Fire Or Explosion; Burn Protection; Protecting Eyes From Flying Metal Or Dirt; Pacemakers - LOTOS LTP5000D User Manual

Welding or Cutting can cause Fire or Explosion.
Welding, cutting, and allied
processes can cause fire or
explosion if precautionary
measures are not followed.
• Develop adequate procedures, and use proper
equipment to do the job safely.
Burn Protection: HOT PARTS can cause serious burns.
The work piece and equipment get
hot. The hot metal, hot work piece,
and hot equipment can cause burns.
Protect eyes from FLYING METAL or DIRT.
• Welding, chipping, wire brushing,
and grinding cause sparks and
flying metal.
PACEN MAKERS AND WELDING: MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect implanted devices.
Electric arc welding and cutting
processes produce intense electric
and magnetic (electromagnetic)
fields. The function of pacemakers
can be affected by strong
electromagnetic fields.
CYLINDER HANDLING: Tank can explode if damaged.
Shielding gas cylinders contain gas
under high pressure. If damaged, a
cylinder can explode. Be sure to
treat gas cylinders carefully.
• Keep cylinders away from any welding activities or
other electrical circuits.
If you encounter any difficulties during set up or operation:
• Consult this manual.
• Contact Lotos Customer Service by visiting
http://www.uwelding.com/contact/.
• Remove combustible materials from a sphere
with a minimum radius of 35 feet around the
work area or move the work to a location well
away from combustible materials.
• Use approved helmets or hand shields that
provide protection for the face, neck, etc.
• Wear approved safety goggles or glasses with
side shields, even under your helmet.
• Wear dry, hole-free insulated gloves.
• Wear approved safety glasses with side shields,
even under your welding helmet.
• Persons with a pacemaker should not go
near welding or cutting operations until they
have consulted their doctors and obtained
information from the manufacturer about the
device.
• Protect compressed gas cylinders from
excessive heat, mechanical shocks, physical
damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and
arcs.
• Install cylinders in an upright position by
securing to a stationary support or cylinder
rack to prevent falling or tipping.
