ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

WELDING and CUTTING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

4. Keep the torch in good repair and all connections tight to reduce high frequency leakage. 5. The work terminal must be connected to a ground within ten feet of the welder, using one of the fol- lowing methods: • A metal underground water pipe in direct contact with the earth for ten feet or more.
Otherwise, it is user provided. With power source off, connect a separate work cable to the 1/2-13 threaded "WORK" stud of the welder, and secure a tight connection with the flange nut provided. The work cable should be routed through the cable strain relief hole provided in the base directly below the welding output terminal.
