1. Safety Symbol Definitions

Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazards as

shown in the adjoining symbols.

Have only trained and qualified persons install, operate,

or service this unit. Call your distributor if you do not

understand the directions. For WELDING SAFETY and

EMF information, read power source Manual.

Beware of electric shock from welding electrode or

wiring. Touching the electrode while in contact with the

work or ground can cause electric shock. Always wear

dry gloves. Keep all panels and covers closed.

Cylinders contain gas under high pressure and can ex-

plode if damaged. Never let a welding electrode touch

any cylinder. Always secure cylinder to running gear,

wall, or other stationary support.

Hot parts can cause burns. Welding makes parts very

hot − let them cool before touching.

Wear safety glasses with side shields.

The RFCS (Remote Foot Control Switch) is equipped with a 14-pin plug for

connecting to the welding power source.
