the body, when they are plugged into the welder.
Do not modify any wiring, ground connections, switches, or fuses in this

welding equipment.
Wear welding gloves to help insulate hands from welding circuit.
•
Keep all liquid containers far enough away from the welder and work area •
so that if spilled, the liquid can not possibly come in contact with any part

EMF INFORMATION 1.2
WARNING: Welding current will cause electromagnetic fields as it flows
through welding cables and internal wiring. There has been and continues
to be some concern and research about such fields. Until the final
conclusions of the research are reached, you may wish to minimize your
exposure to electromagnetic fields when welding or cutting.
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace:
Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them. •
arrange cables to one side and away from you. •
Do not coil or drape cables around your body. •
Keep welding power source and cables as far away from you as practical. •
connect work clamp to work piece as close to the weld as possible. •
About Pacemakers: Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor prior to
using any welding equipment. If cleared by your doctor, then following the
above procedures is recommended.
