between the electric utilities meter and the electrical
distribution box. This switch should be installed by a licensed
electrician.
WELDER SAFETY
Always keep a fire extinguisher
accessible while performing arc
welding operations.
Improper use of electric arc welders
can cause electric shock, injury, and
death! Take all precautions described in this manual to
reduce the possibility of electric shock.
◆ Always wear dry protective clothing and welding gloves, and
insulated footwear.
◆ Be sure that the work piece is properly supported and
grounded prior to beginning any electric arc welding
operation.
◆ Coiled welding cable should be spread out before use to
avoid overheating and damage to insulation.
Never immerse the electrode or electrode holder
in water. If the unit becomes wet for any reason,
be absolutely certain that it is completely clean and dry prior to
attempting use!
◆ Always attach the work lead first.
◆ Verify that the work piece is securely grounded.
◆ Always shut off the unit when not in use and remove the
electrode from the holder.
◆ Never allow any part of the body to touch the electrode and
ground or grounded work piece at the same time.
◆ Awkward welding conditions and positions can be electrically
hazardous. When crouching, kneeling or at elevations,
be sure to insulate all conductive parts, wear appropriate
protective clothing, and take precautions to prevent injury
from falls.
◆ Never attempt to use this equipment at current settings or
duty cycles higher than those specified on the equipment
