1-3. Proposition 65 Warnings

Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases

which contain chemicals known to the State of California to

cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California

Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)

This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to

the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other

reproductive harm. Wash hands after use.

1-5. EMF Information

Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric

and magnetic fields (EMF).The current from arc welding (and allied pro-

cesses including spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, and induc-

tion heating operations) creates an EMF field around the welding circuit.

EMF fields may interfere with some medical implants, e.g. pacemakers.

Protective measures for persons wearing medical implants have to be

taken. For example, restrict access for passers−by or conduct individu-

al risk assessment for welders. All welders should use the following pro-

cedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding

circuit:

1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a

cable cover.

2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables

to one side and away from the operator.

3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.

4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the

welding circuit as possible.

5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as

possible.

6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.

7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire

feeder.

About Implanted Medical Devices:

Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the

device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot

welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.

If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recom-

mended.
