7.
Remove any combustibles, such as butane lighters or matches, from your person before
doing any welding. Hot welding sparks may light the matches or ignite leaking lighter fuel.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use)
replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly,
you can suffer serious personal injury.
Welding produces sparks, molten slag, intense white light, plus infrared and ultraviolet light. A
cooling bead can eject chips or fragments of slag. Any of these can cause direct harm to the
eyes and skin of the welder or bystanders.
1.
Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a specific function. Do not
modify or alter this tool or use it for an unintended purpose.
2.
Arc welding requires the use a hand-held face shield or helmets with full face protection per
CSA standard Z94.3.1.
3.
Protect against reflected arc rays. The rays can reflect off a shiny surfaces behind the user,
into the helmet and off the filter lens into the eyes. Remove or cover any reflective surface
behind the user such as a glossy painted surface, aluminum, stainless steel or glass.
4. Welding produces sparks and molten slag. A cooling bead can eject chips or fragments of
slag. Any of these can cause direct harm to the eyes or skin of the user or bystanders.
5.
Erect protective screens or barriers to protect bystanders from the flash and glare; warn
others in the area not to watch the arc. Do not strike a welding arc until all bystanders and
you (the user) have welding shields and/or helmets in place.
6.
Immediately replace a cracked or broken helmet or a scratched or damaged lens filter to
avoid damage to the eyes or face from arc flash or ejected molten material.
7.
Do not allow the welding stick to accidentally touch the ground clamp or grounded work. An
arc flash will result from contact and can injury the unprepared user and bystanders.
8.
Do not handle hot metal or electrode stubs with bare hands. Handling may result in a burn injury.
9.
Do not use the welding unit if personal movement is confined or if there is a danger of falling.
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 torch, electrode holder, welding cable or ground
cable are wet. Do not immerse them in water. These components and the welding unit must
be completely dry before attempting to use them.
13. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
14. Remove the electrode from the holder when not in use.
15. Do not point the torch or electrode holder at any body part of yourself or at anyone else.
16. Do not use a welding unit to thaw frozen pipes.
17. 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.
18. Remove the electrode from the holder when not in use.
19. 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.
20. 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.
