• 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.
