Thank you for choosing JEGS welder!
For important safety Information, please read this manual and
understand the contents before operating this unit.
Safety Information- Proper operation & forethought is critical to safe
operation.
Electric shock can cause injury or death！
 Improper use of an electric welder can cause electric shock, injury and death! Read all
precautions described in the Welder Manual to reduce the possibility of electric
shock.
 Disconnect welder from power supply before assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the torch,
contact tip or nozzles.
 Always wear dry, protective clothing, leather welding gloves and insulated footwear. Use suitable
clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin.
 If other persons or pets are in the area of welding, use welding screens to protect bystanders from
sparks.
 Always operate the welder in a clean, dry, well ventilated area. Do not operate the welder in humid,
wet, rainy or poorly ventilated areas.
 The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not allow
these “hot” parts to come in contact with your bare skin or wet clothing.
 Separate yourself from the welding circuit by using insulating mats to prevent contact from the work
surface.
 Be sure that the work piece is properly supported and grounded prior to beginning an electric welding
operation.
 Always attach the ground clamp to the piece to be welded and as close to the weld area as possible.
This will give the least resistance and best weld.
FUMES & WELDING GASES CAN BE A HEALTH HAZARD!
 Fumes and gasses released during welding can be hazardous. Do not breathe fumes
that are produced by the welding operation. Wear an OSHA-approved respirator
when welding.
 Always work in a properly ventilated area. Do not weld in confined spaces.
 Never weld coated materials including but not limited to: cadmium plated, galvanized, and lead based
paints.
 Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use.
