Specific Safety Rules

1.Ground this product. This Welder requires the attachment and use of a UL-listed, 220 volt, grounded, 3-prong, electrical Power Cord Plug (not included). Only a quali- fied electrician should install the Power Cord Plug. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the Power Cord Plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with this product. To comply with the National Electric Code, and to provide additional protection from the risk of electrical shock, this product should only be connected to a 220 volt, 3-hole outlet that is properly grounded.

2.Maintain labels and nameplates on the Welder. These carry important informa- tion. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

3.Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning on the Welder.

4.Do not force the Welder. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed and capacity for which it was designed.

5.Never leave the Welder unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

6.Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.

7.Never stand on the Welder. Serious injury could result if the Welder is tipped or if hot surfaces are accidently contacted.

8.Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of ob- structions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.

9.Prevent eye injury and burns. Wearing and using ANSI-approved personal safety clothing and safety devices reduce the risk for injury.

Wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles with a welding helmet with protective lens.

Leather leggings, fire resistant shoes or boots should be worn when using this product. Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or any clothing that can catch and hold molten metal or sparks.

Keep clothing free of grease, oil, solvents, or any flammable substances. Wear dry, insulating gloves and protective clothing.

Wear an approved head covering to protect the head and neck. Use aprons, cape, sleeves, shoulder covers, and bibs designed and approved for welding and cut- ting procedures.

When welding/cutting overhead or in confined spaces, wear flame resistant ear plugs or ear muffs to keep sparks out of ears.
