32.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic fields in close prox- imity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemak- er failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should:
•Avoid operating alone.
•Do not use with power switch locked on.
•Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
•Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter- rupter (GFCI) should also be imple- mented – it prevents sustained elec- trical shock.
33.A GFCI may provide protection from the “wall to the welder”, but a GFCI will not protect you from faults be- tween the “welder and the work”. Because a GFCI cannot protect you from faults between the “welder and the work” using proper welding technique and personal protection equipment while welding is crucial. Ground the workpiece as well as the welder.

35.Turn off, unplug, and discharge elec- trodes after use and before service.
36.Do not attempt to cool the welding tip with fluids. Allow the tip to cool down gradually.
37.Secure cylinders upright to prevent them from falling. All cylinders should be used and stored in an upright po-
sition. Never drop or strike a cylinder. Do not use cylinders that have been dented. Cylinder caps should be used when moving or storing cylinders. Empty cylinders should be kept in specified areas and clearly marked “empty.”
38.Some dust created by power sand- ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of Cali- fornia] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from
•Crystalline silica from bricks and ce- ment or other masonry products
•Arsenic and chromium from chemi- cally treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures var- ies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
39.WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (Califor- nia Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
