Check for damaged parts.
Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be
carefully
checked to determine that it would operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and
binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper
operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not
use the tool if any switch does not turn on and off properly.
Guard against electric shock.
Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerator enclosures.
Replacement parts and accessories.
When servicing,
use only identical replacement part. Use of any other parts
will void warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this welder. Approved accessories are available
from LONGEVITY.
Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs
. Read warning labels on prescriptions to
determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the
welder.
Maintenance.
For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified
technician.
Use proper size and type extension cord.
If an extension cord is required, it must be of the proper size and
type to supply the correct current to the welder without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and
catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the welder. This welder requires use of an extension cord of 20 amps
minimum capability up to 30 feet, with a wire size rated at 12 AWG. Longer extension cords require larger size
wire. If you are using the welder outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use, signified by “WA” on
the jacket. Performance of this welder may vary depending on condition in local line voltage. Extension cord
usage may also affect welder performance.
