Safety Depends on You
Lincoln arc welding and cutting
equipment is designed and built with
safety in mind. However, your overall
safety can be increased by proper
installation ... and thoughtful opera-
tion on your part. DO NOT
INSTALL, OPERATE OR REPAIR
THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT
READING THIS MANUAL AND
THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
