SECTION I - INTRODUCTION
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Never weld on sealed containers or pipes. This
may result in an EXPLOSION.
WARNING: Welding produces high temperatures in both the
welded components and the welding equipment. Both can
cause severe burns. Do not touch recently welded components.
Avoid touching internal components of the welding system
soon after use. Avoid touching torch components and welding
fixtures soon after welding.
WARNING: The welding arc emits ultra-violet (UV) radiation
and the molten weld gives off infra-red. Both can burn eyes
and skin if unprotected. Suitable eye and skin protection must
be worn.
WARNING: Weld materials can emit toxic fumes during
welding.
WELD ONLY IN AREAS WITH ADEQUATE
VENTILATION.
WARNING: Most GTAW gases like Argon are non-toxic,
however, Argon is heavier than air and will displace the
normal atmosphere in enclosed areas.
DO NOT WELD IN
ENCLOSED AREAS WITH OUT PROPER VENTILATION OR
RESPIRATORS .
WARNING: AMI factory training is essential for all Welding
Operators and Maintenance Technicians who operate AMI
equipment.
WARNING: Some systems, are intended solely for in-door
use and must be kept dry.
Before operating, storing or handling, always make sure that
the M-207A, M-207-RP Pendant, weld heads and cables are
not exposed to rain or standing water. SYSTEM
COMPONENTS ARE NOT WEATHER-PROOF.
