1. Avoid electrical shock. Do not permit electrically live parts, cables, or electrodes to

contact skin, clothing, or gloves. Protective clothing should be free of holes, 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.

21. Pacemaker safety warning. People with pacemakers should consult with their

physician(s) before using this product; operation of equipment in close proximity to a

heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

22. Use tools with both hands when required. Many tools such as chain saws, drills,

routers, and welders, etc., require the use of both hands when operating. This helps

maintain tool stability and keeps hands away from the working area of the tool.

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.
