CYLINDERS can explode if
damaged.
Compressed gas cylinders contain gas under high
pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode.
Since gas cylinders are normally part of the weld-
ing process, be sure to treat them carefully.
� Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechani-
cal shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.
� Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary
support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping.
� Keep cylinders away from any welding, cutting, or other electrical
circuits.
� Never drape a welding or cutting torch over a gas cylinder.
� Never allow a welding electrode or cutting torch to touch any
cylinder.
� Never weld on a pressurized cylinder — explosion will result.
� Use only correct compressed gas cylinders, regulators, hoses,
and fittings designed for the specific application; maintain them
and associated parts in good condition.
� Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve. Do
not stand in front of or behind the regulator when opening the
valve.

Additional Symbols For Installation, Operation, And Maintenance
FIRE OR EXPLOSION hazard.
� Do not install or place unit on, over, or near com-
bustible surfaces.
� Do not install unit near flammables.
� Do not overload building wiring — be sure power
supply system is properly sized, rated, and protected to handle
this unit.
FALLING EQUIPMENT can injure.
� Use lifting eye to lift unit only, NOT running gear,
gas cylinders, or any other accessories.
� Use correct procedures and equipment of ad-
equate capacity to lift and support unit.
� If using lift forks to move unit, be sure forks are long enough to ex-
tend beyond opposite side of unit.
� Keep equipment (cables and cords) away from moving vehicles
when working from an aerial location.
� Follow the guidelines in the Applications Manual for the Revised
NIOSH Lifting Equation (Publication No. 94-110) when manually
lifting heavy parts or equipment.
OVERUSE can cause
OVERHEATING.
� Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.
� Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before start-
ing to weld again.
� Do not block or filter airflow to unit.
FLYING SPARKS can injure.
� Wear a face shield to protect eyes and face.
� Shape tungsten electrode only on grinder with
proper guards in a safe location wearing proper
face, hand, and body protection.
� Sparks can cause fires — keep flammables away.

� Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is in
use or connected for use.
� Use the proper equipment, correct procedures, and sufficient
number of persons to lift, move, and transport cylinders.
� Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders, asso-
ciated equipment, and Compressed Gas Association (CGA) publi-
cation P-1 listed in Safety Standards.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment can
damage hearing.
� Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
(EMF) can affect Implanted Medical
Devices.
� Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Med-
ical Devices should keep away.
� Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and
the device manufacturer before going near arc welding, spot weld-
ing, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.
STATIC (ESD) can damage PC
boards.
� Put on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling
boards or parts.
� Use proper static-proof bags and boxes to store,
move, or ship PC boards.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
� Keep away from moving parts.
� Keep away from pinch points such as drive rolls.
WELDING WIRE can injure.
� Do not press gun trigger until instructed to do so.
� Do not point gun toward any part of the body, other
people, or any metal when threading welding wire.
BATTERY EXPLOSION can injure.
� Do not use welder to charge batteries or jump start
vehicles unless the unit has a battery charging fea-
ture designed for this purpose.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
� Keep away from moving parts such as fans.
� Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed
and securely in place.
� Have only qualified persons remove doors, panels,
covers, or guards for maintenance and troubleshooting as
necessary.
� Reinstall doors, panels, covers, or guards when maintenance is
finished and before reconnecting input power.
