FOR ENGINE
powered equipment.
1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance
work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.
____________________________________________________
1.b.Operate engines in open, well-ventilated
areasor vent the engine exhaust fumes
outdoors.
____________________________________________________
1.c.Do not add the fuel near an open flame weld-
ing arc or when the engine is running. Stop
the engine and allow it to cool beforerefuel-
ing to preventspilled fuel from vaporizing on
contactwith hot engine parts and igniting. Do
notspill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled,
wipeit up and do not star t engine until fumes
havebeen eliminated.
____________________________________________________
1.d.Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in posi-
tion and in good repair.Keep hands,hair, clothing and tools
away from V-belts,gears, fans and all other moving parts
whenstar ting, operating or repairing equipment.
____________________________________________________
1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety
guards to perform required maintenance. Remove
guards only when necessary and replace them when the
maintenance requiring their removal is complete.
Always use the greatest care when working near moving
parts.
___________________________________________________
1.f.Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do
not attempt to override the governor or idler
by pushing on the throttle control rods while
theengine is r unning.
___________________________________________________
1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while
turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance
work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or
magnetowire as appropr iate.
ARC WELDING can be hazardous. PROTECT YOURSELFAND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING.
Readand understand the following safety highlights. For additional safety information, it is strongly recommendedthat you pur-
chase a copy of“Safety in Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding Society, P.O.Box 351040,
Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974.A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety”booklet E205 is available from the
Lincoln Electric Company,22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199.
BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURESARE
PERFORMED ONLYBY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
WARNING
Mar‘95
ELECTRICAND
MAGNETIC FIELDS
may be dangerous
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes
localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding
current creates EMF fields around welding cables and
weldingmachines
2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and
welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
beforewelding.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health
effectswhich are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1.
Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
themwith tape when possible.
2.d.2.Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
2.d.3.Do not place your body between the electrode and
workcables. If the electrode cable is on your right
side,the work cable should also be on your right side.
2.d.4.Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possibleto the area being welded.
2.d.5.Do not work next to welding power source.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the
radiatorpressure cap when the engine is
hot.
