Notes:

• Periodically inspect supply cable for any cracks or exposed wires. If it is not in good condition, 

have it repaired by a Service Center.

• Do not pull violently the input power cable to disconnect it from supply outlet.

• Do not squash the supply cable with other machines. It could be damaged and cause electric 

shock.

• Keep the supply cable away from heat sources, oils, solvents or sharp edges.

• In case you are using an extension cord, try to keep it straight, and untangled to avoid 

overheating.

For your safety, before connecting the power source to the line, closely follow these instructions:

• An adequate two-pole switch must be inserted before the main outlet. This switch must be 

equipped with time-delay fuses.

• The connection with ground must be made with a two-pole plug compatible with the above 

mentioned socket.

• When working in a confined space, the welder must be kept outside the welding area and the 

ground cable should be fixed to the workpiece. Never work in a damp or wet confined space.

• Do not use damaged input or welding cables.

• The welding torch should never be pointed at the operator’s or at other persons’ bodies.

• The welder must never be operated without its panels attached. This could cause serious injury 

to the operator and could damage the equipment.

California Proposition 65 Warnings

Welding or cutting equipment and processes produce fumes or gases which contain chemicals 

known to the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California 

Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)
