iDiesel engine exhaust and some of its constituentsare known to the State of California to cause cancer,birth defects, and other reproductive harm.The Above For Diesel EnginesFOR ENGINEpowered equipment.1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenancework unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.____________________________________________________1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilatedareas or vent the engine exhaust fumesoutdoors.____________________________________________________1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flamewelding arc or when the engine is running.Stop the engine and allow it to cool beforerefueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizingon contact with hot engine parts andigniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. Iffuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not startengine until fumes have been eliminated.____________________________________________________1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices inposition and in good repair.Keep hands, hair, clothing andtools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other movingparts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.____________________________________________________1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safetyguards to perform required maintenance. Removeguards only when necessary and replace them when themaintenance requiring their removal is complete.Always use the greatest care when working near movingparts.___________________________________________________1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan.Do not attempt to override the governor oridler by pushing on the throttle control rodswhile the engine is running.SAFETYWARNINGCALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGSThe engine exhaust from this product containschemicals known to the State of California to causecancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.The Above For Gasoline EnginesARC WELDING CAN BE HAZARDOUS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING.Read and understand the following safety highlights. For additional safety information, it is strongly recommended that youpurchase a copy of “Safety in Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is availablefrom the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199.BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES AREPERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove theradiator pressure cap when the engine ishot.ELECTRIC ANDMAGNETIC FIELDSmay be dangerous2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causeslocalized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Weldingcurrent creates EMF fields around welding cables andwelding machines2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, andwelders having a pacemaker should consult their physicianbefore welding.2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other healtheffects which are now not known.2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order tominimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Securethem with tape when possible.2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode andwork cables. If the electrode cable is on your rightside, the work cable should also be on your right side.i___________________________________________________1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines whileturning the engine or welding generator during maintenancework, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap ormagneto wire as appropriate.2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close aspossible to the area being welded.2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.
iiELECTRIC SHOCK cankill.3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuitsare electrically “hot” when the welder is on.Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bareskin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-freegloves to insulate hands.3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your fullarea of physical contact with work and ground.In addition to the normal safety precautions, if weldingmust be performed under electrically hazardousconditions (in damp locations or while wearing wetclothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings orscaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable oraccidental contact with the workpiece or ground) usethe following equipment:• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomaticwelding gun are also electrically “hot”.3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. The connectionshould be as close as possible to the area being welded.3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical(earth) ground.3.f.Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable andwelding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replacedamaged insulation.3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts ofelectrode holders connected to two welders because voltagebetween the two can be the total of the open circuit voltageof both welders.3.i.When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protectyourself from a fall should you get a shock.3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.SAFETYARC RAYS can burn.4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and coverplates to protect your eyes from sparks andthe rays of the arc when welding or observingopen arc welding. Headshield and filter lensshould conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistantmaterial to protect your skin and that of your helpers fromthe arc rays.4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammablescreening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor exposethemselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.FUMES AND GASEScan be dangerous.5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gaseshazardous to health. Avoid breathing thesefumes and gases. When welding, keepyour head out of the fume. Use enoughventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keepfumes and gases away from the breathing zone. Whenwelding with electrodes which require specialventilation such as stainless or hard facing (seeinstructions on container or MSDS) or on lead orcadmium plated steel and other metals or coatingswhich produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure aslow as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL andACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanicalventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances,outdoors, a respirator may be required.Additional precautions are also required when weldingon galvanized steel.5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affectedby various factors including proper use and positioning ofthe equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specificwelding procedure and application involved. Workerexposure level should be checked upon installation andperiodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicableOSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vaporscoming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors toform phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air andcause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.iiOPERATORʼS MANUAL5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for thisequipment and the consumables to be used, including thematerial safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow youremployer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available fromyour welding distributor or from the manufacturer.5.f.Also see item 1.b.
