4. Unplug before performing maintenance. Always unplug the Welder from its electrical
outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
5. Never leave the Welder unattended while energized. Turn power off if you have to
leave the Welder.
6. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there
is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions,
grease, oil, trash, and other debris.
7. Prevent eye injury and burns. Wearing and using ANSI-approved personal
safety clothing and safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
• Wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles underneath welding eye
protection featuring at least a number 10 shade lens rating, such as the one
included.
• Leather leggings, fire resistant shoes or boots should be worn when using this product.
Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or any clothing that can catch
and hold molten metal or sparks.
• Keep clothing free of grease, oil, solvents, or any flammable substances. Wear dry,
insulating gloves and protective clothing.
• Wear an approved head covering to protect the head and neck. Use aprons, cape,
sleeves, shoulder covers, and bibs designed and approved for welding and cutting
procedures.
• When welding/cutting overhead or in confined spaces, wear flame resistant ear plugs
or ear muffs to keep sparks out of ears.
8. Prevent accidental fires. Remove any combustible material from the work area.
• When possible, move the work to a location well away from combustible
materials. If relocation is not possible, protect the combustibles with a cover
made of fire resistant material.
• Remove or make safe all combustible materials for a radius of 35 feet (10 meters)
around the work area. Use a fire resistant material to cover or block all open doorways,
windows, cracks, and other openings.
• Enclose the work area with portable fire resistant screens. Protect combustible walls,
ceilings, floors, etc., from sparks and heat with fire resistant covers.
• If working on a metal wall, ceiling, etc., prevent ignition of combustibles on the other
side by moving the combustibles to a safe location. If relocation of combustibles is
not possible, designate someone to serve as a fire watch, equipped with a fire extin-
guisher, during the cutting process and for at least one half hour after the cutting is
completed.
• Do not weld or cut on materials having a combustible coating or combustible internal
structure, as in walls or ceilings, without an approved method for eliminating the haz-
ard.
• Do not dispose of hot slag in containers holding combustible materials. Keep a fire
extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.
• After spot welding, make a thorough examination for evidence of fire. Be aware that
