Lincoln Electric WF 56D Operator's Manual page 6

WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Remove fire hazards from the welding area
and have a fire extinguisher easily accessible. 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 use this equipment when flammable gases, vapors or flammable
liquids 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 certificate, 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.
MOVING PARTS ARE DANGEROUS: There are moving mechanical parts in this machine, which can
cause serious injury. Keep your hands, body and clothing away from those parts during machine
starting, operating and servicing.
SAFETY MARK: This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding operations carried out in
an environment with increased risk of electric shock.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and/or improvements in design without upgrade at the same time
