• Do not exceed the equipment’s rated capacity.
• Use only correct fuses or circuit breakers. Do not oversize or bypass them.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. Incorrectly installed or improperly
grounded equipment is a hazard. Do not operate weld head in a wet/damp environment.
• Care should be taken not to short across the positive and negative terminals. At full power, the
weld current carries thousands of amps and is dangerous if the terminals are
accidentally bridged.
• All welds are performed at low voltage for increased safety of operation.
• Do not wear metal jewelry when welding. The terminals are safe to touch without
fear of arcing as long as no metal is on your hands.
• When altering or maintaining any part of the welding path (such as swapping electrodes or cables),
turn the unit off.
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
• Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
• Properly install and ground this equipment. (Refer to the grounding codes and specifications of the
area you live in)
• Do not weld with wet hands or wet clothing.
• Always verify the supply ground – check and be sure that the input power cord ground wire is
properly connected to a ground terminal in the disconnect box or that the input power cord plug is
connected to a properly grounded receptacle outlet. Do not remove or bypass the ground prong.
• Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks.
• Frequently inspect the input power cord and ground conductor for damage or bare wiring – replace
immediately if damaged – bare wiring can kill. Check ground conductor for continuity.
• Turn off all equipment when not in use.
• Use only well-maintained equipment and repair or replace damaged parts at once.
