manual abstract
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock. • Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented – it prevents sustained electrical shock. WARNING: The brass components 7. of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (California Health & Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.) Some dust created by power sand8. ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • Lead from lead-based paints • Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products • Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.) WARNING: Handling the cord on 9. this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.) Do not exceed input amperage of 50 10. Amps. The warnings, precautions, and in11. structions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator. Electrical Safety Avoid electrical shock. Do not per1. mit electrically live parts, cables, or electrodes to contact skin, clothing, or gloves. Wear ANSI-approved protective clothing. This unit draws enough current to cause serious injury or death. Before turning the welder on, check the electrode holder to be sure that there are no protruding screws, and that all insulation is secure. Do not weld unless you are insulated from ground and the work piece. Avoid eye and body damage. Arc 2. rays and infrared radiation can injure eyes and burn skin. Wear ANSI approved eye and body protection. Do not allow viewing by visitors without proper eye and body protection. Use a welding helmet with #11 lens and arc shaded filter plate. 3. Prevent accidental fires. Remove any combustible material from the work area. Move flammable and explosive material at least 35 feet from the welding arc to prevent welding sparks or molten metal from starting a fire. Keep a type ABC fire extinguisher within easy reach. Thoroughly clean the object being welded of any paint, grease, or other foreign material. If working on a wall or ceiling prevent 4. ignition of combustibles on the other side by moving them to a safe location. Industrial applications must follow 5. OSHA guidelines. Follow OSHA guidelines for Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL’s) for various fumes and gases. 6. Prevent eye injury and burns. Wearing and using ANSI-approved personal safety clothing and safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Leather leggings, fire resistant shoes 7. or boots should be worn when using this product. Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or any clothing that can catch and hold molten metal or sparks. Keep clothing and work surfaces free 8. of grease, oil, solvents, or any flammable substances. Wear dry, insulating gloves and protective clothing. Wear an approved head covering 9. to protect the head and neck. Use aprons, cape, sleeves, shoulder covers, and bibs designed and approved for welding and cutting procedures. When welding/cutting overhead or in 10. confined spaces, wear flame resistant ear plugs or ear muffs to keep sparks out of ears. Do not use near degreasing or paint11. ing operations. Enclose the work area with portable 12. fire resistant screens. Protect combustible walls, ceilings, floors, etc., from sparks and heat with fire resistant covers. Use a non-conductive safety mat on 13. the work surface to insulate the operator from the work surface. Read the manual for the ARC welder 14. that the Stitch Welder will be connected to. Vibration Safety This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury: Anyone using vibrating tools regu1. larly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check- ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If ...
