2.2 Installation and Operation Recommendations
• For a better performance, place the machine at least 30 cm away from the surrounding objects. Pay attention
to overheating, dust and moisture near the machine.
• Do not operate the machine under direct sunlight. If the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C, operate the
machine at a lower current or a lower duty cycle.
• Avoid welding outdoors in windy and rainy weather circumstances. If welding is necessary in such cases,
protect the welding area and the welding machine with a curtain and canopy. If you weld indoors, use a
suitable fume extraction system. Use breathing apparatus if there is a risk of inhaling welding fumes and gas
in confined spaces.
• Observe the duty cycle rates specified on the product label. Exceeding duty cycle rates can damage the
machine and this may invalidate the warranty.
• Use the fuse that is compliant with your system.
• Secure the ground cable as close as possible to the welding area.
• Do not allow the welding current to pass through equipment other than the welding cables.
• Secure the gas cylinder to the wall with a chain.
• The welding cables and the mains cable must not be wrapped in the machine housing during operation.

should be taken. Specialists are responsible for the machine and have to be equipped with the necessary
equipment and those who are not relevant should be kept away from the welding area.

The safety symbols and warning notes on the device and in the operating instructions must be observed
