4. A person who is using a pace maker of heart shall no access to the

welder in operation or the surroundings of the welding work place
without a doctors approval. The welder generates a magnetic field
around the surroundings during electrification and the pace maker will
be adversely affected.
5. When a water cooled torch or a cooling water circulation system is
used,clean the cooling water passage once a month. The passage
obstruction may provoke explosion or burning.
6. In order to secure safety, installation, maintenance/inspection and
repaining of this welder shall be carried out by a well trained person
who has a good knowledge about welder, or a qualified person.
7. In order to secure safety, the operation of the welder shall be operated
by a knowledgeable and skilled person who can understand very well
about the contents of the manual and can handle the welder safety.
8. Never use this machine for a purpose other than welding.

In order to avoid an electric shock,be sure to observe the

WARNING followings.

Touching the electrically charged portion may result in a fatal electric shock or burns.

1. Do not touch the live parts.

2. Be sure to turn off all power sources on the input side by the switch in
the distribution box before performing installation or maintenance/
inspection operation.
3. Do not use damaged cables, those of small capacity or of which the
conductors are exposed.
4. Be sure to fasten the connections of cable and insulate them.
5. Do not use the welder without its case or cover.
6. Do not uer broken or wet gloves.Be sure to always use insulated
gloves.
7. When working at a high position,use a life rope.

In order to prevent fire, explosion and burst, be sure to

WARNING observe the followings.

Spatter and heated base metal just after welding may cause fire.
If these are incomplete connections of cable or incomplete contacts in the current flow
passage on the base metal side such as steel frame, these may result in fire due to
the heat generation by electrification.
Generating arc in a vassel containing gasoline or other flammables may result in
explosion.
Welding a sealed tank or pipe may result in burst.

1. Remove flammable materials to avoid contacting with scattering

spatter. When not removable, enclose the flammable materials with a
non-flammable cover.
2. Do not perform welding when there is flammable gas nearby.
3. Do not bring the hot base metal just after welding nearer to the
flammable materials.
4. Regarding the welding for ceiling snd floor, wall, remove the hidden
flammable materials.
5. Be sure to fasten the connections of cable and insulate them.
6. The cable on the base metal side shall be connected close to the
welded section as much as possible.
7. Do not weld a gas pipe with gas inside, a sealed tank or pipe.
8. Please keep a fire extinguisher near the welding work place and
prepare for fire.

In order to protect you and other persons from fumes or gas

WARNING generated by welding, use an exhaust system and protective
tools.

Welding work at a narrow place may result in danger of suffocation due to the occur-
rence of air shortage.
When breathing in fumes or gas generated at the time of welding, it may cause a harm
of health.

1. In order to prevent gas poisoning or suffocation,in a place specified by

regulations(such as Industrial Safety and Health Law, etc.), provide
good ventilation or effective tools for breathing shall be used.

2. In case of welding at a narrow place, be sure to provide good

ventilation or wear a protective tool for breathing. Also carry out the
welding work under a well trained supervisor.

As the rotating section may cause an injury, be sure to

WARNING observe the followings.

When bringing hands, fingers, hair or cloth nearer to arotating section such as cooling
fan or feeding roller of wire feeder, it may result in injuries by being rolled in.

1. Do not use the welder without its case or cover attached.

2. When taking out the case or cover for maintenance/inspection, the
work shall be carried out by a knowledgeable, well trained person who
can understand very well about the welder or a ququalified person.
Install a screen in the surroundings of welder lest the other person
makes an access carelessly.
3. Do not bring hands, fingers, hair or cloth nearer to the cooling fan or
feeding roller in rotation.

Welding wire tip may harm you. Please observe the

WARNING following instructions to prevent injuries.

Wire ejected from the tip of a welding torch may pierce your eye, face or body resulting
in injuries.

1. Never look into the tip hole in order to check wire feeding. Wire ejected
may pierce your eye or face resulting in injuries.
2. Never perform the inching nor pull the torch switch bringing the tip of a
welding torch nearer to your eye, face or body. Wire ejected may
pierce your eye, face or body resulting in injuries.
