10. Keep all panels and covers securely in place when
operating the welding unit.
11. Insulate the ground clamp when not connected to a
workpiece to prevent contact with any metal object.
12. Do not operate the welding unit if the electrode holder or
welding cable is wet. Do not immerse them in water. These
components and the welding unit must be completely dry
before attempting to use them.
13. Do not point the electrode holder at any body part of
yourself or at anyone else.
14. Do not use a welding unit to thaw frozen pipes.
15. Insulate yourself from the work and the ground using dry
insulation. Make certain that the insulation is large enough
to cover your full area of physical contact.
16. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
17. Remove the electrode from the holder when not in use.
18. When not welding, make certain that no part of the electrode
circuit is touching the workpiece or the ground. Accidental
contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
19. Maintain good ventilation of the louvers on this equipment.
Good ventilation is of critical importance for the normal
performance and service life of this equipment.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
Arc welding can produce sparks, hot slag or spatter, molten
metal drops and hot metal parts that can start fires.
1. Clear the floor and walls of an area of all combustible
and/or flammable materials up to 39 ft (12 metres) away
from the welding unit. Hot debris ejected during welding
can land at a considerable distance away. Solid floors of
concrete or masonry is the preferred working surface.
