WELDING MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
Warning: Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Electric shock can kill.
Electric arc welders can produce a shock that can cause injury or death. Touching electrically live parts
can cause fatal shocks and severe burn. While welding, all metal components connected to the wise
are electrically live. Poor ground connections are a hazard, so secure the ground lead before welding.
●
Wear dry protective apparel: coat, shirt, gloves and insulated footwear.
●
Insulate yourself from the workpiece. Avoid contacting the workpiece or ground.
●
Do not attempt to repair or maintain the welder while the power is on.
● Inspect all cables and cords for any exposed wire and replace immediately if found.
● Use only recommended replacement cables and cords.
● Always attach ground clamp to the workpiece or worktable as close to the weld a
rea as possible.
●
Do not touch the welding wire and the ground or grounded work piece at the same time.
●
Do not use a welder to thaw frozen pipes.
● Turn off all equipment when
welder not in use.
Fumes can be dangerous.
Fumes emitted from the welding process displace clean air and can result in injury or death.
●
Do not breathe in fumes emitted by the welding process. Make sure your breathing air is clean
safe.
●
Work only in a well
- ventilated area or use a ventilation device to remove welding fumes from
environment where you will be working.
●
Do not weld on coated materials (galvanized, cadmium plated or containing zinc, mercury or barium).
They will emit harmful fumes that are dangerous to breathe. If necessary use a ventilator, respirator
with air supply or remove the coating from the material in the weld area.
●
The fumes emitted from some metals when heated are extremely toxic. Refer to the material
data sheet for the manufacturer’s instructions.
●
Do not weld near materials that wil l emit toxic fumes when heated. Vapors from cleaners, sprays
and degreasers can be highly toxic when heated.
Arc rays can burn eyes and skin.
The welding arc produces ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays that can cause injury to your eyes and
skin. Do not look at the welding arc without proper eye protection.
● Always use a helmet that covers your full face from the neck to top of head and to the back of
each
ear.
