SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 

 

WARNING

 

 

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

 

 

• Only qualified personnel should perform

 

 

this installation.

 

 

• Only personnel that have read and under-

 

 

stood the POWER MIG Operating Manual

 

 

should install and operate this equipment.

 

 

• Machine must be plugged into a receptacle

 

 

which is grounded per any national, local

 

 

or other applicable electrical codes.

 

 

• The POWER MIG power switch is to be in

 

 

the OFF (“O”) position when installing

 

 

work cable and gun and when connecting

 

 

power cord to input power.

 

 

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

 

 

Locate the welder in a dry location where there is free

 

 

circulation of clean air into the louvers in the back and

 

 

out the front of the unit. A location that minimizes the

 

 

amount of smoke and dirt drawn into the rear louvers

 

 

reduces the chance of dirt accumulation that can

 

 

block air passages and cause overheating.

 

 

STACKING

 

 

POWER MIG (140, 180 MODELS) cannot be stacked.

 

 

TILTING

 

 

Each machine must be placed on a secure, level sur-

 

 

face, directly or on recommended cart. The machine

 

 

may topple over if this procedure is not followed.
