SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The working environment
Ensure the machine is mounted in a safe and stable position allowing for cooling air circulation.
Do not operate equipment in an environment outside the laid down operating parameters.
The welding power source is not suitable for use in rain or snow.
Always store the machine in a clean, dry space.
Ensure the equipment is kept clean from dust build up.
Always use the machine in an upright position.
Protection from moving parts
When the machine is in operation keep away from moving parts such as motors and fans.
Moving parts, such as the fan, may cut fingers and hands and snag garments.
Protections and coverings may be removed for maintenance and managed only by qualified
personnel after first disconnecting the power supply cable.
Replace the coverings and protections and close all doors when the intervention is finished and before
starting the equipment.
Take care to avoid getting fingers trapped when loading and feeding wire during set up and operation.
When feeding wire be careful to avoid pointing it at other people or towards your body.
Always ensure machine covers and protective devices are in operation.
Risks due to magnetic fields
The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect the operation of pacemakers or
electronically controlled medical equipment.
Wearers of vital electronic equipment should consult their physician before beginning any arc
welding, cutting, gouging or spot welding operations.
Do not go near welding equipment with any sensitive electronic equipment as the magnetic
fields may cause damage.
Keep the torch cable and work return cable as close to each other as possible throughout their length.
This can help minimise your exposure to harmful magnetic fields.
Do not wrap the cables around the body.
Handling of compressed gas cylinders and regulators
Mishandling gas cylinders can lead to rupture and the release of high pressure gas.
Always check the gas cylinder is the correct type for the welding to be carried out.
Always store and use cylinders in an upright and secure position.
All cylinders and pressure regulators used in welding operations should be handled with care.
Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “ hot ” parts to touch a
cylinder.
Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
Always secure the cylinder safely and never move with regulator and hoses connected.
Use a suitable trolley for moving cylinders.
Regularly check all connections and joints for leaks.
Full and empty cylinders should be stored separately.
Never deface or alter any cylinder
