FOR ENGINE
powered equipment.
1.a.
Turn the engine off before trou-
bleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance
work requires it to be running.
____________________________________________________
1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the
engine exhaust fumes outdoors.
____________________________________________________
1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when
the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow
it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel
from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts
and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If
fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine
until fumes have been eliminated.
____________________________________________________
1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in
position and in good repair.Keep hands, hair,
clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans
and all other moving parts when starting, operat-
ing or repairing equipment.
____________________________________________________
1.e. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards
to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when
necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring
their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when
working near moving parts.
___________________________________________________
1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to
override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle con-
trol rods while the engine is running.

SAFETY
ARC 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 you
purchase a copy of “Safety in Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box
351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available
from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199.
BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE
PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC
FIELDS
may be dangerous
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes local-
ized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current
creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding
machines.
2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and
welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have othe health
effects which are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1.
Route the electrode and work cables togethe.
Secure them 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 and
work cables. If the elecrode cable is on your right
side, the work cable should also be on your right
side.
2.d.4.
Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close
as possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5.
Do not work next to welding power source.

The Above For Diesel Engines
The Above For Gasoline Engines
Mar ‘95
1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turn-
ing the engine or welding generator during maintenance work,
disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto
wire as appropriate.
___________________________________________________
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator pressure cap
when the engine is hot..
