NOTICE: Product Specifications and features are subject to change without notice. While every attempt has been made to provide the most accurate and current information possible at the time of publication, this manual is intended to be a general guide and not intended to be exhaustive in its content regarding safety, welding, or the operation/maintenance of this unit.
Safe operation and proper maintenance is your responsibility. NOVA Welding Industries 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 NOVA product, it is no substitute for observing safe welding practices and behavior. Safe welding and related operations require basic knowledge, experience and ultimately the exercise of common sense.
Safety Warnings, Dangers, Cautions and Instructions NOTICE. This unit manual is intended for users with basic knowledge and skillset in welding. It is your responsibility to make certain that the use of this welder is restricted to persons who have read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual. If you or the operator needs further instruction, contact NOVA at 1-877 755-9353.
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. Use fans or respiration equipment to insure adequate ventilation if you are welding in a shop or garage area.
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 secure them so they will stay out of high traffic areas. CAUTION! Welded metal can stay hot long after welding is completed. Burns may occur. Always wear gloves or use tongs/pliers when handling welded or cut metal. Remember the heat from the metal may catch other material on fire.
