INFORMATION  

 

3.1  General Safety Instructions

 Warning! Read all safety warnings and all 

instructions. When using electric tools basic safety 

precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk 

of fire, electric shock, and personal injury including the 

following.

Read all these instructions before attempting to operate 

this product and save these instructions.

Electric shock can kill:
–  Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out 

adjustment, servicing, or maintenance.

–  Allow 5 minutes waiting time for the capacitors to 

discharge before removing the panels for any 

maintenance operations

–  Do not touch live electrical parts.
–  Never use electrode holders or cables with damaged 

or deteriorated insulation.

–  Keep the working environment, equipment, cables, 

and clothing free from grease, oil, moisture, and dirt.

–  Ensure the welding machine has been correctly 

earthed and all panels are fitted securely.

–  The operator must be insulated from the floor and 

workbench using a dry insulation mat.

–  Wear isolating footwear and gloves that are in good 

condition, i.e. without holes.

–  In hazardous conditions of increased electric shock 

always ensure a second person is present in case of 

an accident.

–  Never change electrodes with bare hands or damp 

gloves (for ARC/MMA welders).

–  Keep welding cables away from power cables.
–  Regularly inspect the condition of the welding, earth, 

and power cables for signs of damage.

–  Do not leave the machine unattended and remove 

the plug from the socket when not in use.

–  Do not use welding cables unsuitable for the 

amperage.

–  Ensure the earth clamp is adjacent to the weld seam, 

secured to bare metal and when not in use is 

insulated for safety.

–  Keep all equipment well maintained.
–  The operator shall prevent gas cylinders in the 

vicinity of the workpiece from becoming part of the 

welding circuit.

Fumes & Gases can be harmful:
–  The welding process generates hazardous fumes as 

a by-product. Inhalation of these fumes is hazardous 

to health.

–  Keep your head away from the weld to avoid 

breathing the fumes.

–  If welding in confined spaces ensure adequate 

ventilation and use a fume extractor.

–  Welding fumes displace oxygen. The danger of 

suffocation.

–  By-products of welding can react with other chemical 

vapours to produce a toxic/explosive environment.

Welding can cause fire or explosion:
–  Arc welding and allied processes can cause fire and 

explosions and precautions shall be  taken to 

prevent these hazards.
