Lincoln Electric SAF-FRO PRESTOMIG 185MP Operator's Manual page 9

WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Remove fire hazards from the welding area
and have a fire extinguisher readily available. Welding sparks and hot materials from the welding process
can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Do not weld on any tanks, drums,
containers, or material until the proper steps have been taken to insure that no flammable or toxic vapors
will be present. Never operate this equipment when flammable gases, vapors or liquid combustibles are
present.
WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN: Welding generates a large amount of heat. Hot surfaces and
materials in work area can cause serious burns. Use gloves and pliers when touching or moving materials
in the work area.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED: Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct
shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure
used. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to a fixed support. Do not move or
transport gas cylinders with the protection cap removed. Do not allow the electrode, electrode holder,
work clamp or any other electrically live part to touch a gas cylinder. Gas cylinders must be located away
from areas where they may be subjected to physical damage or the welding process including sparks and
heat sources.
SAFETY MARK: This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding operations carried out in an
environment with increased hazard of electric shock.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and/or improvements in design without upgrade at the same time the
