Eastwood MP200i Instructions Manual page 23

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS CAN BE A HEALTH HAZARD!
• The electromagnetic field that is generated during arc welding may interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such
as cardiac pacemakers. Anyone using such devices should consult with their physician prior to performing any electric welding
operations.
• Exposure to electromagnetic fields while welding may have other health effects which are not known.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN!
• Arc rays produce intense ultraviolet radiation which can burn exposed skin and cause eye damage. Use a shield with the proper
filter (a minimum of #11) to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or when observing open arc
welding (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 for safety standards).
• Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin.
• If other persons or pets are in the area of welding, use welding screens to protect bystanders from sparks and arc rays.
FUMES AND WELDING GASES CAN BE A HEALTH HAZARD!
• Fumes and gasses released during welding are hazardous. Do not breathe fumes that are produced by the welding operation. Wear
an OSHA-approved respirator when welding.
• Always work in a properly ventilated area.
• Never weld coated materials including but not limited to: cadmium plated, galvanized, lead based paints.
HOT METAL AND TOOLS WILL BURN!
• Electric welding heats metal and tools to temperatures that will cause severe burns!
• Use protective, heat resistant gloves and clothing when using Eastwood or any other welding equipment. Never touch welded work
surface, torch tip or nozzle until they have completely cooled.

surface, torch tip or nozzle until they have completely cooled.
FLYING METAL CHIPS CAN CAUSE INJURY!
• Grinding and sanding will eject metal chips, dust, debris and sparks at high velocity. To prevent eye injury wear approved safety
glasses.
• Wear an OSHA-approved respirator when grinding or sanding.
• Read all manuals included with specific grinders, sanders or other power tools used before and after the welding process. Be aware
of all power tool safety warnings.
INADEQUATE WIRING CAN CAUSE FIRE AND INJURY!
• Verify that the facility power source has properly rated wiring to handle power requirements of this Welder.
