Rain, steam,
humidity
The working environment must be clean (degree of pollution ≤ 3) and protected against rain. Put the appliance on an even
place and at least at one meter from the parts to be welded. Do not use in rain or snow.
Electric shocks
This appliance must not be used on a single phase power supply. Do not touch the spare parts when the unit is still
connected to the mains. Check the electrical network corresponds to the machine.
Moving
Do not underestimate the weight of the apparatus. Do not carry it over people or things. Do not drop it. Do not set it down
brutally
Burns
Wear protective or fire-proof clothing (overalls, jeans).
Use some welder gloves and a fire-proof apron.
Protect the others by installing non flammable protection wall , or prevent the others to not look at the arc and to keep a
sufficient distance
Fire risks
Suppress all flammable products from the working area. Do not works near flammable gas.
Smokes
Do not inhale gas or welding smokes. If indoors ventilate the area well and/or use local extraction ventilation equipment to
remove fumes and gases.
Extra precautions
Any welding operation :
- in environments with increased risk of electric shock,
- in confined spaces,
- in the presence of flammable or explosive materials must be evaluated in advance by an “expert supervisor” and must
always be carried out in the presence of other people trained to intervene in case of emergency.
Technical protection measures MUST BE taken as described in the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION "IEC 62081".
Welding in raised positions is forbidden unless safety platforms are used.
The persons carrying pacemaker have to consult a doctor before using these machines
Do not use the unit to thaw tubing.
In TIG welding, manipulate the gas bottle carefully. Indeed, there are risks if the bottle or the bottle valve are damaged.
