Safety Precautions
WARNING
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read all operating and maintenance manuals supplied with your machine. They include important safety precautions, detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions, and parts lists.
Hazards of Electric Shock, Engine Exhaust & Moving Parts
LOCATION AND VENTILATION
Whenever you use the Weldanpower® 125, be sure that clean cooling air can flow around the machine’s gasoline engine and the generator. Avoid dusty, dirty areas. Also, keep the machine away from heat sources. Do not place the back end of the generator anywhere near hot engine exhaust from another machine. And of course, make sure that engine exhaust is ventilated to an open, outside area.
The Weldanpower 125 must be used outdoors. Do not set the machine in puddles or otherwise submerge it in water. Such practices pose safety hazards and cause improper operation and corrosion of parts.
Always operate the Weldanpower 125 with the case roof on and all machine components completely assembled. This will help to protect you from the dangers of moving parts, hot metal surfaces, and live electrical devices.

• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.
•Insulate yourself from work and ground.
•Always wear dry insulating gloves.
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.
