INTRODUCTION
SAFETY
• UPP® welding units must only be used outside hazardous areas (zones 0, 1 and2).
Hazardous area definitions are from European Directive 1999/92/EC (further guidelines can
be found in the APEA Blue Book 2nd Edition).Further guidelines are found in IEC 60079-10-
1, “Explosive atmospheres - Part 10-1: Classification of areas - Explosive gas atmospheres”
• The EF1 is designed for usage on construction sites and meets applicable European and
International safety standards. The machine should be handled with the care usually given
to electrical equipment, especially during transport.
• Each time it is used, check the condition of the machine, particularly the mains power cable.
If any damage is discovered, contact the supplier immediately and do not use the machine.
• Check the state of the welding cables before use and replace them if there is any doubt
about their condition.
• Protect the welder from getting wet.
• Always check that the power source is within the parameters below before using the EF1.
• Never lift or pull the machine by its power cable or the welding cables. Never disconnect
welding cables by pulling the cable; always pull off the connectors.
• Never re-weld a fitting that is still warm. Serious fire or burn damage can occur and hot
material may be ejected from the weld zone.
Power conducting elements may become
exposed creating an electrical shock hazard.
