard.

INSTALLATION

ENVIRONMENT

These units are designed for use in environments

with increased hazard of electric shock.

A. Examples of environments with increased

hazard of electric shock are:

1. In locations in which freedom of movement is

restricted, so that the operator is forced to

perform the work in a cramped (kneeling,

sitting or lying) position with physical contact

with conductive parts.

2. In locations which are fully or partially limited

by conductive elements, and in which there is

a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact

by the operator.

3. In wet or damp hot locations where humidity

or perspiration considerable reduces the skin

resistance of the human body and the

insulation properties of accessories.

B. Environments with increased hazard of electric

shock do not include places where electrically

conductive parts in the near vicinity of the

operator, which can cause increased hazard,

have been insulated.

LOCATION

This machine can operate in harsh environments.

owever, it is important that simple preventative

measures are followed to assure long life and reli-

able operation:

• This machine must be located where there is

free circulation of clean air without restrictions

for air movement to and from the air vents. Do

not cover the machine with paper, cloth or rags

when switched on.

• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the

machine should be kept to a minimum.

• This machine has a protection rating of IP21S.

Keep it dry and do not place it on wet ground

or in puddles. Do not use in wet or damp

locations. Store indoors.

• Locate the machine away from radio controlled

machinery. Normal operation may adversely

affect the operation of nearby radio controlled

machinery, which may result in injury or

equipment damage.

Read the section on electromagnetic compatibility

in this manual.

• Do not operate in areas with an ambient

temperature greater than 40°C.

TILTING

Place the machine directly on a secure, level

surface.

Do not place or operate this machine on a surface

with an incline greater than 15° from horizontal.

The machine may topple over if this procedure is

not followed.

VENTILATION

This cutting machine can create powerful cutting

current and has strict cooling requirements that

cannot be met with natural ventilation. Therefore

the built-in fan is very important in enabling the

machine to work stable with effective cooling. The

operator should make sure that the louvers be

uncovered and unblocked. The minimum distance

between the machine and nearby objects should

be 25cm.
