Safety Precautions
Make sure all connections are tight, clean, and dry.
• Keep cables dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks.
• Bare wiring can kill. Check all cables frequently for possible damage. If a damaged or an
uninsulated cable is detected, repair or replace it immediately.
EN
• Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent contact with any metal
object.
• Make sure that the grounding of the power line is properly connected.
• Do not use AC weld output in damp, wet, or confined spaces, or if there is a danger o f falling.
• Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process.
• If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on unit.
Additional safety precautions are required when any of the following electrically hazardous
• in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing,
conditions are present :
• on metal structures such as floors, gratings, or scaffolds,
• when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling, or lying,
• when there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground.
For these conditions, use the following equipment in order presented:
• Semiautomatic DC constant voltage (CV) MIG welding machine,
• DC manual MMA welding machine,
• DC or AC welding machine with reduced open-circuit voltage (VRD), if available.
• Turn off the electric power.
• Use non-conducting material, such as dry wood, to free the victim from contact with live parts

or wires.
Electric Shock
• Call for emergency services.
• If the victim is not breathing, Administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately
If you have first aid training;
after breaking contact with the electrical source. Continue CPR (cardiac massage) until
breathing starts or until help arrives.
• Where an automatic electronic defibrillator (AED) is available, use according to ins tructions.
• Treat an electrical burn as a thermal burn by applying sterile, cold (iced) compresses. Prevent
contamination, and cover with a clean, dry dressing.
• Keep away from the moving parts.
• Keep all protective devices such as covers, panels, flaps, etc., of machinery and equipment

closed and in locked position.
Cause Injuries
• Wear metal toe shoes against the possibility of heavy objects falling on to your feet.
Fumes and Gases
• Burning sensations and irritations in the eyes, nose and throat are signs of inadequate
Long-term inhalation of fumes and gases released from welding / cutting is very dangerous.
May Be Harmful To
ventilation. In such a case, immediately boost the ventilation of the work area, and if the
Your Health
problem persists, stop the welding / cutting process completely.
• Create a natural or artificial ventilation system in the work area.
• Use a suitable fume extraction system where welding / cutting works are being carried out. If
necessary, install a system that can expel fumes and gases accumulated in the entire workshop.
Use a suitable filtration system to avoid polluting the environment during discharge.
• If you are working in narrow and confined spaces or if you are welding lead, beryllium,
cadmium, zinc, coated or painted materials, use masks that provide fresh air in addition to the
above precautions.
• If the gas tanks are grouped in a separate zone, ensure that they are well ventilated, keep the
main valves closed when gas cylinders are not in use, pay attention to possible gas leaks.
• Shielding gases such as argon are denser than air and can be inhaled instead of air if used in
confined spaces. This is dangerous for your health as well.
• Do not perform welding / cutting operations in the presence of chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors
released during lubrication or painting operations.
• Some welded / cut parts require special ventilation. The safety rules of products that require
special ventilation should be read carefully. A suitable gas mask should be worn when
necessary.

• Use a standard protective mask and a suitable glass filter to protect your eyes and face.
• Protect other naked parts of your body (arms, neck, ears, etc.) with suitable protective clothing
from these rays.
• Enclose your work area with flame-resistant folding screens and hang warning signs at eye level
so that people around you will not sustain injuries from arc rays and hot metals.
• This machine is not used for heating of icebound pipes. This operation performed with the
welding / cutting machine causes explosion, fire or damage to your installation.
• Performing works such as welding / cutting, surface grinding, and brushing cause sparks and
metal particles to splatter. Wear approved protective work goggles which have edge guards
under the welding masks to prevent sustaining possible injuries.
Damage
• Do not touch the hot parts with bare hands.
• Wait until the time required for the machine to cool down before working on its parts.
• If you need to hold hot parts, use suitable tools, welding / cutting gloves with high-level thermal
insulation and fire-resistant clothes.
• The noise generated by some equipment and operations may damage your hearing ability.
• Wear approved personal ear protective equipment if the noise level is high.
• Do not point the torch towards any part of the body, other persons, or any metal while
unwrapping the welding / cutting wire.
• When welding wire is run manually from the roller especially in thin diameters the wire can slip
out of your hand, like a spring or can cause damage to you or other people around, therefore you
must protect your eyes and face while working on this.
• Never perform welding / cutting work in places near flammable materials. There may be fire or
explosions.
• Before starting the welding / cutting work, remove these materials form the environment or cover
them with protective covers to prevent combustions and flaring.
Explosion
• National and international special rules apply in these areas.
• Do not apply welding / cutting operations into completely closed tanks or pipes.
• Before welding to tanks and closed containers, open them, completely empty them, and clean
them. Pay the greatest attention possible to the welding / cutting operations you will perform in
such places.
• Do not weld in tanks and pipes which might have previously contained substances that may
cause explosions, fires or other reactions.
• Welding / cutting equipment heats up. For this reason, do not place it on surfaces that could
easily burn or be damaged !
• Sparks and splashing parts may cause a fire. For this reason, keep materials such as fire
extinguishers tubes, water, and sand in easily accessible places.
• Use holding valves, gas regulators and valves on flammable, explosive and compressed gas
circuits. Make sure that they are periodically inspected and pay attention that they run reliably.
• Electrical equipment should not be repaired by unauthorized persons.
Errors occurred if failed to do so may result in serious injury or death when using the
equipment.
• The gas circuit elements operate under pressure; explosions may occur as a result of services
provided by unauthorized persons, users may sustain serious injuries.
• It is recommended to perform technical maintenance of the machine and its auxiliary units at
least once a year.
