A Install and continue to maintain equipment according
to USA Standard C1, National Electric Code.
B Never allow live metal parts to touch bare skin or any
wet clothing. Use only dry gloves.
C When welding or cutting in a damp area, or when
standing on metal, make sure you are well in
-
sulated by wearing dry gloves, rubber soled
shoes, and by standing on a dry board or plat
-
form.
D Do not use worn or damaged welding or torch cables.
Do not overload the cables. Use well maintained
equipment.
E When not welding/cutting, turn equipment OFF. Ac
-
cidental grounding can cause overheating and
create a fire hazard. Do not coil or loop the ca
-
ble around parts of the body.
8020MAGNETICARCCONTROLLER
xii
F The ground cable should be connected to the work
piece as close to the work area as possible.
Grounds connected to building framework or
other locations remote to the work area reduce
efficiency and increase the potential hazard of
electric shock. Avoid the possibility of the weld
-
ing or cutting current passing through lifting
chains, crane cables or other electrical paths.
G Keep everything dry you might touch, including
clothing, the work area, welding gun, torch and
welding or cutting machines. Fix water leaks
immediately. Do not operate equipment stand
-
ing in water.
H Never use a cutting torch or welding gun which is
damaged or contains cracked housing.
I Refer to AWS-Z49.1 for grounding recommendations.

A Use a proper face shield fitted with the correct filter
(#10 or greater) and cover plates to protect
your eyes, face, neck and ears from the sparks
and rays of the cutting/welding arc when
cutting/welding or observing cutting/welding.
Warn bystanders not to watch the arc and not
to expose themselves to the cutting/welding
arc rays or to hot metal.
B Wear flameproof gauntlet-type gloves, a heavy
long-sleeve shirt, cuff-less trousers,
high-topped shoes, and a welding helmet or
cap (for hair protection) to protect the skin
from arc rays and hot sparks or hot metal.
C Protect other nearby personnel from arc rays and
hot sparks with a suitable non-flammable par
-
tition.
D Always wear safety glasses or goggles when in a
cutting or welding area. Use safety glasses with
side shields or goggles when chipping slag or
grinding. Chipped slag is hot and may travel a
considerable distance. Bystanders should also
wear safety glasses or goggles.
E Compressed gas cylinders are potentially dangerous,
refer to the suppliers for proper handling pro
-
cedures.
F Wear ear plugs or other ear protection devices when
operating cutting or welding equipment.

ORGASES.
A Move all combustible materials well away from the
cutting area or completely cover materials
with a non-flammable covering. Combustible
materials include but are not limited to wood,
clothing, sawdust, gasoline, kerosene, paints,
solvents, natural gases, acetylene, propane,
and similar articles.
B Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work on used
barrels, drums, tanks or other containers until
they have been completely cleaned. There
must be no substances in the container which
might produce flammable or toxic vapors.
C For fire protection, have suitable extinguishing
equipment handy for instant use.

EXTENDEDPERIODOF TIME.
A At all times, provide adequate ventilation in the weld
-
ing and cutting area by either natural or me
-
chanical means. Do not weld or cut on
galvanized, zinc, lead, beryllium or cadmium
materials unless positive mechanical ventila
-
tion is provided to prevent inhaling fumes and
gases from these materials.
B Do not weld or cut in locations close to chlorinated
hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing
or spraying operations. The heat of arc rays
can react with solvent vapors to form phos
-
gene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritant
gases.
C If you develop momentary eye, nose or throat irrita
-
tion during welding or cutting, it is an indica
-
tion that the ventilation is not adequate. Stop
work and take the necessary steps to improve
ventilation in the welding or cutting area. Do
not continue to weld or cut if physical discom
-
fort persists.
8020MAGNETICARCCONTROLLER
xiii
D Use an air supplied respirator if ventilation is not
adequate to remove all fumes and gases.
E Beware of gas leaks. Welding or cutting gases con
-
taining argon are denser than air and will replace
air when used in confined spaces. Do not locate
gas cylinders in confined spaces. When not in
use, shut OFF the gas supply at its source.

Do not install unit near flammables.
FALLING EQUIPMENT
FallingEquipmentcancauseseriouspersonalin-

Use lifting eyes to lift unit only, not running
gear, gas cylinders, or any other accessories.
Use equipment of adequate capacity to lift
units.
If using fork lifts to move units, be sure forks
are long enough to extend beyond opposite
side of the unit.
HOT PARTS
