REV 07i Safety Warnings and Precautions for Arc Welding Warning! Arc Welding Can be Hazardous. It is your responsibility to operate this equipment in a safe manner. Fire or Explosion Precautions Arc welding creates heat and sparks. These can cause fire or explosion. Please follow these safety considerations while using your spot welder. Be aware of flying sparks. Only weld in an area that does not contain any materials which can be ignited by flying sparks. Extinguish any significant flying sparks before continuing to weld. Protect yourself and others around you from burns which can be caused by flying sparks. Never weld in an area which contains materials which can be ignited by flying sparks. Be sure that you have a fire extinguisher nearby before using this welder. Never weld enclosed containers. Sparks in an enclosed container can trigger an explosion. Never weld in an atmosphere which might contain flammable fumes. Periodically during welding, and after completion of job, inspect your area for any ignition that might have been caused by flying sparks. Electric Shock Hazard Precautions Be aware that your arc welder operates through high resistance electrical current. Exposure to this current can cause injury or death. Please use safety precautions against electrical shock while using your welder. Always unplug your welder prior to making any adjustments or repairs. Never leave your welder unattended while plugged in. Never use your welder in a wet environment, or while you are wet or on a wet surface. Always wear electrical insulating clothing, gloves and shoes while using your welder. Never use an extension cord which is not properly approved and rated for this equipment. Assure that you are drawing from an electrical supply which is protected by a 30 Amp fuse or breaker switch. REV 07i Personal Safety Precautions Flying Sparks can cause injury, and Hot Materials can cause burns. Please wear appropriate safety clothing, and observe precautions to prevent burns or injury to yourself or others. Wear ANSI approved safety goggles or glasses when using this equipment. Wear protective clothing such as heavy gloves, apron, boots, mask or hood. Do not look directly into the welding arc without appropriate protective eyeshields. Do not allow others to look directly into the arc without appropriate eye protection. Wear protective gloves while welding. Welding causes the metal to become very hot, which can cause burns. Do not touch welded areas until you are certain they have cooled. Assure that hot welded materials are not placed where others can touch them, or they can cause a fire. The electrode, and especially the welding rods become very hot during welding. Exercise extreme caution to prevent burns to yourself or others from these areas. Inhalation HazardWelding/Plasma Cutting Produces toxic fumes and gasses. Exposure to welding or cutting gasses can increase the risk of developing certain cancers, such as cancer of the larynx and lung cancer. Also, some diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding or plasma cutting gasses or fumes are: • Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease • Heart Disease• Damage to the reproductive organs • Ulcers• Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach • Kidney damage• Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis or pneumoniaSafety precautions, such as using natural or forced air ventilation and wearing an ANSI approved respirator, are essential to reduce the risk of developing the above illnesses.
