This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! ELECTRIC
SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult sym-
bols and related instructions below for necessary actions to avoid the
hazards.
1-2. Arc Welding Hazards
The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual
to call attention to and identify possible hazards. When you
see the symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructions
to avoid the hazard. The safety information given below is
only a summary of the more complete safety information
found in the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-5. Read and
follow all Safety Standards.
Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and
repair this equipment. A qualified person is defined as one
who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or
professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, train-
ing and experience, has successfully demonstrated ability to
solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter, the
work, or the project and has received safety training to recog-
nize and avoid the hazards involved.
During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks
or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is
electrically live whenever the output is on. The input
power circuit and machine internal circuits are also
live when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic
wire welding, the wire, wire reel, drive roll housing,
and all metal parts touching the welding wire are
electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly
grounded equipment is a hazard.
D Do not touch live electrical parts.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
D Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
D Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats
or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work
or ground.
D Do not use AC weld output in damp, wet, or confined spaces, or if
there is a danger of falling.
D Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process.
D If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on
unit.
D Additional safety precautions are required when any of the follow-
ing electrically hazardous conditions are present: in damp
locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such
as floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such
as sitting, kneeling, or lying; or when there is a high risk of unavoid-
able or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For these
conditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) a
semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a DC manual
(stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit volt-
age. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welder
is recommended. And, do not work alone!
D Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or
servicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according to
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).
D Properly install, ground, and operate this equipment according to
its Ownerโ€™s Manual and national, state, and local codes.
D Always verify the supply ground โˆ’ check and be sure that input
power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal in
disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properly
grounded receptacle outlet.
D When making input connections, attach proper grounding conduc-
tor first โˆ’ double-check connections.
D Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal
and sparks.
D Frequently inspect input power cord and ground conductor for
damage or bare wiring โ€“ replace immediately if damaged โ€“ bare
wiring can kill.
D Turn off all equipment when not in use.
D Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or repaired cables.
D Do not drape cables over your body.
D If earth grounding of the workpiece is required, ground it directly
with a separate cable.
D Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground,
or another electrode from a different machine.
D Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding ma-
chines at the same time since double open-circuit voltage will be
present.
D Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged
parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.
D Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.
D Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
D Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece
or worktable as near the weld as practical.
D Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent
contact with any metal object.
D Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any
single weld output terminal. Disconnect cable for process not in
use.
D Use GFCI protection when operating auxiliary equipment in damp
or wet locations.
SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists in inverter weld-
ing power sources AFTER removal of input power.
D Turn off unit, disconnect input power, and discharge input capaci-
tors according to instructions in Manual before touching any parts.
HOT PARTS can burn.
D Do not touch hot parts bare handed.
D Allow cooling period before working on
equipment.
D To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or wear heavy, insu-
lated welding gloves and clothing to prevent burns.
OM-277151 Page 2
Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing
these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your
health.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.
D Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
D Ventilate the work area and/or use local forced ventilation at the arc
to remove welding fumes and gases. The recommended way to
determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the composition
and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.
D If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
D Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the
manufacturerโ€™s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners,
consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
D Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch-
person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and
lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breath-
ing air is safe.
D Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying op-
erations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form
highly toxic and irritating gases.
D Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or
cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld
area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied
respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements
can give off toxic fumes if welded.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense
visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays
that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the
weld.
D Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of
filter lenses to protect your face and eyes from arc rays and
sparks when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1
listed in Safety Standards).
D Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your
helmet.
D Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,
glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
D Wear body protection made from durable, flameโˆ’resistant mate-
rial (leather, heavy cotton, wool). Body protection includes
oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless
trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks,
drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks
can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot
workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and
burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause
sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is
safe before doing any welding.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion.
D Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If
this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.
D Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
D Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
D Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.
D Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
D Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can
cause fire on the hidden side.
D Do not cut or weld on tire rims or wheels. Tires can explode if heat-
ed. Repaired rims and wheels can fail. See OSHA 29 CFR
1910.177 listed in Safety Standards.
D Do not weld on containers that have held combustibles, or on
closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes unless they are
properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 and AWS A6.0 (see
Safety Standards).
D Do not weld where the atmosphere can contain flammable dust,
gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).
D Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as
practical to prevent welding current from traveling long, possibly
unknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire
hazards.
D Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
D Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at
contact tip when not in use.
