3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating welding
equipment. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the
work area from arc rays, sparks, and slag. Provide barriers or shields as
needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Grounded welding equipment must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances.
Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the welding equipment
should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
3. Do not expose welding equipment to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
welding equipment will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry welding
equipment or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords
immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating welding equipment outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
The minimum extension cord size for this tool is 6 GAUGE for cords UP TO 25’ LONG.
CORDS LONGER THAN 25’ SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH THE WELDER.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating welding equipment. Do not use welding equipment while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating welding equipment may result in serious personal injury.
