Page 3: Electric Shock Can Kill
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands. - Page 4 WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

Page 13: User Responsibility
USER RESPONSIBILITY Because design, fabrication, erection and cutting vari- ables affect the results obtained in applying this type of information, the serviceability of a product or struc- ture is the responsibility of the user. Variation such as plate chemistry, plate surface condition (oil, scale), plate thickness, preheat, quench, gas type, gas flowrate and equipment may produce results different than those expected. -
Page 14: Cutting Capability
CUTTING CAPABILITY The PRO-CUT 25 is rated at 25 amps, at 35% duty cycle on a 10 minute basis. If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off the output of the machine until it cools to the normal operating temperature. Figure B.1 shows the cut capacity of the PRO-CUT 25 when cutting mild steel. -
Page 15: Limitations
LIMITATIONS Do not exceed output current and duty cycle rating of machine. Do not use the PRO-CUT 25 for pipe thaw- ing. CONTROLS AND SETTINGS PRESSURE REGULATOR When preparing to cut, position the machine as close to the work as possible. Make sure you have all materials needed to complete the job and have taken all safety precautions. -
