GENERAL SAFETY
Note: Spot welding produces sparks, fused metal projectiles and fumes which are dangerous.
! WARNING: Unplug from power supply before connecting cables and accessories, or before performing maintenance or service.
Ensure that the welder and all cables are in good order and condition.
#
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only, unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
#
Keep the welder clean for best and safest performance.
#
Locate the welder in a suitable work area and ensure that good ventilation is provided.
#
Keep work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
#
WARNING: Ensure that no flammable or combustible materials are in, or near, the work area. Welding containers or pipes which
! !
hold, or have held, dangerous gases or substances may cause explosion or fire. Materials cleaned with chlorinated solvents, or
varnished surfaces pose the danger of toxic fumes.
WARNING: Spot welding generates strong magnetic fields. Take great care to ensure that there are no items near your work area
! !
that may be attracted to the welding process and ensure that there are no items that may be damaged or adversely effected by
operating the welder.
WARNING: Electronic watches may be damaged. Persons wearing heart pace-makers must not operate, or be in the area of the welder.
! !
WARNING: You MUST use safety goggles or a face shield, such as the Sealey SSP9, or SSP10.
! !
