Electrical Safety

10.Do not exceed input amperage of 50 Amps.

11.The warnings, precautions, and in structions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible con ditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

1.Avoid electrical shock. Do not per mit electrically live parts, cables, or electrodes to contact skin, clothing, or gloves. Wear ANSI-approved protec tive clothing. This unit draws enough current to cause serious injury or death. Before turning the welder on, check the electrode holder to be sure that there are no protruding screws, and that all insulation is secure. Do not weld unless you are insulated from ground and the work piece.

2.Avoid eye and body damage. Arc rays and infrared radiation can injure eyes and burn skin. Wear ANSI ap proved eye and body protection. Do not allow viewing by visitors without proper eye and body protection. Use a welding helmet with #11 lens and arc shaded filter plate.

3.Prevent accidental fires. Remove any combustible material from the work area. Move flammable and explosive material at

least 35 feet from the welding arc to prevent welding sparks or molten metal from starting a fire. Keep a type ABC fire extinguisher within easy

reach. Thoroughly clean the object being welded of any paint, grease, or other foreign material.

4.If working on a wall or ceiling prevent ignition of combustibles on the other side by moving them to a safe loca tion.

5.Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines. Follow OSHA guidelines for Permissible Exposure

Limits (PEL’s) for various fumes and gases.

6.Prevent eye

injury and burns. Wearing and using ANSI-approved

personal safety clothing and safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
