POWER MIG® 215 SAFETY i i FOR ENGINE powered equipment. 1.a. T urn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running. ____________________________________________________ 1.b.Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors. _____________________[...]

SAFETY ii ii POWER MIG® 215 FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous. 5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding with electrodes which req[...]

CYLINDER may explode if damaged. 7. a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition. 7.b . Always keep cylinders in an upright posi[...]
