Safety Rules
“Danger”
indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
“Warning!”
indicates a possible hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
The possible hazards are explained in the text.
“Caution”
indicates a possible hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in slight or moderate injury.
“Note!”
indicates a situation which implies a risk of impaired welding result and damage to the equipment.
“Important!”
indicates practical tips and other useful special-message. It is no signal word for a harmful or dangerous
situation.
Utilisation for intended purpose only.
Utilisation for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall be deemed to be “not in accordance with the intended
purpose”. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such improper use.
The machine may only be used for jobs as defined by the “Intended purpose”.
Safety signs.
removed, not be covered, pasted or painted cover.
All the safety instructions and danger warnings on the machine must be kept in legible condition, not
Safety inspection.
The manufacturer also recommends every 3-6 months for regular maintenance of power sources.
The owner/operator is obliged to perform safety inspection at regular intervals.
Electric shock can kill.
work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and machine internal circuits are
also live when power is on. In MIG/MAG welding, the wire, drive rollers, wire feed housing and all metal parts
touching the welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is a hazard.
Do not touch live electrical parts of the welding circuit, electrodes and wires with your bare skin or wet clothing.
The operator must wear dry hole-free insulating welding gloves and body protection while performs the welding.
Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating protection which is large enough to prevent you full area
of physical contact with the work or ground.
Connect the primary input cable according to rules. Disconnect input power or stop machine before installing or
maintenance.
If welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions as follow: in damp locations or wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,
kneeling, or lying; or in occasion when there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the work piece or
ground. Must use additional safety precautions: semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, DC manual
(Stick) welder and AC welder with reduced open-load voltage.
Maintain the electrode holder, ground clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition.
Replace damaged part immediately.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and
Electric and magnetic fields (EMF) may be dangerous.
If electromagnetic interference is found to be occurring,
the operator is obliged to examine any possible electromagnetic problems that may occur on equipment as follow:
- Minas, signal and data-transmission leads
- IT and telecoms equipment
- Measurement and calibration devices
- Wearers of pacemakers
Measures for minimizing or preventing EMC problems:
- Mains supply
