operations on metals that are

galvanized or cadmium plated, or

contain zinc, mercury, or beryllium

without completing the following

precautions:

a.Remove the coating from the

base metal.

b.Make sure that the welding area

is well ventilated.

c. Use an air-supplied respirator.

Extremely toxic fumes are created

when these metals are heated.

The

electro-

magnetic field that is

generated during arc

welding may interfere with

the operation of various electrical and

electronic devices such as cardiac

pacemakers. Persons using such devices

should consult with their physician

prior to performing any electric arc

welding operations.

● Route the electrode and work

cables together and secure with

tape when possible.

● Never wrap arc welder cables

around the body.

●Always position the electrode and

ground leads so that they are on

the same side of the body.

●Exposure to electromagnetic fields

during welding may have other

health effects which are not known.

Always be sure

that the welding

area is secure and free of hazards

(sparks, flames, glowing metal or slag)

prior to leaving. Be sure that

equipment is turned off and electrode

is removed. Be sure that cables are

loosely coiled and out of the way. Be

sure that all metal and slag has cooled.

WARNING

●Never use an electric arc welder to

thaw frozen pipes.

Flying

sparks

and hot metal can cause

injury. As welds cool, slag

can be thrown off. Take all precautions

described in this manual to reduce the

possibility of injury from flying sparks

and hot metal.

●Wear ANSI approved face shield or

safety glasses with side shield

protection when chipping or

grinding metal parts.

●Wear ear plugs when welding

overhead to prevent spatter or slag

from falling into ears.

Electric

arc

welding operations

produce intense light and

heat and ultraviolet (UV) rays. This

intense light and UV rays can cause

injury to eyes and skin. Take all

precautions described in this manual to

reduce the possibility of injury to eyes

and skin.

●All persons operating this

equipment or in the area while

equipment is in use must wear

protective welding gear including:

welding helmet or shield with

proper shade as specified in the

following chart, flame resistant

clothing, leather welding gloves,

and full foot protection.

Current Filter

Up To 160 Amps 10

160 To 250 Amps 12

Never look at arc

welding operations

without eye protection as described

above. Never use a shade filter lens

that is cracked, broken, or rated below

number 10. Warn others in the area not

to look at the arc.

Electric

arc

welding operations cause

sparks and heat metal to

temperatures that can cause

severe burns! Use protective gloves

and clothing when performing any

metal working operation. Take all

precautions described in this manual to

WARNING

Model WS2100

reduce the possibility of skin and

clothing burns.

●Make sure that all persons in the

welding area are protected from

heat, sparks, and ultraviolet rays.

Use additional face shields and

flame resistant barriers as needed.

●Never touch work pieces until

completely cooled.

Heat and

sparks

produced during electric arc

welding and other metal

working operations can

ignite flammable and

explosive materials! Take all precautions

described in this manual to reduce the

possibility of flames and explosions.

●Remove all flammable materials

within 35 feet (10.7 meters) of

welding arc. If removal is not

possible, tightly cover flammable

materials with fire proof covers.

●Do not operate any electric arc

welder in areas where flammable or

explosive vapors may be present.

Take precautions to be sure that

flying sparks and heat do not cause

flames in hidden areas, cracks,

behind bulkheads, etc.

Fire

hazard!

Do not weld on containers

or pipes that contain or have

contained flammable

materials or gaseous or liquid

combustibles.

Arc

welding

closed cylinders or

containers such as tanks or

drums can cause explosion if

not properly vented! Verify that any

cylinder or container to be welded has

an adequate ventilation hole, so that

expanding gases can be released.

Do not

breathe

fumes that are produced by

the arc welding operation.

These fumes are dangerous. If the

welding area cannot be adequately

ventilated, be sure to use an air-

supplied respirator.

●Keep the head and face out of the

welding fumes.

●Do not perform electric arc welding
