When using power equipment, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and

personal injury, including the following. If used correctly, weld-

ers pose little risk to the operator; however, care should always

be taken to ensure safety and proper performance. Read all

owner’s operating instructions before attempting to operate any

product.

FOR SAFE OPERATION:

KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN: Cluttered working areas

(indoor and outdoor) invite injuries.

CONSIDER THE WORK ENVIRONMENT: Don’t expose power

equipment to rain. Don’t use welding equipment in damp or

wet locations. Keep the work area well lit. Don’t use welding

equipment in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK: Avoid body contact the

grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiator, and electrical appli-

ances).

KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY: Keep children, infirmed

persons and visitors away from the area of operation. Do not

let children, infirmed persons or visitors touch equipment or

extension cables.

STORE IDLE TOOLS: When power equipment is not in use,

keep them in a dry, high or locked area, out of reach of chil-

dren.

WEAR SAFETY GLASSES: Always wear safety goggles or other

suitable eye protection when using welding equipment.

SECURE WORK: Use clamps or a vice whenever possible to

secure work.

DON’T OVERREACH: Keep proper footing and balance at all

times.

DRESS PROPERLY: DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewel-

lery. They can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective

hair covering to cover long hair, and gloves and non-slip

footwear is recommended when working outdoors.

TAKE CARE OF CABLES: Never carry welding equipment by

the cable and never pull the cable to disconnect it from a

socket. Keep cables away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

Replace damaged cables.

DISCONNECT TOOLS: Disconnect welding equipment when

not in use, before servicing, and when changing accesso-

ries such as blades, bits and cutters.

AVOID UNINTENTIONAL OPERATION: Don’t carry plugged in

welding equipment with a finger on the switch. Be sure

that the switch is off when plugging in.

OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CABLES: When electric power

equipment is used outdoors, only use extension cables

marked as suitable for outdoor use.

STAY ALERT: Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate welders when you are tired or under

the influence of alcohol or drugs.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS: Before using welding equipment,

parts that are damaged should be carefully checked to de-

termine that they will operate properly and perform their

intended function. Any part that is damaged should be

properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service

agent. Have defect switches replaced by an authorized re-

pair agent. Do not operate power equipment if it cannot be

turned off and on by the switch.

REPAIR OF POWER EQUIPMENT BY EXPERTS: Power equip-

ment is built in accordance with relevant safety authority

requirements. The repair of power equipment must only be

carried out by experts; non-expert repairs may cause con-

siderable danger for the user and void warranty.
