WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION:
Remove fire hazards from the welding area and have a fire
extinguisher readily available. Welding sparks and hot
materials from the welding process can easily go through
small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Do not weld on
any tanks, drums, containers, or material until the proper steps
have been taken to insure that no flammable or toxic vapors
will be present. Never operate this equipment when
flammable gases, vapors or liquid combustibles are present.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS: Welding may
produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid
breathing these fumes and gases. To avoid these dangers the
operator must use enough ventilation or exhaust to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.
ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Turn off input
power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before
working on this equipment. Ground this equipment in
accordance with local electrical regulations.
ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Regularly inspect
the input, electrode, and work clamp cables. If any insulation
damage exists replace the cable immediately. Do not place
the electrode holder directly on the welding table or any other
surface in contact with the work clamp to avoid the risk of
accidental arc ignition.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE DANGEROUS:
Electric current flowing through any conductor creates electric
and magnetic fields (EMF). EMF fields may interfere with
some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker shall
consult their physician before operating this equipment.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED: Use only
compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas
for the process used and properly operating regulators
designed for the gas and pressure used. Always keep
cylinders in an upright position securely chained to a fixed
support. Do not move or transport gas cylinders with the
protection cap removed. Do not allow the electrode, electrode
holder, work clamp or any other electrically live part to touch a
gas cylinder. Gas cylinders must be located away from areas
where they may be subjected to physical damage or the
welding process including sparks and heat sources.
WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN: Welding generates a
large amount of heat. Hot surfaces and materials in work area
can cause serious burns. Use gloves and pliers when
touching or moving materials in the work area.
CE COMPLIANCE: This equipment complies with the
European Community Directives.
