Safety Precautions - Read Before Using

Overview

Protect yourself and others from injury — read and follow these precautions.

Caution Recommendations

CAUTION: Welding and arc cutting
can cause bodily injury.
• Do NOT switch off the machine while machine is
in operation or internal circuitry can be damaged.

Avoiding Fatal Electric Shock

• Isolate yourself from both the
earth and the work piece.
Avoiding Harmful Smoke, Gases, and Vapors that can injure or kill.
Welding produces fumes and gases.
Breathing these fumes and gases can
be hazardous to your health.
Avoiding Harmful Arc Emissions/Rays that can burn eyes and skin.
Arc rays from the welding process
produce intense visible and invisible
rays that can burn eyes and skin.
Sparks fly off from the weld.
• Wear appropriate clothing and a welding or
cutting mask to protect your eyes and skin.
Avoiding Harmful Noises that can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes can
damage hearing.
• Connect the machine to a UL-approved outlet
only. Do not hard wire the machine directly to the
power source.
• Wear safety goggles at all times. This will darken
the arc that is generated by the machine and
protect your eyes from harmful rays.
• All machine operators should be technically
certified for welding/cutting.
• Make sure that your working area is nonflammable
and explosive-free.
• Keep your head away from any smoke, gases,
or vapots.
• Make sure that gases are flowing away from
you to avoid breathing in the gases.
• Use appropriate screen or curtain to prevent
emissions from reaching individuals near the
work area.
• Ensure that your working area contains no
flammable items and that none are nearby.
Caution: Welding and cutting spray can ignite.
• Wear protective earplugs while operating
machine.
