- Remove the electrode from 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
electromagnetic compatibility for domestic use is not
guaranteed.
- The welding machine is installed and used under
your own responsibility. In the event of
electromagnetic disturbance, this should be reduced
so that it does not cause problems. Ask a competent
expert for technical assistance if required.
Welding in conditions of risk
- If welding needs to be done in conditions of risk
(electric discharges, suffocation, the presence of
inflammable or explosive materials), make sure that
an authorised expert evaluates the conditions
beforehand. Make sure that trained people are
present who can intervene in the event of an
emergency. Use protective equipment described in
the IEC or CLC/TS 62081 technical specification.
- If you are required to work in a position raised above
ground level, always use a safety platform.
- If more than one welding machine has to be used on
the same piece, or in any case on pieces connected
electrically, the sum of the no-load voltages on the
electrode holders or on the torches may exceed the
safety levels. Make sure that an authorised expert
evaluates the conditions beforehand to see if such
risk exists and adopt the protective measures
described in 5.9 of the IEX or CLC/TS 62081
technical specification if required.
3.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARC-WELDERS
- Do not use the welding machine for purposes other
than those described. For example to thaw frozen
water pipes.
- Place the welding machine on a flat stable surface.
and make sure that it cannot move. It must be
positioned in such a way as to allow it to be
controlled during use but without the risk of being
covered with welding sparks.
- Do not work with the welding machine hung from the
body, using straps or any other device.
- Do not lift the welding machine. No lifting devices are
fitted on the machine.
- Do not use cables with damaged insulation or loose
connections.
