Almost got hurt today. PSA

So for the record, this was not at my shop and I was not doing the welding.

I have been passing on all the info from here to my buddy tho.

My main point was, trip the breaker before touching the cord. That's what almost ruined my day.

I try to remember to do that on my 175 mig at home, home made 8/3 extension cord if I remember right . Keep the breakers off until hooked up and ready to weld-----------
