Potential hazard that will result in serious injury or loss of life.
• Keep children or other personnel away from the work area while welding. Do
not allow children to handle the welder.
• Do not use the welder in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. Sparks
that are created during use may ignite gases.
• Do not operate the welder in humid, wet, or poorly ventilated areas.
• Use appropriate shield to prevent other personnel from being affected by
harmful rays.
• Always ensure that a fire extinguisher is available in adequate distance
within the welding environment.
• Do not repair or maintain the welder while the power is on.

•
welding on coated materials like galvanized, cadmium plated or contacting
zinc, mercury, or barium.
Risk of fire: Do not weld on containers or pipes that contain flammable,
•
gaseous, or liquid combustibles. Remove all flammable materials within 35
feet of the welding arc or tightly cover the flammabe materials with fireproof
