2�2 Safety precautions during operation
Cleanliness
:
• Use clean and dry low-pressure air to blow dust and dirt from the outer shell and interior. Clean the dirt,
dregs and grime from the head of welding tongs. In order to ensure enough circulating air and provide
proper cooling, it is necessary to keep the airways on the machine clear.
• Check if the insulation of cable has been frayed, if the cable has become frayed, you must replace it before
use.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Protective clothing
: Please wear the appropriate protective clothing when welding:
• A welding helmet, face shield and protective goggles must be worn when in the working area.
•
The appropriate face shield with filter and skin face shall be used to protect eyes, face, neck, and ears from
electrical spark and the arc ray.
• The user should not directly watch the arc and must also keep a safe distance away from the arc ray and
splash.
• The appropriate protective clothing, shoes and helmet shall be worn to protect from arc ray, spraying and
splattering.
• All the buttons shall be done up to avoid the sparking and splattering from coming into contact with the body.
•
A non-flammable partition and door curtain shall be used to protect other workers from the electric ray and
sparking.
• Protective goggles must be worn when cleaning welding spatter.
F
ire and explosion
: The heat of frame and arc can cause fire.
•
Keep the flammable materials including wood, cloth, liquid fuel and petrol etc. away from the welding
working area.
•
All the walls and floor in the working area should be free of any material in order to avoid smouldering and
fire.
• Ensure that all the working pieces are cleared before welding, and do not do weld on a sealed container.
•
Fire-fighting equipment should be positioned near the welding working area.
• Do not use the equipment such that it overloads.
Electric shock
: Please do not use the welding source in the wet or wet areas to avoid any injury or death.
• Ensure the source underpan and earthing system of the input source is connected.
• You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices.
An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We
also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly
important to use an RCD together with portable products that are plugged into an electrical supply not
protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
• Always change the damaged or scuffed cable before using the machine.
• Keep dry, including any cloth, working area, wire, welding torch, soldering turret and power supply.
• Keep the body insulated from the work piece.
• The operator should stand on a dry wooden board or insulating platform of rubble shoes when working in a
sealed on moist area.
• Dry and sealed gloves should be worn before turning on the power.
