WARNING!

Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precautions

when welding and cutting. Ask for your employer's safety practices which should be

based on manufacturers' hazard data.

ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill

• Install and earth the unit in accordance with applicable standards

• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or

wet clothing

• Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece

• Ensure your working stance is safe

FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health

• Keep your head out of the fumes

• Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away

from your breathing zone and the general area

ARC RAYS - Can injure eyes and burn skin

• Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and

wear protective clothing

• Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains

FIRE HAZARD

• Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no

inflammable materials nearby

NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing

• Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

• Warn bystanders of the risk

MALFUNCTION - Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

Read and understand the instruction manual before installing or operating.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

CAUTION!

Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential

locations where the electrical power is provided by the

public low-voltage supply system. There may be

potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic

compatibility of class A equipment in those locations,

due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.

CAUTION!

Read and understand the instruction manual before

installing or operating.
