Tool Set Up
TO PREVENT
SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL
OPERATION:
Turn the switch to its off
position before performing
any inspection, maintenance,
or cleaning procedures.
Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
Designate a work area that is clean 1.
and well-lit. The work area must not
allow access by children or pets to
prevent injury and distraction.
Route the power cord along a safe 2.
route to reach the work area without
creating a tripping hazard or exposing
the power cord to possible damage.
The power cord must reach the work
area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
Secure loose work pieces using 3.
a vise or clamps (not included) to
prevent movement while working.
The work pieces should be rmly
held together and in position while
welding. The distance (if any)
between the two work pieces must
be controlled properly to allow the
weld to hold both sides securely while
allowing the weld to penetrate fully
into the joint.
There must not be hazardous 4.
objects, such as utility lines or foreign
objects, nearby that will present a
hazard while working.
A barrier, such as a welding curtain 5.
or welding shroud should be put up
to protect others in the work area and
limit the spray of sparks.
