TO PREVENT
SERIOUS INJURY

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

1. Designate a work area that is clean
and well-lit. The work area must not
allow access by children or pets to
prevent injury and distraction.
2. Route the Power Cord (28) along a
safe route to reach the work area
without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the Power Cord to possible
damage. The Power Cord must
reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement
while working.
3. Secure loose work pieces using
a vise or clamps (not included) to
prevent movement while working.
The work pieces should be firmly
held together and in position while
welding. The distance (if any)
between the two work pieces must
be controlled properly to allow the
weld to hold both sides securely while
allowing the weld to penetrate fully
into the joint.
4. There must not be hazardous
objects, such as utility lines or foreign
objects, nearby that will present a
hazard while working.
5. A barrier, such as a welding curtain
or welding shroud should be put up
to protect others in the work area and
limit the spray of sparks.
