High frequency interference
!
!
WARNING!
The high frequency section of this machine has an output like a radio transmitter.
The power source should NOT be used near blasting operations due to the danger of
premature firing.
!!
WARNING!
Operation close to computer installations may cause computer malfunction.
!!
WARNING!
HIGH FREQUENCY FIELDS CAN BE DANGEROUS TO HEALTH. Extra precautions may be
required when this welding power source is used in a domestic situation. Welders with
medical pacemakers should consult their doctor before welding. EMF may interfere with
some pacemakers.
!!
WARNING!
Equipotential bonding:
Bonding of all metallic components in the welding installation and adjacent to it might
be considered. However, metallic components bonded to the work piece will increase the
risk that the operator could receive a shock by touching the metallic components and the
electrode at the same time. The operator should be insulated from all such bonded metallic
components.

!
WARNING!
Earthing/grounding of the work place:
Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the work piece increasing the risk of injury
to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Changing the earthing arrangements
should only be authorized by a person who is competent to assess whether the changes will
increase the risk of injury.
!!
WARNING!
The importance of correct installation of high frequency welding equipment cannot be
overemphasized. Interference due to high frequency initiated or stabilized arc is almost
invariably traced to improper installation. A duly authorized person such as a properly
licensed electrician should perform the installation to avoid injury, death, or any equipment
damage.
