SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Although the Electronic Arc Height Sensor (E.A.H.S.) is manufactured for safe and dependable
operation, it is impossible to anticipate those combinations of circumstances, which could result in
an accident. An operator of this equipment is cautioned to always practice "Safety First" during
each phase of operation, setup and maintenance.

equipment. Become familiar with the machine operation, applications and limitations. Keep the
operating instructions in a clean and readily available location.
This equipment is normally used to automate / semi-automate welding processes. These
processes usually have any combination of the following; bright and hot arcs, flying sparks, fumes,
ultraviolet and infrared radiated energy, hot work-pieces, compressed gases, etc. The onus is on
the operator of this equipment to know, understand and follow all the safety precautions associated
with the process being used.
A careless operator invites troubles, and failure to follow safety practices may cause serious injury
or even death. Important safety precautions are given in the following:
