1-4. California Proposition 65 Warnings

Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after use.

1-5. Principal Safety Standards

For Gasoline Engines:

Engine exhaust contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc- tive harm.

For Diesel Engines:

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

1-6. EMF Information

Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric and magnetic fields (EMF). Welding current creates an EMF field around the welding circuit and welding equipment. EMF fields may interfere with some medical implants, e.g. pacemakers. Protective measures for per- sons wearing medical implants have to be taken. For example, access restrictions for passers by or individual risk assessment for welders. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize expos- ure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

1.Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a cable cover.

2.Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.

3.Do not coil or drape cables around your body.

4.Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the weld- ing circuit as possible.

5.Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible.

6.Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.

7.Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire feeder.

About Implanted Medical Devices:

Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recom- mended.
