Watch Out! There are possible hazardswith this procedure! The possible hazards are shown inthe adjoining symbols. ..Marks a special safety message. ..Means “Note”; not safety related. This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! possibleELECTRIC SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult symbols and related instructions below for necessary actionsto avoid the hazards. 1-2.Arc Welding Hazards ..The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual tocall attention to and identify possible hazards. When you seethe symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructions toavoid the hazard. The safety information given below is onlya summary of the more complete safety information found inthe Safety Standards listed in Section 1-4. Read and follow allSafety Standards. ..Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, andrepair this unit. ..During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocksor severe burns. The electrode and work circuit iselectrically live whenever the output is on. The inputpower circuit and machine internal circuits are alsolive when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, thewire, wire reel, drive roll housing, and all metal parts touching thewelding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperlygrounded equipment is a hazard. ..Do not touch live electrical parts. ..Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection. ..Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating matsor covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the workor ground. ..Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or ifthere is a danger of falling. ..Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process. ..If AC output is required, use remote output control if present onunit. ..Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing orservicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according toOSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards). ..Properly install and ground this equipment according to itsOwner’s Manual and national, state, and local codes. ..Always verify the supply ground – check and be sure that inputpower cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal indisconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properlygrounded receptacle outlet. ..When making input connections, attach proper grounding conduc- tor first – double-check connections. ..Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring – replace cord immediately if damaged – bare wiring can kill. ..Turn off all equipment when not in use. ..Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables. ..Do not drape cables over your body. ..If earth grounding of the workpiece is required, ground it directlywith a separate cable. ..Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground, or another electrode from a different machine. ..Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damagedparts at once. Maintain unit according to manual. ..Wear a safety harness if working above floor level. ..Keep all panels and covers securely in place. ..Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpieceor worktable as near the weld as practical. ..Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to preventcontact with any metal object. ..Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to anysingle weld output terminal. SIGNIfICANT DC VOLTAGE exists after removal ofinput power on inverters. ..Turn Off inverter, disconnect input power, and discharge inputcapacitors according to instructions in Maintenance Sectionbefore touching any parts. Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathingthese fumes and gases can be hazardous to yourhealth. fUMESAND GASES can be hazardous. ..Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. ..If inside, ventilate the area ...
