    Safe operation and proper maintenance is your responsibility. Everlast is dedicated to keeping safety a top priority. While we have compiled this operator’s manual to instruct you in basic safe operation and maintenance of your Everlast product, it is no substitute for observing safe welding practices and behavior. Safe welding and related cutting operations require basic knowledge, experience and ultimately the exercise of common sense.

  • Page 7: Safety Warnings, Dangers, Cautions And Instructions

    It is your responsibility to make certain that the use of this welder is restricted to per- sons who have read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual. If you or the operator needs further instruction, contact Everlast welding support at 1-877 755-9353 ext. 204 or seek qualified professional advice and training.
  • Page 8 Safety Warnings, Dangers, Cautions and Instructions DANGER! Welding and cutting operations pose serious inhalation hazards. Some of these hazards are immediate while others are cumulative in their effect. Do not weld in enclosed spaces or in areas without adequate ventilation. Fumes and gases released in the welding and cutting operations can be toxic.
  • Page 9 Safety Warnings, Dangers, Cautions and Instructions CAUTION! Trip Hazards exist around welders. Cords, cables, welding leads and hoses pose a trip hazard. Be aware of their location and inform others of their location. Tape and se- cure them so they will stay out of high traffic areas. CAUTION! Welded metal can stay hot long after welding is completed.
