1.01 Arc Welding Hazards
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or
severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is electri-
cally live whenever the output is on. The input power
circuit and machine internal circuits are also live when
power is on. In semi-automatic or automatic wire weld-
ing, the wire, wire reel, drive roll housing, and all metal
parts touching the welding wire are electrically live.
Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment
is a hazard.

hearing.