D Wear body protection made from durable, flameโˆ’resistant material
(leather, heavy cotton, wool). Body protection includes oil-free
clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high
shoes, and a cap.
D Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches,
from your person before doing any welding.
D After completion of work, inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks,
glowing embers, and flames.
D Use only correct fuses or circuit breakers. Do not oversize or by-
pass them.
D Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B
for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.
D Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the
manufacturerโ€™s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners,
consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
FLYING METAL or DIRT can injure eyes.
D Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding
cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool,
they can throw off slag.
D Wear approved safety glasses with side
shields even under your welding helmet.
BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.
D Shut off compressed gas supply when not in use.
D Always ventilate confined spaces or use
approved air-supplied respirator.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS (EMF
)
can affect Implanted Medical Devices.
D Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted
Medical Devices should keep away.
D Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor
and the device manufacturer before going near arc welding, spot
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating
operations.
Noise from some processes or equipment can
damage hearing.
D Wear approved ear protection if noise lev-
el is high.
NOISE can damage hearing.
OM-277151 Page 3
Compressed gas cylinders contain gas under high
pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since
gas cylinders are normally part of the welding
process, be sure to treat them carefully.
CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.
D Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechani-
cal shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.
D Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary
support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping.
D Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuits.
D Never drape a welding torch over a gas cylinder.
D Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder.
D Never weld on a pressurized cylinder โˆ’ explosion will result.
D Use only correct compressed gas cylinders, regulators, hoses,
and fittings designed for the specific application; maintain them
and associated parts in good condition.
D Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve. Do
not stand in front of or behind the regulator when opening the valve.
D Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is in
use or connected for use.

1-6. EMF Information
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric
and magnetic fields (EMF). The current from arc welding (and allied pro-
cesses including spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, and
induction heating operations) creates an EMF field around the welding
circuit. EMF fields can interfere with some medical implants, e.g. pace-
makers. Protective measures for persons wearing medical implants
have to be taken. For example, restrict access for passersโˆ’by or con-
duct individual risk assessment for welders. All welders should use the
following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from
the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a
cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables
to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the
welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire
feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the
device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.
If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recom-
mended.

2-6. Informations relatives aux CEM
Le courant รฉlectrique qui traverse tout conducteur gรฉnรจre des champs
รฉlectromagnรฉtiques (CEM) ร  certains endroits. Le courant issu dโ€™un
soudage ร  lโ€™arc (et de procรฉdรฉs connexes, y compris le soudage par
points, le gougeage, le dรฉcoupage plasma et les opรฉrations de
chauffage par induction) crรฉe un champ รฉlectromagnรฉtique (CEM)
autour du circuit de soudage. Les champs รฉlectromagnรฉtiques produits
peuvent causer interfรฉrence ร  certains implants mรฉdicaux, p. ex. les
stimulateurs cardiaques. Des mesures de protection pour les porteurs
dโ€™implants mรฉdicaux doivent รชtre prises: Limiter par exemple tout accรจs
aux passants ou procรฉder ร  une รฉvaluation des risques individuels pour
les soudeurs. Tous les soudeurs doivent appliquer les procรฉdures
suivantes pour minimiser lโ€™exposition aux CEM provenant du circuit de
soudage:
1. Rassembler les cรขbles en les torsadant ou en les attachant avec
du ruban adhรฉsif ou avec une housse.
2. Ne pas se tenir au milieu des cรขbles de soudage. Disposer les
cรขbles dโ€™un cรดtรฉ et ร  distance de lโ€™opรฉrateur.
3. Ne pas courber et ne pas entourer les cรขbles autour de votre
corps.
4. Maintenir la tรชte et le torse aussi loin que possible du matรฉriel du
circuit de soudage.
5. Connecter la pince sur la piรจce aussi prรจs que possible de la
soudure.
6. Ne pas travailler ร  proximitรฉ dโ€™une source de soudage, ni
sโ€™asseoir ou se pencher dessus.
7. Ne pas souder tout en portant la source de soudage ou le
dรฉvidoir.
En ce qui concerne les implants mรฉdicaux :
Les porteurs dโ€™implants doivent dโ€™abord consulter leur mรฉdecin avant
de sโ€™approcher des opรฉrations de soudage ร  lโ€™arc, de soudage par points,
de gougeage, du coupage plasma ou de chauffage par induction. Si le
mรฉdecin approuve, il est recommandรฉ de suivre les procรฉdures prรฉcรฉ-
dentes.
