• Do not operate any electric arc welder in areas where flammable or explosive materials are present.
• Remove all flammable materials within 35 feet of the welding arc.
• Take precautions to ensure that flying sparks do not cause fires or explosions in hidden areas,
cracks, or areas you cannot see.
• Keep a fire extinguisher close in the case of fire.
• Wear garments that are oil-free with no pockets or cuffs that will collect sparks.
• Do not have on your person any items that are combustible, such as lighters or matches.
• Keep work lead connected as close to the weld area as possible to prevent any unknown,
unintended paths of electrical current from causing electrical shock and fire hazards.
• To prevent any unintended arcs, cut the wire back to ¼" stick out after welding.
⚠CAUTION
Hot Materials - Welded materials are hot and can cause severe burns if handled improperly.
• Do not touch welded materials with bare hands.
• Do not touch the torch nozzle after welding until it has had time to cool down.
⚠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.
