INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR CAPACITOR DISCARGE WELDING MACHINE
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 WEL-
DING OPERATIONS.
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE
HARMFUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. The
user must therefore be educated against the hazards, sum-
marized below, deriving from welding operations. For more
detailed information, order the manual code 3.300.758
NOISE
These power source alone do not produce noise
levels exceeding 80 dB. The welding procedure,
however, may produce noise levels in excess of
80 dB. in which case the machine operator must take the
necessary safety precautions as prescribed by the natio-
nal safety regulation.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS INFORMATION
· Electric current following through any con-
ductor causes localized Electric and Ma-
gnetic Fields (EMF). Welding/cutting current
creates EMF fields around cables and po
-
wer sources.
· The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect
the operation of pacemakers.
Pacemaker wearers are
prohibited from using the machine or approach the
cables
.
· Exposure to EMF fields in welding/cutting may have
other health effects which are now not known.
· All operators should use the followingprocedures in or-
der to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding/
cutting circuit:
- Route the electrode and work cables together
- Secure them with tape when possible.
- Never coil the electrode/torch lead around your body.
- Do not place your body between the electrode/torch
lead and work cables. If the electrode/torch lead
cable is on your right side, the work cable should also
be on your right side.
- Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded/cut.
- Do not work next to welding/cutting power source.
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.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT.
Do not dispose of electrical equipment together
with normal waste! Electrical equipment that has reached
the end of its life must be collected separately and re-
turned to an environmentally compatible recycling facil-
ity. As the owner of the equipment, you should get in-
formation on approved collection systems from our local
representative.
Extra precautions are to be observed when working
on elevated positions.
Electromagnetic compatibility
In Canada, the EMC classification does not apply to arc
welding power source.
Safety standards
To provide minimum requirements and recommenda-
tions to protect persons who work in an
environment affected by welding, cutting, and allied pro-
cesses see CAN/CSA-W117.2 standard.
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST ASSISTANCE
FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
