SAFETY INFORMATION
To order parts and supplies: 800.345.1178 >> eastwood.com
• Improper use of an electric Welder can cause electric shock, injury and death!
Read all precautions described in the Welder Manual to reduce the possibility
of electric shock.
• Disconnect Welder from power supply before assembly, disassembly or
maintenance of the torch, contact tip and when installing or removing nozzles.
• Always wear dry, protective clothing and leather welding gloves and insulated
footwear. 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.
• Always operate the Welder in a clean, dry, well ventilated area. Do not operate
the Welder in humid, wet, rainy or poorly ventilated areas.
• The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically "hot" when the
Welder is on. Do not allow these "hot" parts to come in contact with your
bare skin or wet clothing.
• Separate yourself from the welding circuit by using insulating mats to prevent
contact from the work surface.
• Be sure that the work piece is properly supported and grounded prior to
beginning an electric welding operation.
• Always attach the ground clamp to the piece to be welded and as close to the
weld area as possible. This will give the least resistance and best weld.
WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE
FIRE OR EXPLOSION!
• Electric welding produces sparks which can be discharged considerable dis-
tances at high velocity igniting flammable or exploding vapors and materials.
DO NOT operate electric arc Welder in areas where flammable or explosive
vapors are present.
DO NOT use near combustible surfaces. Remove all flammable items from the
work area where welding sparks can reach (minimum of 35 feet).
• Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby while welding.
• Use welding blankets to protect painted and or flammable surfaces; rubber
weather-stripping, dash boards, engines, etc.
• Ensure power supply has properly rated wiring to handle power usage.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE
INJURY OR DEATH!
