SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

-5-

bare wiring. Replace worn or damaged cables immediately; bare wiring can kill. Call Duro Dyne Tech Service to 
replace damaged parts at once. Maintain this unit according to the manual provided.

**Do not use worn, damaged, undersized or poorly spliced cables.

**Do not drape cable over your body.

**If earth grounding of the work piece is required, use a separate cable.

**Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.

**Keep all panels and covers securely in place.

**Insulate work clamp when not connected to work piece to prevent contact with any metal object.

**Don’t connect multiple electrodes or work cables to a single weld output terminal.

Electric and Magnetic Fields may be dangerous. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes lo-
calized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding and cutting current creates EMF around welding cables 
and welding machines. Therefore:

**Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding. EMF may interfere with some 
pacemakers.

**Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.

**Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to EMF:
 

-Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure them with tape when possible.

-Never coil the work cable around your body.

-Connect the work cable to the work piece as close as possible to the area being welded.

-Keep welding power source and cables as far away from body as possible.

-Do not overload electrical wiring – be sure power supply system is properly sized, rated and protected 

to handle the unit.

*********************************************************************************************************
Protective clothing is suggested. Clothing will vary as to application, weld position and stud welding equipment 
being used; in all cases clothing should be fire resistant and sufficient to protect welding operator from weld 
splatter and material.

Keep hands, clothing, etc., away from the weld tip, chuck and all other parts in contact with them during 
the weld cycle.

Keep weld cable and connectors in good condition. 

Inspect periodically for broken insulation and/or electrical hazards.

Do not operate with worn or poorly connected cables. Inspect cables often for bare or exposed wires, broken 
insulation layers and/or loose connections. Replace all such connections before welding use.

Do not stand in water or on damp surfaces while welding. Avoid wearing wet or sweaty clothes. Do not weld 
in the rain.
