SPECIFIC PRODUCT WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

1. USE EYE PROTECTION. Wear ANSI approved safety impact goggles

with

the

Welding Helmet when using this product. ANSI approved safety impact goggles

are available from Harbor Freight Tools. Make sure the #10 Shade Lens (part #3)

is properly attached to the Welding Helmet and in proper working order prior to

using this product.

2. THIS WELDING HELMET INCLUDES A #10 SHADE LENS (part #3). Before

welding or cutting, make sure the #10 Shade Lens offers adequate eye protection

for the type of welding or cutting job you intend to perform.

3. DRESS SAFELY. In addition to wearing ANSI approved safety impact goggles

and the #10 Shade Lens (part #3) with the Welding Helmet, leather leggings, fire

resistant shoes or boots should be worn when working with 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 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 proce-

dures. When welding or cutting overhead or in confined spaces, wear flame

resistant ear plugs or ear muffs to keep sparks out of ears.

4. AVOID OVEREXPOSURE TO FUMES AND GASES. Many welding cutting

processes produce fumes and gases which may cause personal injury. Do not

breathe the fumes and gases. Use enough ventilation or exhaust at the arc to

keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general working area.

5. AVOID BURNS. Make sure to wear the proper footwear, clothing, and safety

gear mentioned in Steps #1 and 2 above. Remember, always remove any com-

bustibles, such as matches and butane lighters from your pockets before per-

forming any welding or cutting operations. Do not touch hot equipment, such as

electrode holders, gun tips, and nozzle which can cause burns.

6. AVOID FIRES. Keep a fully charged fire extinguisher nearby. Remove any

combustible materials away from work area.

7. PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Properly install and ground all equipment

according to the equipment instruction manual, and national, state, and local

codes. Do not touch live electrical parts. The input power circuit and machine

internal circuits are also electrically energized when the power is on. When wire

welding, the wire, wire reel, drive rolls, and all other metal parts touching the wire

are electrically energized. Insulate yourself from the workpiece, and ground

yourself by wearing rubber sole shoes/boots or standing on a dry insulated plat-

form or mat.

8. KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT. Read and understand all the information and safety

warnings contained in the instruction manual of the welding equipment being

used.

9. THE PROTECTION COVER IN THE LENS HOLDER (part #2) AND #10

SHADE LENS (part #3) ARE BREAKABLE. The protection cover in the Lens

Holder and the #10 Shade Lens will not protect against some impact hazards,

such as fragmenting grinding wheel, abrasive disc fragments, or corrosive liquids.

Additional guards or other devices must be used where these hazards exist.

10. WARNING: This product, when used for welding and similar applications, con-

tains or produces a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer

and birth defects (or other reproductive harm).
