Safety Precautions

Everlast is dedicated to providing you with the best possible equipment and service to meet the de-
mands of the welding applications that you have. We want to go beyond delivering a satisfactory prod-
uct to you. That is the reason we offer free North American based technical support to assist you with
your needs should an occasion occur. With proper use and care your product should deliver years of
trouble free service.
Safe operation and proper maintenance is your responsibility.
We have compiled this operator's manual to instruct you in basic safety, operation and maintenance of
your Everlast product to give you the best possible experience. Overall, welding requires experience
and common sense to obtain the best results in the safest manner. As thorough as this welding manual
may be, it cannot substitute for the time, instruction and knowledge level required to learn how to weld.
Exercise extreme caution and care in all activities related to welding or cutting. Your safety, health and
even life depends upon it. While an accident is never planned, preventing an accident requires careful
planning.
Please read this manual carefully before you operate your Everlast unit. Do not operate this welder
until you are thoroughly familiar with its safe and proper operation. If you feel you need more infor-
mation please contact Everlast.
The warranty does not cover improper use, maintenance or consumables. Accessories such as guns,
torches regulators, foot pedals etc. are not covered in the unit warranty. They are covered under a sepa-
rate warranty. Do not attempt to alter or defeat any piece or part of your unit, particularly any safety
device. Keep all shields and covers in place during unit operation should an unlikely failure of internal
components result in the possible presence of sparks and explosions. If a failure occurs, discontinue
further use until malfunctioning parts or accessories have been repaired or replaced by qualified person-
nel.
Please read and review all of the following safety information and warnings be-
fore use! Some information is unique to your unit and may not carry over be-
tween brands or types of welders. This is for your health and well-being.
Note on High Frequency electromagnetic disturbances:
Certain welding and cutting processes generate High Frequency (HF) waves. These waves may disturb sensitive
electronic equipment such as televisions, radios, computers, cell phones, and related equipment. High Frequency
may also interfere with fluorescent lights. Consult with an electrician if disturbance is noted. Sometimes, im-
proper wire routing or poor shielding may be the cause.
HF can interfere with pacemakers. See EMF warnings in following safety section for further information. Always
consult your physician before entering an area known to have welding or cutting equipment if you have a pace-
maker.
