Welding Safety Instructions
& Warnings
WARNING!
Protect yourself and others from possible serious
injury or death. Keep children away. Read the
operating/Instruction manual before installing,
operating or servicing this equipment. Have all
installation, operation, maintenance, and
repair work performed by qualified people.
If an operator does not strictly observe all safety
rules and take precautionary actions, welding
products and welding processes can cause serious
injury or death, or damage to other equipment or
property.
Safe practices have developed from past experience
in the use of welding and cutting. These practices
must be learned through study and training before
using this equipment. Some of these practices
apply to equipment connected to power lines;
other practices apply to engine driven equipment.
Anyone not having extensive training in welding
and cutting practices should not attempt to weld.
Safe practices are outlined in the European
Standard EN60974-1 entitled: Safety in welding
and allied processes.
WARNING!
Only use safety equipment that has been
approved by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye and breathing
protection must be AS/NZS compliant for the
specific hazards in the work area.

DANGER!
Always wear AS/NZS compliant safety glasses
and full face shield fitted with appropriate filter
shade number. (Refer Filter Table on page 17.)
CAUTION!
Heavy-duty work gloves, non-skid safety shoes
and hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
CAUTION!
Have the equipment serviced by a qualified
repair person using identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Personal Safety
CAUTION!
Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is
adequate space surrounding the work area.
Always keep the work area free of obstructions,
grease,oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use
equipment in areas near flammable chemicals,
dust, and vapours. Do not use this product in a
damp or wet location.
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating equipment. Do
not use a tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of distraction when operating
equipment may result in serious personal
injury.
2. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
Arc Rays can Burn Eyes and Skin
CAUTION!
Arc rays from the welding process produce
intense heat and strong ultraviolet rays that can
burn eyes and skin.
1. Use a Welding Helmet or Welding Face Shield
fitted with a proper shade filter (refer AS
60974-1, AS/NZS 1337.1 and AS/NZS 1338.1
Safety Standards) to protect your face and
eyes when welding or watching. (See Filter
Table on Page17).
2. Wear approved safety glasses. Side shields are
recommended.
