CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
DANGER
!
This product, when used for welding,
produces fumes or gases which contain
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause birth defects (or
other reproductive harm) and, in some
cases, cancer (California Health & Safety
Code Section 25249.5 et seq.).
WARNING
!
The power cord and other cables on
this product contain chemicals,
including lead, known to the State of
California to cause [cancer and] birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING
!
Do not breathe fumes that
are produced by the arc
welding operation. These
fumes are dangerous. If the
welding area cannot be adequately
ventilated, be sure to use an air-
supplied respirator.
G Keep the head and face out of the
welding fumes.
G Do not perform electric arc welding
operations on metals that are
galvanized or cadmium plated, or
contain zinc, mercury, or beryllium
without completing the following
precautions:
a. Remove the coating from the
base metal.
b. Make sure that the welding area
is well ventilated.
c. Use an air-supplied respirator.
Extremely toxic fumes are created
when these metals are heated.
WARNING
!
The electromagnetic field
that is generated during arc
welding may interfere with
the operation of various
electrical and electronic devices such as
cardiac pacemakers. Persons using such
devices should consult with their
physician prior to performing any
electric arc welding operations.
G Route the electrode and work
cables together and secure with
tape when possible.
G Never wrap arc welder cables
around the body.
G Always position the electrode and
work leads so that they are on the
same side of the body.
G Exposure to electromagnetic fields
during welding may have other
health effects which are not known.
Always be sure
WARNING
!
that the welding area
is secure and free of hazards (sparks, flames,
glowing metal or slag) prior to leaving. Be
sure that equipment is turned off and
electrode is removed. Be sure that cables
are loosely coiled and out of the way. Be
sure that all metal and slag has cooled.

Refer to the Material Safety Data
Sheets and the manufacturers
instructions for metals, electrodes,
coatings and cleaners.
Installation
Location
Selecting the proper location can
significantly increase performance,
reliability and life of the arc welder.
G For best results locate the welder in
an environment that is clean and
dry. Dust and dirt in the welder
retain moisture and increase wear
of moving parts.
3
Model WS0970 and WS0990
G Store electrodes in a clean, dry
location with low humidity to
preserve the flux coating.
G The receptacle used for the welder
must be properly grounded and the
welder must be the only load on the
power supply circuit. Refer to the
Circuit Amps chart on page 1 for
correct circuit capacity.
G The use of an extension cord is not
recommended for arc welding
machines. Extension cord use will
significantly degrade the
performance of the welder.
