IMPORTANT:
BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT,
READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL, WHICH
MUST BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL
USERS FOR THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF
THE MACHINE.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR WELD-
ING OPERATIONS.

SAFETY P
PRECAUTIONS
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE HARMFUL TO
YOURSELF AND OTHERS. The user must therefore be
educated against the hazards, summarized below, deriv-
ing from welding operations. For more detailed informa-
tion, order the manual code 3.300.758
ELECTRIC SHOCK - May be fatal.
• Install and earth the welding machine according
to the applicable regulations.
• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes
with bare skin, gloves or wet clothing.
• Isolate yourselves from both the earth and the work-
piece.
• Make sure your working position is safe.
FUMES AND GASES - May be hazardous to your health.
• Keep your head away from fumes.
• Work in the presence of adequate ventilation,
and use ventilators around the arc to prevent
gases from forming in the work area.
ARC RAYS - May injure the eyes and burn the skin.
• Protect your eyes with welding masks fitted with
filtered lenses, and protect your body with appro-
priate safety garments.
• Protect others by installing adequate shields or cur-
tains.
RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS
• Sparks (sprays) may cause fires and burn the
skin; you should therefore make sure there are no
flammable materials in the area, and wear appro-
priate protective garments.
NOISE
This machine does not directly produce noise
exceeding 80dB. The plasma cutting/welding pro-
cedure may produce noise levels beyond said
limit; users must therefore implement all precautions
required by law.
PACEMAKERS
• The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect
the operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vital electronic
equipment (pacemakers) should consult their physician
before beginning any arc welding, cutting, gouging or
spot welding operations.
EXPLOSIONS
• Do not weld in the vicinity of containers under pres-
sure, or in the presence of explosive dust, gases or
fumes. • All cylinders and pressure regulators used
in welding operations should be handled with care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

IP23 C.
Protection rating for the housing.
Grade 3 as the second digit means that this
equipment is suitable for use outdoors in the
rain.The additional letter C means that the
equipment is protected against access to
the live parts of the power circuit by a tool
(diameter 2.5 mm ).
Suitable for use in high-risk environments.
NOTE: The welding machine has also been designed for
use in environments with a pollution rating of 3. (See IEC
664).
