matter, the work, or the project and has received safety train-
ing to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.
During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.
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 infor-
mation on arc welding hazards. Also read American National
Standard Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Pro-
cesses, from American Welding Society (www.aws.org).
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
Read and follow all labels and the Owner’s
Manual carefully before installing, operating, or
servicing unit. Read the safety information at
the beginning of the manual and in each
section.
Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.
Perform installation, maintenance, and service according to the
Owner’s Manuals, industry standards, and national, state, and
local codes.
Do not repair, modify, or disassemble the training system or use
with parts or accessories not supplied by the manufacturer. Use
only approved components and accessories from the

Be sure all hardware is properly tightened.
Do not use the training system until you are sure it is correctly
assembled and working properly.
Before each use, inspect the training system for damage and
verify it is secure and installed properly.
Use the training system only as specified in the manual.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks
or severe burns.

Disconnect input power before installing or
servicing this equipment.
Do not touch grounded surfaces when using
this equipment (metal pipes, enclosures,
structures, etc.).
Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and pro-
tected from hot metal and sparks.
Frequently inspect input power cord and ground conductor for
damage or bare wiring – replace immediately if damaged – bare
wiring can kill.

Society (www.aws.org).
FIRE OR EXPLOSION hazard.
Do not install or place unit on, over, or near
combustible surfaces.
Do not install unit near flammables.
Use the training system only for the recommended application
or the protection provided by the equipment can be impaired. Do
not use the training system table for non-welding operations,
such as painting, sawing wood, or any activity that could produce
flammable materials.
