EN - INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Read this instruction manual carefully before
using welding machine.
The MMA and TIG coated electrode arc welding
systems referred to herein as “welding machine”
are
for industrial and professional use.
Make sure that the welding machine is installed only
by qualified persons or experts, in compliance with the
law and with the accident prevention regulation.
Make sure that the operator is trained in the use and
risks connected to the arc-welding process and in the
necessary measure of protection and emergency
procedures.
Safety warnings
- Make sure the power socket to which the welding
machine is connected is protected by suitable safety
devices (fuses or automatic switch) and that is
grounded.
- Make sure that the plug and power cable is in good
condition.
- Before plugging in to the power socket, make sure
that the welding machine is switched off.
- Switch the welding machine off and pull the plug out
of the power socket as soon as you have finished
working.
- Switch the welding machine off and pull the plug out
of the power socket before connecting the welding
cables, carrying out maintenance operations, or
moving it (use the carrying handle on the welding
machine).
- Do not touch any electrified parts without protection
devices or wet clothing. Insulate yourself from the
electrode, the piece to be welded and any grounded
accessible metal parts. Use gloves, foot ware and
clothing designed for this purpose and dry, non-
flammable insulating mats.
- Use the welding machine in a dry, ventilated space.
Do not expose the welding machine to the rain or
direct sunshine.
- Use the welding machine only if all panels and
guards are in place and mounted correctly.
- Do not use the welding machine if it has been
dropped or struck, as it may not be safe. Have it
checked by a qualified person or an expert.
- Eliminate any welding fumes through appropriate
natural ventilation or using a smoke exhauster. A
systematic approach must be used to assess the limits
of exposure to welding fumes, depending on their
composition, concentration and the length of exposure.
- Do not welding materials that have been cleaned with
chlorinated solvents or that have been near such
substances.
- Use a welding mask with an actinic glass suited for
welding. Replace the mask if damaged; it may let in
radiation.
- Ware fireproof gloves, foot ware and clothing to
protect the skin from the rays produced by the welding
arc and from sparks. Do not ware greasy garments as
a spark could set fire to them. Use protective screens
to protect people nearby.
- Do not allow bare skin to come into contact with hot
metal parts, such as the torch, electrode holder
grippers, electrode stubs, or freshly welded pieces.
Avoid people look directly to the welding arc without
protection.
- Metal-working gives off sparks and splinters. Wear
safety goggles with protective side eye guards or
welding mask.
- Welding sparks can trigger fires.
- Do not weld or cut anywhere near flammable
materials, gasses or vapours.
- Do not weld or cut containers, cylinders, tanks or
piping unless a qualified technician or expert has
checked that is possible to do so, or has made the
appropriate preparations.
- Remove the electrode for the electrode holder
gripper when you have completed the welding
operations. Make sure that no part of the electrode
holder gripper electric circuit touches the ground or
earth circuits: accidental contact could cause
overheating or trigger a fire.
- The magnetic fields deriving from the welding current
may interfere with electrical and electronic equipment.
People fitted with vital electrical devices (pacemakers,
etc.) should consult a doctor prior to coming into
contact with welding equipment.
- This welding machine satisfies the requirements of
the technical product standard exclusively for
professional and industrial use. Compliance with
