  • Page 8 Safety Warnings, Dangers, Cautions and Instructions DANGER! Welding and cutting operations pose serious inhalation hazards. Some of these hazards are immediate while others are cumulative in their effect. Do not weld in enclosed spaces or in areas without adequate ventilation. Fumes and gases released in the welding and cutting operations can be toxic.
  • Page 9 Safety Warnings, Dangers, Cautions and Instructions CAUTION! Trip Hazards exist around this unit. Cords, cables, welding leads and hoses pose a trip hazard. Be aware of their location and inform others of their location. Tape and secure them so they will stay out of high traffic areas. CAUTION! Welded metal can stay hot long after welding is completed.
