Page: 9 / 76

WEIGHT LOADS
The upper part of the Welder was not de -
signed to withstand heavy loads. Never
stand on the unit.
CABLE GAUGES
Check that all cables are appropriately
gauged for the input power required by
your specific Welder. This precaution ap -
plies also to extension cables, if used. All
extension cables must be straight. Coiled
cables can overheat, becoming dangerous.
Twisted or coiled cables can also cause
Welder malfunction.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Check that the power source supplying
the Welder carries the correct voltage
and is safely-protected. The power switch
must open all the power supply circuits.
(If a single-phase connection is used,
both the live and the neutral poles must
be open. If a three-wire connection is
used, all three poles must be open. Four-
wire circuits require all poles and neutral
open). Time-delayed fuses or k-standard
circuit breakers should be used.
EARTHING
If the Welder was not already supplied
with a plug, connect the earth wire first.
When removing the plug, disconnect the
earth wire last.
PLUG AND POWER SUPPLY
If the Welder already has a plug attached,
check that it is appropriate for the
wall-socket you intend using. Never tam -
per with the power cable.
CABLE COLORS
The green-yellow wire is for earthing.
(Don’t use it for anything else !).
RELOCATION
Some Welders are extremely heavy there -
fore care should be taken when relocat -
ing the unit. Check the floor or platform
weight load limitations before relocating
the unit if the Welder is to be used, even
only temporarily, in a non-industrial envi -
ronment.
Never store or move the Welder in an in -
clined position or on its side.
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
The equipment is not suitable for use in
washrooms, shower cubicles, pool ar -
eas or similar environments. If you are
obliged to use the unit in such areas, turn
off all water supplies and check the area
has been evacuated.
The Welder was not designed for instal -
lation or use in areas where it could be
subject to blows or vibration, such as road
vehicles, railway carriages, cable-cars,
aircraft, ships or boats or similar environ -
ments (including cranes, conveyor-carri -
ers or any other mobile equipment prone
to vibration).
The Welder should never be used or
stored in the rain or in snow.
Never use the Welder in an explosive, cor -
rosive, abrasive or saline environment.
EXTINGUISHER
Always place an approved fire extin -
guisher in the immediate vicinity of the
work area. Fire extinguishers should be
checked regularly.
LOCATION
Place the Welder well away from heat
sources. Place the Welder in a well-ven -
tilated environment. Place the Welder in
a safe, protected area. It must not be in -
stalled outdoors. Do not install the Weld -
er in dusty environments. Dust can get
into the inner parts of the unit and inhibit
cooling. The Welder must be positioned
on a flat, stable surface that extends fur -
ther than the units own dimensions in all
directions. In case of use on a oblique sur -
face is recommended an adequate fixing
in order to avoid the machine slides.
CLEAN LOCATIONS
The installation area must be kept clean
and dry to be sure the Welder fans do not
draw in small objects or liquids. Not only
could the equipment malfunction but a
serious risk of fire outbreak could be cre -
ated.
REPAIRS
Never attempt to repair the Welder your -
self. Always refer to the manufacturer or
an authorized repairer. All warranty pro -
visions will immediately become null and
void if any repair, or attempt to repair,
not specifically authorized in writing or
handled by the constructor is carried out.
Furthermore, the constructor will accept
no responsibility for any malfunction or
damage resulting as a consequence of
such unauthorized action.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The Welder must be taken to an autho -
rized Technical Assistance Centre if the
equipment has been damaged in any way
or if any one of the following events oc -
curs: liquid infiltration; damage caused
by falling objects; exposure to rain or
humidity (exceeding the specified limits);
