WELDING INSTRUCTIONS

not lit. Turn the battery disconnect switch to OFF position, and remove the key.
• Do not apply a voltage higher than 200 V continuously.
• Connect grounding cable within 1 m of the area to be welded. If grounding cable is connected near instru-
ments, connectors, etc., the instruments may malfunction.
• Prevent seals, bearings or bushings from entering the space between the weld zone and grounding point.
Seals and the like can cause damage to the nearby parts by catching fire from sparks.

drop nuts, bolts, or tools inside the machine.
If such things are dropped inside the machine, it may cause damage and/or malfunction of the machine,
and will lead to failure. If anything drops, be sure to take it out.
• Do not put unnecessary things in your pockets. Carry only things which are necessary for inspection.
