Page 3: Electric Shock Can Kill
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. - Page 4 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.

Page 9: Safety Precautions
Do not ground the machine to a pipe that carries explosive or combustible material. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, it’s frame must be electrically bonded to the metal frame of the vehi- cle. Use a #8 or larger copper wire connected between the machine grounding stud and the frame of the vehicle. -
Page 10: Vehicle Mounting
Lengths stipulated are the distance from the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing cable voltage drop. -
Page 11: Angle Of Operation
Also, locate the welder so that engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area. - Page 12 T12246. INSTRUCTIONS ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Always operate the welder with the roof and case sides in place as this provides maximum protection from moving parts and assures proper cooling air flow.
