Indicates a hazardous situation which, ifnot avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Thepossible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbolsor explained in the a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,could result in death or serious injury. The possiblehazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or ex-plained in the Indicates statements not related to personal injury. Indicates special group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! ELECTRICSHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult sym-bols and related instructions below for necessary actions to avoid Arc Welding HazardsThe symbols shown below are used throughout this manualto call attention to and identify possible hazards.

6 When yousee the symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructionsto avoid the hazard. The safety information given below isonly a summary of the more complete safety informationfound in the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-5. Read andfollow all Safety qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, andrepair this operation, keep everybody, especially children, live electrical parts can cause fatal shocksor severe burns. The electrode and work circuit iselectrically live whenever the output is on. The inputpower circuit and machine internal circuits are alsolive when power is on. In semiautomatic or automaticwire welding, the wire, wire reel, drive roll housing,and all metal parts touching the welding wire areelectrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperlygrounded equipment is a hazard. Do not touch live electrical SHOCK can kill. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.

7 Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating matsor covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the workor ground. Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or ifthere is a danger of falling. Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process. If AC output is required, use remote output control if present onunit. Additional safety precautions are required when any of the follow-ing electrically hazardous conditions are present: in damplocations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures suchas floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped positions suchas sitting, kneeling, or lying; or when there is a high risk of unavoid-able or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For theseconditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) asemiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a DC manual(stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit volt-age.

8 In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welderis recommended. And, do not work alone! Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing orservicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according toOSHA 29 CFR (see Safety Standards). Properly install, ground, and operate this equipment according toits Owner s Manual and national, state, and local codes. Always verify the supply ground check and be sure that inputpower cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal indisconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properlygrounded receptacle outlet. When making input connections, attach proper grounding conduc-tor first double-check connections. Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metaland sparks. Frequently inspect input power cord and ground conductor fordamage or bare wiring replace immediately if damaged barewiring can kill.

9 Turn off all equipment when not in use. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or repaired cables. Do not drape cables over your body. If earth grounding of the workpiece is required, ground it directlywith a separate cable. Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground,or another electrode from a different machine. Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding ma-chines at the same time since double open-circuit voltage will bepresent. Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damagedparts at once. Maintain unit according to manual. Wear a safety harness if working above floor level. Keep all panels and covers securely in place. Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpieceor worktable as near the weld as practical. Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to preventcontact with any metal object. Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to anysingle weld output terminal.

10 Disconnect cable for process not inuse. Use GFCI protection when operating auxiliary equipment in dampor wet DC VOLTAGE exists in inverter weld-ing power sources AFTER removal of input power. Turn Off inverter, disconnect input power, and discharge inputcapacitors according to instructions in Maintenance Sectionbefore touching any PARTS can burn. Do not touch hot parts bare handed. Allow cooling period before working on equip-ment. To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/orwear heavy, insulated welding gloves andclothing to prevent 203 Page 2 Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathingthese fumes and gases can be hazardous to AND GASES can be hazardous. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at thearc to remove welding fumes and gases. The recommended wayto determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the compositionand quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.
