reduce the possibility of electric shock.
The MigWeld140 power switch is to be in the OFF (“O”) position when installing work cable and gun and when connecting
power cord to input power.
Always wear dry, protective clothing and welding gloves and insulated footwear.
Always operate the welder in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area. Do not operate the welder in humid, wet, rainy or poorly
ventilated areas.
Be sure that the work piece is properly supported and grounded prior to beginning the electric arc welding operation.
The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with
your bare skin or wet clothing.
Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth) ground.
FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.
Do not breathe fumes that are produced by the arc welding operation. These fumes are dangerous.
Keep the head and face out of the welding fumes.
Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation.
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.
Do not operate electric arc welder in areas where flammable or
explosive vapors.
Always keep a fire extinguisher accessible while performing arc-
welding operations.
ARC RAYS can burn.
Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your
eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing
open arc welding.
Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to
protect your skin and that of your helpers from the rays.
Protect other nearby personnel with suitable non-flammable
screening or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves
to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
HOT METAL can burn
Electric arc welding operations cause sparks and hot metal to
temperatures that can cause severe burns! Use protective
gloves and clothing when performing any metal working operations.
Make sure that all persons in the welding area are protected from
heat, sparks and ultraviolet rays. Use additional face shields and
flame resistant barriers as needed.
Never touch work piece until completely cooled.
ELECTRIC AND MANGETIC FIELDS may be dangerous
The electric magnetic field that is generated during arc
welding may interfere with the operation of various electrical and
electronic devices such as cardiac pacemakers. Persons using such
devices should consult with their physician prior to performing any
electric welding operations .Exposure to electromagnetic fields during
