WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work
circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and machine internal
circuits are also live when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the wire,
wire reel, drive roll housing, and all metal parts touching the welding wire are electrically live.
Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is a hazard.
1. Do not touch live electrical parts.
2. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
3. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats or covers.
4. Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or servicing this equipment. Lock input power
disconnect switch open, or remove line fuses so power cannot be turned on accidentally.
5. Properly install and ground this equipment according to its Owner’s Manual and national, state, and local
codes.
6. Turn off all equipment when not in use. Disconnect power to equipment if it will be left unattended or out
of service.
7. Use fully insulated electrode holders. Never dip holder in water to cool it or lay it down on the ground or
the work surface. Do not touch holders connected to two welding machines at the same time or touch
other people with the holder or electrode.
8. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.
9. Do not wrap cables around your body.
10. Ground the workpiece to a good electrical (earth) ground.
11. Do not touch electrode while in contact with the work (ground) circuit.
12. Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged parts at once.
13. In confined spaces or damp locations, do not use a welder with AC output unless it is equipped with a
voltage reducer. Use equipment with DC output.
14. Wear a safety harness to prevent falling if working above floor level.
15. Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
WARNING
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin; NOISE can damage hearing.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense heat and strong ultraviolet rays that can burn
eyes and skin. Noise from some processes can damage hearing.
1. Use a Welding Helmet or Welding Faceshield fitted with a proper shade of filter (see ANSI Z49.1 and AS
1674 listed in Safety Standards) to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching.
2. Wear approved safety glasses. Side shields recommended.
3. Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare; warn others not to watch the
arc.
