•DO NOT attempt to repair the Arc Welder yourself. If the unit is not working properly, DO NOT use it until it has been repaired and inspected by a qualified technician.
ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
