1-4. Additional Installation, Operation, And Maintenance Hazards

MOVING PARTS can cause injury.

1. Before

working

of generator

, remove spark plugs

or injectors to keep engine from kicking back or

starting.

2. Block

flywheel so that it will not

turn while working

generator components.

FLYING PIECES OF METAL or DIRT can

injure eyes.

1. Wear safety glasses with side shields or face

shield.

STATIC ELECTRICITY can damage parts

on circuit boards.

1. Put on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling

boards

or parts.

2. Use proper static-proof bags and boxes to store,

move,

or ship PC boards.

MAGNETIC FIELDS FROM HIGH

CURRENTS can affect pacemaker

operation.

1. Pacemaker wearers keep away.

2. W

earers should consult their doctor before going

near arc welding, gouging, or spot welding

operations.

HOT PARTS can cause severe burns.

1. .Allow

cooling period before maintaining.

2. Wear

protective gloves and clothing when working

a hot engine.

FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause serious

personal injury and equipment damage.

1. Use lifting eye to lift unit only, NOT running gear,

gas cylinders, or any other accessories.

Use equipment of adequate capacity to lift unit.

READ INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Use

only genuine MILLER replacement parts.

2. Reinstall injectors and bleed air from fuel system

according to engine manual.

DO NOT LET ENGINE EXHAUST SPARKS

CAUSE FIRE.

1. Use approved engine exhaust spark arrestor in

required

areas – see applicable codes.

LOW VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY CAN

DAMAGE electrical equipment such as

MOTORS.

1. Turn off or unplug equipment before starting or

stopping

engine.

OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATED

EQUIPMENT.

1. Allow

cooling period.

2. Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before

starting

to weld again.

Follow rated duty cycle.

TILTING OF TRAILER can cause injury.

1. Use

tongue jack or blocks to support weight.

2. Properly install welding generator onto trailer

according

to instructions supplied with trailer

BATTERY ACID can BURN SKIN AND

EYES.

1. Do

not tip.

Replace damaged battery

Flush eyes and skin immediately with water

1-6. EMF Information

Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency

Electric And Magnetic Fields

The

following

is a quotation from the General Conclusions Section of

the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment,

Biological

Effects

of Power Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields – Background

Paper

, OTA-BP-E-53 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing

Office,

May 1989): “. . . there is now a

very large volume of scientific

findings

based on experiments at the cellular level and from studies

with animals and people which clearly establish that low frequency

magnetic

fields can

interact with, and produce changes in, biological

systems.

While most of this work is of very high quality

, the results are

complex. Current scientific understanding does not yet allow us to

interpret the evidence in a single coherent framework. Even more

frustrating,

it does not yet allow us to draw definite conclusions about

questions of possible risk or to offer clear science-based advice on

strategies to minimize or avoid potential risks.”

To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following

procedures:

1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.

2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.

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

4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away as

practical.

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

possible.

About Pacemakers:

The above procedures are also recommended for pacemaker

wearers. Consult your doctor for complete information.
