V4.1
3. Keep the welding power source and cables as far away from the user as practical. A minimum of 24 in. is
recommended.
4. Connect the workpiece clamp as close to the weld as possible, but lay the electrode and workpiece cables away from
the user.
5. Avoid long and regular bursts of energy while welding. Apply the electrode in short strokes and intermittently. This
will prevent the pacemaker from interpreting the signal as a rapid heartbeat.
6. Do not allow the electrode to touch the metal while welding.
7. Wrap torch and ground cable together whenever possible.
8. Keep torch and ground cables on the same side of your body.
POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS
This equipment requires a dedicated 230 volt, 35 amp single-phase alternating current circuit equipped with a similarly
rated circuit breaker or slow blow fuse. Do not run other appliances, lights, tools or equipment on the circuit while
operating this welding unit.
1. Do not use a power tool with a broken or inoperative trigger/power switch or safety guard.
2. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the tool to the power supply.
3. Do not drape or carry coiled welding cables on your body when the cables are plugged into the welding unit.
4. Do not start the tool when the welding wire is touching the workpiece.
5. Always use both hands when operating the tool, unless the tool is designed for single hand use.
6. Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where it may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a 'live' wire will electrify exposed metal parts and shock the operator.
7. Do not allow the tool's motor to overload and/or overheat by taking work breaks.
8. When the tool is in operation, keep hands away from the welding wire and the area it is being applied to.
9. Do not connect the welding unit ground clamp to an electrical conduit. Do not weld on an electrical conduit.
10. Do not use the tool on any material containing asbestos.
11. Do not touch the welding wire or welded surface immediately after use. The surface will be hot and may cause an
injury.
12. Do not allow persons who are not familiar with the tool or have not read these instructions to use the tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing parts/accessories or when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces. There is an increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the ON/OFF switch on the tool. This will prevent an accidental
startup when the power cord is plugged into the power supply.
a. In the event of a power failure, turn off the machine as soon as the power is interrupted. The possibility of
accidental injury could occur if the power returns and the unit is not switched off.
5. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and accessories are designed with built-in safety features
that may be compromised if altered.
6. Make certain the power source conforms to requirements of your equipment (see Specifications).
7. When wiring an electrically driven device, follow all electrical and safety codes, as well as the most recent Canadian
Electrical Code (CE) and Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
8. This device is only for use on 230 V (single phase) and is equipped with a 3-prong grounded power supply cord and
plug.
a. DO NOT remove the ground prong from the plug. This will render the tool unsafe.
9. DO NOT use this device with a 2-prong wall receptacle.
a. Choose an available 3-prong power outlet.
b. Replace 2 prong outlet with a grounded 3-prong receptacle, installed in accordance with the CE Code and local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
