A comprehensive range of CLARKE safety equipment for use when welding is 
available from your local dealer.

Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently 
installed welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding 
should be electrically continuous throughout its length.

The shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good 
electrical contact is maintained between the conduit and the welding power 
source enclosure.

The welding equipment should be routinely maintained according to the 
manufacturer’s recommendations. All access and service doors and covers 
should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equipment is in 
operation. The welding equipment should not be modified in any way except 
for those changes and adjustments covered in the manufacturer’s 
instructions. In particular, the spark gaps of arc striking and stabilizing devices 
should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturers 
recommendations.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

The following symbols may be displayed on the machine.

Read this instruction 
booklet carefully 
before use.

Do not expose to rain.

Wear eye protection

Recycle unwanted 
materials instead of 
disposing of them as 
waste. All tools, 
accessories and 
packaging should be 
sorted, taken to a 
recycling centre and 
disposed of in a manner 
which is compatible 
with the environment.

Wear protective gloves

Wear a dust mask
