20.Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the tool. This tool requires use of an extension cord of 20 amps minimum capability (up to 30 feet), with wire size rated at 10 AWG. Longer extension cords require larger size wire. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the jacket).

Note: Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage. Exten- sion cord usage may also affect tool performance.

Warning:The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under- stood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Arc Welding Safety Warnings and Precautions

Warning:This product, when used for welding and similar applications, produces chemi- cals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other repro- ductive harm). California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.

1.Avoid electrical shock. Do not permit electrically live parts, cables, or electrodes to contact skin, clothing, or gloves. Protective clothing should be hole-free, dry, and ANSI approved.

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 screw heads, and that all insulation is secure. Do not weld unless you are insulated from ground and the work piece.

2.Avoid breathing fumes or gases. They can cause serious health problems. Use an active ventilation system directly above the welding area. Keep your head out of the fumes.
