    Expressweld MasterMIG 250CT 1 General Safety Rules THIS MACHINE HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR GMAW (MIG/ MAG). SHALL NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. WARNING: This symbol indicates that the instructions within the user guide must be followed to avoid potential serious personal injury, loss of life and damages on machine.
  • Page 7 Expressweld MasterMIG 250CT  Wool y clothing should be preferred due to its resistance against flame. Synthetic clothing should not be worn since they will melt when exposed to heat.  Protective clothing should be protected from grease and oil. This kind of materials may flare and burn uncontrolledly in an environment with oxygen.
  • Page 8 Expressweld MasterMIG 250CT  All equipment, cables, hoses and gas cylinders should be kept away from busy places such as doors, aisles and stairs. Care should be taken for the tidiness of the environment and when welding is completed working environment should be cleaned. By this way, both work safety and working efficiency will increase.
  • Page 9 Expressweld MasterMIG 250CT  Never simultaneously touch electrically "hot" parts of electrode holders connected to two separate welders, because voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both welders.  When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
  • Page 10 Expressweld MasterMIG 250CT GASES and FUMES can be dangerous.  When welding with electrodes which require special ventilation such as stainless or hard facing or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and keep the exposure level under “Minimum Limit Values”...
  • Page 11 Expressweld MasterMIG 250CT WELDING and CUTTING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.  Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations.  Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside.
  • Page 12 Expressweld MasterMIG 250CT If you are working above floor level or on stairway, make sure there is no flammable or explosive material below. Also please remember that slag and sparks may splash on people around. Special precautions should be used when welding in dusty environment. Dust particles ...
  • Page 13 Expressweld MasterMIG 250CT CYLINDER may explode if damaged.  Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the welding application and maintained in good condition with a proper installation.
