malfunction; performance failure or if the
equipment has been dropped.
SPARE PARTS
Use only manufacturer-recommended
spare parts. Other spare parts could
cause equipment malfunction. The use
of non-original spare parts will also re -
sult in the warranty provisions becoming
null and void, releasing the manufacturer
from any responsibility for malfunction
or damage resulting as a consequence of
such action.
WELDING OPERATION SAFETY IN -
STRUCTIONS
CAUTION! Welding processes can be
dangerous for the opera-tor and bystand -
ers if the safety warnings and instructions
are not heeded.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Together with the previous instructions, the
following precautions should be strictly ob-
served.
PROTECTION MASk
Wear a protective non-flammable weld -
ing mask to protect your neck, your face
and the sides of your head. keep the front
lens clean and replace it if it is broken or
cracked. Place a transparent protection
glass between the mask and the welding
area.
CLOTHING
Wear close-fitting, closed, non-flamma -
ble, pocketless clothing.
VENTILATION
Weld in a well-ventilated environment
that does not have direct access to other
work areas.
EYE PROTECTION
Never look at the arc without appropriate
eye protection.
FUMES AND GASES
Clean away paint, rust or any other dirt
from the item to be cut to avoid the cre -
ation of dangerous fumes.
Never cut on metals containing zinc, mer -
cury, chromium, graphite, heavy metals,
cadmium or beryllium unless the opera -
tor and the bystanders use appropriate
air-supplied respirators.
HIGH VOLTAGE PROTECTION
Together with the previous instructions, the
following precautions should be strictly ob-
served.
CONFINED SPACES
When welding in small environments,
leave the power source outside the area
where welding will take place and attach
the grounding clamp to the part to be
welded.
HUMIDITY
Never weld in wet or humid environments.
DAMAGED CABLES
Never use damaged cables. (This applies
to both the power and the welding ca -
bles.)
Never remove the unit side panels. If
the side panels can be opened, always
checked they are closed tightly before
starting any work.
FIRE PREVENTION
Together with the previous instructions, the
following precautions should be strictly ob-
served. Welding operations require high tem-
peratures therefore the risk of fire is great.
WORK-AREA FLOORING
The work-area flooring MUST be fire -
proof.
WORK-AREA SURFACES
Work benches or tables used during weld -
ing MUST have fireproof surfaces.
WALL AND FLOOR PROTECTION
The walls and flooring surrounding the
cut environment must be shielded using
non-flammable materials. This not only
reduces the risk of fire but also avoids
damage to the walls and floors during cut
processes.
EXTINGUISHER
Place an approved and appropriate -
ly-sized fire extinguisher in the work en -
vironment. Check its working order reg -
ularly (carry out scheduled inspections)
and ensure that all parties involved know
how to use one.
CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
Remove all flammable materials away
from the work environment.
SERIOUS DANGER!
NEvER cut in confined spaces (e.g. in a
container vehicle, a cistern or a storeroom
etc.) where toxic, inflammable or explo -
sive materials are, or have been, located
or stored. Cisterns, in particular, may still
contain toxic, flammable or explosive gas -
es and vapors years after they have been
emptied.
