• Do not overload your building’s electrical wiring – be sure the power distribution system is properly sized, rated,
and protected to handle this unit.
• Remove all flammable materials from the welding area. If this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved
covers.
• Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
• Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
• Watch for fire and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
• Do not weld where the atmosphere may contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapors.
• Remove any combustibles, such as butane lighters or matches, from your person before doing any welding.
• 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. e input power circuit and the internal circuits of the
Orion welder are live when the power switch is turned on. Additionally the internal capacitors remain charged for a period
of time after the Orion is turned off and/or power is disconnected. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment
is a hazard. is device was designed to operate indoors only. Do not operate welder in a wet/damp environment. Holding
the hand pieces connected to the front of the welder is okay and will not generate an electrical shock.
• Remove personal jewelry before welding (i.e. rings, watches, bracelets, etc).
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
• Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
• Properly install and ground this equipment according to this manual and national, state, and local codes.
• 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.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FLYING SPARKS AND ARC RAYS
It is essential for every person in the immediate work area to wear/utilize proper Personal Protection Equipment. Often
sparks fly off from the weld joint area; therefore, take the necessary precautions to avoid trapping a spark within your own
clothing. Also arc welding gives off infrared and UV rays that can burn the retinal tissues within the eyes and cause surface
burns to exposed skin, similar to a sun burn.
• e stereo microscope provides proper eye protection when pulse arc welding. No additional protection is
necessary.
• Wear protective garments such as oil-free, flame-resistant leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuff-less trousers, high
shoes, and a cap. Avoid synthetic fibers as they melt easily.
• Use an approved face shield or safety goggles with side shields when tack welding or when observing others
performing pulse arc and tack welds.
• Use a sunscreen of SPF 30 or high if welding for extended periods of time.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR HOT METAL
• Welding material that has a high thermal conductivity will cause metal to heat rapidly.
