SECTION 7 − OPERATION
Welding-related hazards are present when using the welding training system. Read the welding power source and wire feeder Owner’s
Manuals and labels carefully for more information on arc welding hazards. Also read American National Standard Z49.1, Safety in
Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes, from American Welding Society (www.aws.org). Operators must be trained on the proper use
of this equipment before using the equipment to train others.
See Section 12 for setup and operation instructions specific to the optional SMAW module. Unless specified, GMAW/FCAW and SMAW operation
are the same. Nothing is shown on the SmartGun display during SMAW welding. There is no SIM (Simulation) mode for SMAW welding.
