HYDRAULIC FLUID can injure or kill.

D Before working on hydraulic system, turn off and

lockout/tagout unit, release pressure, and be sure

hydraulic pressure cannot be accidentally applied.

D Relieve pressure before disconnecting or con-

necting hydraulic lines.

D Check hydraulic system components and all con-

nections and hoses for damage, leaks, and wear

before operating unit.

D Wear protective equipment such as safety

glasses, leather gloves, heavy shirt and trousers,

high shoes, and a cap when working on hydraulic

system.

D Use a piece of paper or cardboard to search for leaks−−never use

bare hands. Do not use equipment if leaks are found.

D HYDRAULIC FLUID is FLAMMABLE−−do not work on hydraulics

near sparks or flames; do not smoke near hydraulic fluid.

D Reinstall doors, panels, covers, or guards when servicing is

finished and before starting unit.

D If ANY fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed

within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gan-

grene may result.

COMPRESSED AIR EQUIPMENT can

injure or kill.

D Before working on compressed air system, turn

off and lockout/tagout unit, release pressure,

and be sure air pressure cannot be accidentally

applied.

D Do not work on compressed air system with unit running unless

you are a qualified person and following the manufacturer's in-

structions.

D Do not modify or alter compressor or manufacturer-supplied

equipment. Do not disconnect, disable, or override any safety

equipment in the compressed air system.

1-3. California 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.)

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead

and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

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.

1-4. EMF Information

Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric

and magnetic fields (EMF). Welding current creates an EMF field

around the welding circuit and welding equipment. EMF fields may inter-

fere 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 individual risk as-

sessment for welders. All welders should use the following procedures

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.

Belt/Hydraulic Drive Generator

D Keep away from potential pinch points or crush points created by

equipment connected to the compressed air system.

D Do not work under or around any equipment that is supported only

by air pressure. Properly support equipment by mechanical

means.

COMPRESSED AIR can injure or kill.

D Before working on compressed air system,

turn off and lockout/tagout unit, release pres-

sure, and be sure air pressure cannot be acci-

dentally applied.

D Relieve pressure before disconnecting or con-

necting air lines.

D Check compressed air system components

and all connections and hoses for damage,

leaks, and wear before operating unit.

D Do not direct air stream toward self or others.

D Wear protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing pro-

tection, leather gloves, heavy shirt and trousers, high shoes, and

a cap when working on compressed air system.

D Use soapy water or an ultrasonic detector to search for

leaks−−never use bare hands. Do not use equipment if leaks are

found.

D Reinstall doors, panels, covers, or guards when servicing is

finished and before starting unit.

D If ANY air is injected into the skin or body seek medical help im-

mediately.

TRAPPED AIR PRESSURE AND WHIPPING

HOSES can injure.

D Release air pressure from tools and system be-

fore servicing, adding or changing attach-

ments, or opening compressor oil drain or oil fill

cap.

For Gasoline Engines:

Engine exhaust contains chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc-

tive harm.

For Diesel Engines:

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are

known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth

defects, and other reproductive harm.

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.
