Lincoln Electric SQUARE WAVE IM607, Operator'S Manual

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

areas or 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 before refuel-
ing to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on
contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do
not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled,
wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes
have been 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
when starting, 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
the engine is running.

___________________________________________________

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
magneto wire as appropriate.

ELECTRIC AND 
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 
welding machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and

welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health

effects which 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

them with 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

work cables. 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

possible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the

radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot.

For Diesel Engines: Diesel engine exhaust and
some of its constituents are known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and
other reproductive harm.

For Gasoline Engines: The engine exhaust from
this product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm.
