1.3 Use of Your Welder Do not operate the welder if the output cable, electrode, torch, wire or wire feed system is wet. Do not immerse them in water. These components and the welder must be completely dry before attempting to use them. -Follow the instructions in this manual. -Keep welder in the off position when not in use. -Connect ground lead as close to the area being welded as possible to ensure a good ground.
Fumes and Gases -Fumes emitted from the welding process displace clean air and can result in injury or death. -Do not breathe in fumes emitted by the welding process. Make sure your breathing air is clean and safe. -Work only in a well-ventilated area or use a ventilation device to remove welding fumes from the environment where you will be working. -Do not weld on coated materials (galvanized, cadmium plated or containing zinc, mercury or barium). They will emit harmful fumes that are dangerous to breathe.
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 MIG gun nozzle after welding until it has had time to cool down. Sparks/Flying Debris Welding creates hot sparks that can cause injury. Chipping slag off welds creates flying debris. -Wear protective apparel at all times: ANSI-approved safety glasses or shield, welder’s hat and ear plugs to keep sparks out of ears and hair.
