WARNING

Before starting any cleaning, or maintenance procedures on the welding machine, make sure that it is switched

OFF and disconnected from the mains supply.

There are no user serviceable parts inside the welder. Refer to a qualified service personnel if any internal

maintenance is required. After use, wipe the welder down with a clean soft dry cloth.

Regular inspection of the supply cord is required and if damaged is suspected, it must be immediately replaced

by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard

STORAGE/ TRANSPORT

Store the welder and accessories out of children’s reach in a dry place. If possible store the welder in the

original packaging. The appliance must unconditionally be secured against falling or rolling over during

transport.

DISPOSING OF THE PACKAGING

Recycling packaging reduces the need for landfill and raw materials. Reuse of the recycled material

decreases pollution in the environment. Please recycle packaging where facilities exist. Check with your local

council authority for recycling advice.

DISPOSING OF THE WELDER

Welders that are no longer usable should not be disposed of with household waste but in an environmentally

friendly way. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local council authority for recycling advice.

GAS BOTTLE

ATTENTION! - CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

At initial set up and at regular intervals we recommend to check for gas leakage

Recommended procedure is as follows:

1. Connect the regulator and gas hose assembly and tighten all connectors and clamps.

2. Slowly open the cylinder valve.

3. Set the flow rate on the regulator to approximately 10-15 l/min.

4. Close the cylinder valve and pay attention to the needle indicator of the contents pressure gauge on

the regulator, if the needle drops away towards zero there is a gas leak. Sometimes a gas leak can

be slow and to identify it will require leaving the gas pressure in the regulator and line for an extended

time period. In this situation it is recommended to open the cylinder valve, set the flow rate to 8-10 l/min,

close the cylinder valve and check after a minimum of 15 minutes. Ensuring adequate ventilation fore

small spaces.

5. If there is a gas loss then check all connectors and clamps for leakage by brushing or spraying with /

soapy water, bubbles will appear at the leakage point.

6. Tighten clamps or fittings to eliminate gas leakage.

IMPORTANT! -

We strongly recommend that you check for gas leakage prior to operation of your

machine. We recommend that you close the cylinder valve when the machine is not in use.

BOSSWELD, authorised representatives or agents of BOSSWELD will not be liable or responsible for the

loss of any gas.
