SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
If a grounding lead (conductor) is
part of the power supply cable, be
sure
to
connect
it
to
a
properly
grounded
switch
box
or
building
ground.
If
not
part
of
the
supply
cable, use a separate grounding lead
(conductor). Do not remove a ground
prong
from
any
plug.
Use
correct
mating
receptacles.
Check
ground
for electrical continuity before us
ing equipment.
2.
Electrode
Holders
-
Use
only
fully
insulated
electrode
holder.
Keep
in
good
condition.
Tighten
screws so handle and other insulated
parts
stay
in
place.
Never
dip
holder in water to cool it, or lay
it down on ground or on work sur
face.
Do
not
touch
holders
con
nected
to
two
welding
machines
at
the same time, or touch other people
with the holder or electrode.
3.
Welding
Leads
-
Inspect
leads
often for damage to the insulation.
Replace
or
repair
cracked
or
worn
leads immediately. Do not loop lead
around
your
body.
Do
not
use
a
welding current in excess of rated
lead
capacity,
as
the
lead
will
overheat.
4. Output Terminals - Do not touch
output
terminals
or
make
contact
with
machine
while
equipment
is
operating.
5.
Electrode
Wire
-
The
electrode
wire
is
electrically
HOT
when
the
equipment power switch is in ON po
sition and the gun trigger is de
pressed.
Do
not
touch
electrode
wire
or
"live"
parts
of
wire
feeder.
6.
Service
and
Maintenance
-
Shut
OFF
all
power
at
the
disconnect
switch
or
line
breaker
before
in
specting or servicing the equipment.
Lock
switch
OPEN
(or
remove
line
fuses)
so
that
power
cannot
be
turned
ON
accidentally.
Disconnect
power to equipment if it is to be
left unattended or out of service.
7.
Replace
fuses
with
equivalent
sizes.
D. BURN PREVENTION
The welding arc is very bright and
hot.
Sparks
go
everywhere,
weld
ments
are
hot,
and
ultraviolet
and
infrared
radiation
is
present.
These arc rays penetrate lightweight
clothing
and
are
reflected
from
light-colored
surfaces.
The
arc
rays can injure the eyes permanently
and burn the skin, just as in too
much
sunburn.
Never
look
at
an
electric
arc
without
eye
protec
tion.
Be
sure
that
there
is
suf
ficient
distance
between
personnel
welding
so
sparks
will
not
strike
other personnel in the area.
1.
Protective
Clothing
-
Wear
dry
gloves,
jackets
or
sleeves,
and
aprons
of
chrome
leather,
safety
shoes,
welding
helmet,
and
other
articles
needed
to
shield
the
skin
and
to
prevent
injury
from
arc
burns.
Wear
ear
plugs
if
welding
overhead
or
in
a
confined
space.
Wear a hard hat if others are work
ing above you.
2. Eye and Head Protection - Protect
your
eyes
and
head
by
wearing
a
welding helmet fitted with a double
lens; use a clear lens outside and a
colored,
arc-ray
lens
inside
as
shown on following page.
