Some of these practices apply to equipment connected to power lines; other practices
apply to engine driven equipment. Anyone not having extensive training in welding and
cutting practices should not attempt to weld.
Safe practices are outlined in the European Standard EN60974-1 entitled: Safety in

wire welding, the wire, wire reel, drive roll housing, and all metal parts touching the welding
wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is a hazard.
1. Do not touch live electrical parts.
2. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
3. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats or covers.
4. Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or servicing this equipment.
