ALWAYS wear protective goggles.
Directly looking at surface flash and expulsion during welding can temporary
impair vision. Welding spatter can cause permanent eye damage, including
blindness.
DO NOT splash water.
Electrical parts may cause an electric shock or short circuit if they become wet.
Keep the area clear of flammable objects.
Surface flash and expulsion generated during welding may ignite flammable
objects, resulting in a fire. If work involves use of flammable items, place a
non-flammable cover over such items.
DO NOT cover the instrument with a blanket or cloth.
During operation, do not cover the instrument with a blanket or cloth. This may
lead to the instrument overheating and catching fire.
Wipe off dust from the power plug and securely insert it all the way.
Dust or improper insertion may lead to the plug heat up and catch fire.
Install the instrument on a firm and level surface.
Injury may result if the equipment falls or is dropped.
Do not sit on or place objects on the instrument.
Failure to observe this precaution may lead to malfunction.
Hold the power plug when removing or inserting it.
Removing the power plug by pulling on the cable may damage the power cable,
resulting in an electric shock or causing the cable to catch fire.
If you do not use the instrument for extended periods, remove the power
plug from the outlet.
Failure to do so may deteriorate the insulation, resulting in an electric shock,
current leakage or fire.
Provide fire extinguishers.
Provide fire extinguishers at the welding site as a precautionary measure.
Perform maintenance and inspection on a regular basis.
Perform maintenance and inspection regularly and repair damaged areas and
parts before using the instrument.
Wear soundproof earmuffs.
Loud noise may impair hearing.
