Read Instructions - Hobart Welders GMAW Manual

D Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.
D Perform maintenance and service according to the Owner's Manuals,
industry standards, and national, state, and local codes.
D If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the arc
to remove welding fumes and gases.
D If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
D Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the
manufacturer's instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, clean-
ers, and degreasers.
D Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an
air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby.
Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level
causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
D Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying opera-
tions. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly
toxic and irritating gases.
D Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium
plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area, the area
is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coat-
ings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic fumes
if welded.
