12.Protect yourself from electric shock. Do not use outdoors. Insulate yourself from the workpiece and ground. Use nonflammable, dry insulating material if possible, or use dry rubber mats, dry wood or plywood, or other dry insulating material big enough to cover your full area of contact with the work or ground.
13.WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to, or failure of the pacemaker.
14.Use care not to touch the welding tip to grounded material whenever the unit is plugged in. This unit is what is referred to as a “hot tip” welder, meaning that current is available to the wire at all times that the power Switch (7a) is in the ON position. Electric shock, fire, or burns may happen if appropriate precautions are not taken.
15.Ensure that the unit is placed on a stable location before use. If this unit falls while plugged in, severe injury, electric shock, or fire may result.
16.WARNING! This product, when used for welding and similar applications, contains or produces a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects
(or other reproductive harm). (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
Grounding
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facil- ity before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools: Tools With Three Prong Plugs
1.Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong ground- ing plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See
Plug and Outlet.)
2.The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See
