• In environments classified as hazardous, use only welding machines with the S mark and a safe level of idle voltage.
These working environments include, for example, small spaces, humid or hot spaces in which the user will be directly
exposed to the surrounding conductive parts.
• You must be careful to prevent the unit from tipping over if the welding power is tilted.
• It is forbidden to use the power plug to thaw the network.
• Isolate yourself from the welding circuit using dry equipment and unprotected protective clothing.
• Never touch the work piece and work rod, welding electrode or contact tip at the same time.
• Avoid placing the electrode holder on the welding machine and other electrical equipment.
5. Transport, lifting and suspension
• Never press or lift the machine with an electrode holder or other parts. Always use lifting points or handles designed
for this function.
• Use only a protective platform designed for the equipment.
• Always try to transport the machine upright if possible.
• Never use a welding machine while it is hanging.
• Never exceed the maximum permissible limit for the load of wheels, suspensions or carts of welding equipment.
6. Environment
• When the action of the operator is limited by the environment (in particular: could only work when lowered on the
knees, on the floor or even lying down), any direct contact with the room carrying the current should be avoided with
the body .
• Do not use the machine when the environmental operating space is very narrow and would not allow the user to work
safely.
• Avoid using the machine in a humid environment in which operators can sweat and this is a high risk of electrocution.
• Avoid welding in a dusty environment under a corrosive gas environment.
• For welding machines intended to perform welds with a gas supply, avoid carrying out the welding work under a large
air flow environment.
• The inclination between the placement and the welding machine and the flat horizon is ≤10 °.
• The welding power source is not suitable for use in rain or snow, although it could use and store outdoors. Protect the
environment against rain, water and the sun very strong.
• Store the machine in a dry and clean area. Protect against rain and temperatures should not reach + 25 ° C in direct
sunlight.
• Protect the machine against sand and dust during use and storage.
• Place the machine so that it is not exposed to hot surfaces, sparks or splashes.
• Ensure that the flow of air and from and to the machine is unlimited.
• The EMC classification for this product is Class A in accordance with EN 60974-10 for electromagnetic compatibility.
The product is therefore designed to be used only in an industrial environment.
• Arc welding equipment still creates electromagnetic problems in hospitals. To minimize the hazardous effects, only
use the equipment in accordance with the instruction manual and other recommendations.
WARNING: This Class A equipment is not intended for use in private homes having a power supply provided by a low
voltage power system. In such locations, it may be difficult to ensure electromagnetic compatibility due to radiation and
driving problems.
Make sure that the welding rod is placed according to the following instructions:
