⚠CAUTION
Electromagnetic Field
 Electromagnetic fields can interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such as
pacemakers.
 Consult your doctor before using any electric arc welder or cutting device.
 Keep people with pacemakers away from your welding area when welding.
 Do not wrap cable around your body while welding.
 Wrap the torch and ground cable together whenever possible.
 Keep the torch and ground cables on the same side of your body.
H.F. RADIATION can cause interference!
 High-frequency (H.F.) can interfere with radio navigation, safety services, computers, and
communications equipment.
 Have only qualified persons familiar with electronic equipment perform this installation.
 The user is responsible for having a qualified electrician promptly correct any interference problem
resulting from the installation.
 If notified by the FCC about interference, stop using the equipment at once.
 Have the installation regularly checked and maintained.
 Keep high-frequency source doors and panels tightly shut, keep spark gaps at correct setting, and
use grounding and shielding to minimize the possibility of interference.
ARC welding can cause interference!
 Electromagnetic energy can interfere with sensitive electronic equipment such as computers and
computer-driven equipment such as robots.
 Be sure all equipment in the welding area is electromagnetically compatible.
 To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down
low, such as on the floor.
 Locate welding operation 100 yards from any sensitive electronic equipment.
 Be sure this welding machine is grounded.
 If interference still occurs, the user must take extra measures such as moving the welding
machine, using shielded cables, using line filters, or shielding the work area.
⚠WARNING
Shielding Gas Cylinders Can Explode
High pressure cylinders can explode if damaged; treat them carefully.
 Never expose cylinders to high heat, sparks, open flames, mechanical shocks or arcs.
 Do not touch the cylinder with the MIG gun.
 Do not weld on the cylinder.
