ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill. D Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays D Always ventilate confined spaces or use that can burn eyes and skin.
1-3. Additional Symbols For Installation, Operation, And Maintenance FIRE OR EXPLOSION hazard. MOVING PARTS can cause injury. D Do not install or place unit on, over, or near D Keep away from moving parts such as fans. combustible surfaces. D Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards D Do not install unit near flammables.
1-5. EMF Information Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency 1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them. Electric And Magnetic Fields 2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator. Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro- magnetic fields.

2-5. Selecting Cable Sizes Y ARC WELDING can cause Electromagnetic Interference. To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor. Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment. Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual.

3-2. Overload Protection Control Box Power Circuit Breaker (230/460 Volt Models); Location Of 3-Phase Fuse Block (460/575 Volt Models) Each Power circuit breaker or fuse block protects the welding power source connected to it from overload. In 230/460 volt models, if a Power circuit breaker opens, the matching welding power source shuts down.
