may leave a permanent dark area in the field of vision. Before welding whilst wearing contact lenses, seek advice from your optician. PROTECTION OF NEARBY PERSONNEL For production welding, a separate, well vented room or enclosed bay is best. In open areas, surround the operation with low reflective, non- combustible screens or panels. - Page 7 power source, control, work table and water circulator to the building earth. Conductors must be adequate to carry earth currents safely. Equipment made electrically LIVE by stray current may shock, possibly fatally. Do not EARTH to an electrical conduit or to a pipe carrying ANY gas or a flammable liquid such as oil or fuel.

Page 8: Preparation Of The Working Area
PREPARATION OF THE WORKING AREA The working area must be sufficiently spacious, not humid, and well-ventilated as to avoid any fumes which develop from the welding process and from incidental material adhering to the pieces to be welded (oils, paints, tars...) which may cause danger to the operator. - Page 9 17. NEVER allow the earth cable or torch hose to become wrapped around the operator or any person in the vicinity. A comprehensive range of CLARKE safety equipment for use when welding is available from your local dealer. Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent.

Page 19: Connecting The Gas Supply
CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY 2. Connect a bottled gas supply to the small tube at the back of the welder. MIG WELDING PRINCIPLES MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding allows you to fuse together two similar metals without altering the properties of the metal. A consumable wire electrode is continuously fed through the welding torch that is fitted with a concentric gas nozzle. -
Page 20: Operating The Welder
OPERATING THE WELDER PREPARING THE WORKPIECE The area being welded should be perfectly clean. Any coating, plating or corrosion must be removed, otherwise a good weld will be impossible to achieve. Attach the earth clamp to the workpiece as close to the point of weld as possible, without it being intrusive. -

increased. Therefore, once the ideal speed is achieved by fine tuning, it should not be necessary to adjust this control when the welding current is changed. NOTE: Listen to the sound made. An irregular crackling sound denotes too high a wire speed. Decrease the speed until a regular, strong buzzing sound is heard. -
