If not done properly, it can result in fire, explosion, damage to wiring which may make it unsafe, dam- age to pipes, burning up the welder, or other haz- ards. Do not use a welder to thaw pipe before reviewing Lincoln Bulletin E695.1 (dated October 1987 or later.)
----------------------------------------------------------- General Instructions 1. Blow out the welder and controls with an air hose at least once every two months. In particularly dirty locations, this cleaning may be necessary once a week. Use low pressure air to avoid driving dirt into the insulation.
