weldingwire to metal object can cause sparks,overheating, or fire.
1. Protectyourselfand others from flying sparks and hot metals.
2. Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammablematerial.
3. Removeall flammableswithin 10m (33ft)of the welding arc. lf this is not possible,tightly,
cover them with approved covers.
4. Be alert that welding sparks and hot metalsfrom welding can easily pass through cracks
and openingsinto adjacentareas.
5. Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguishernearby.
. Be awarethat welding on a ceiling,floor, bulkhead,or partitioncan ignite a hiddenfire.
. Do not weld on closed containerssuch as tanks or drums.
. Connectbase metal side cable as close to the welding area as possibleto preventthe
welding currentfrom travelingalong unknown paths and causing electricshock and fire
hazards.
L Removestick electrodefrom holderor cut off welding wire at contacttip when not in use.
10. Does not use the welding power source for other than arc welding.
11. Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, a heavy shirt, cuffless trousers,

Arc welding producefumes and gases.Bre umes and gases can be hazardousto
your health.
1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathethe fumes.
2. Ventilatethe area and/or use exhaustat the arc to removewelding fumes and gases.
3. lf ventilationis poor, use an approvedair-suppliedrespirator.
4. Readthe MaterialSafetyDataSheets(MSDS)andthe manufacturer'sinstructionson

5. Do not weld or cut in locationsnear degreasing,cleaning,or sprayingoperations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
6. Work in a confinedspace only if it is well ventilated,or while wearingan air-supplied

O Do not touch live electricalparts inside or outsidethe welding machine.
O Turn off alt of the line disconnect switches before touching the parts inside the welding
machine.
O Perform the maintenance checks periodically. lf any damaged parts are found, only use the
welding machineafter troubleshootingor repairing.
O Only certifiedoperatorsshould maintain,inspect,or repairthe welding machine.
O When carrying out the maintenance,wait more than three minutes after powering off all input
power supply by turning off the line disconnect switch in the switch box. Capacitormay be
dischargingeven after powering off all input power supply. Check to make sure that charging
voltagedoes not exist beforecarryingout the maintenance.
O This welding power source uses a high-frequencyinverter system, be careful of accidental
connectionof the line disconnectswitch at input side.
O Have qualifiedoperatorsor the personsfamiliarwith this welding power source test withstand
voltage.And install a protectivewall around the welding machineto keep away others from the
welding machine.

! CAUTION
Rotatingparts may cause injuries.Be sure to observethe following.

O Only certifiedoperatorsshould maintain,inspect,or repairthe welding machine.

O Installa fence around the welding machineto keep others away from it.
O Do not put your hands,fingers,hair and clothes near the fans and wire feed roll rotatinq.

! CAUTION
Do not touch the parts for the main circuit which are located inside the

d source, such as single-phase transformer, DC inductor, heat sink, etc.

immediately after welding is performed, as the parts are extremely hot. Wait
until the parts cool down, when touching. Failureto observe the demand may
result in burn.

! CAUTION
O The welding conditions(electronicinformation)stored using the JOB MEMORYkeys are likely
to be affected by occurrence of static electricity,and there is a possibility that the preset data
