FIRE OR EXPLOSION hazard.

D

Do not install or place unit on, over, or near

combustible surfaces.

D

Do not install unit near flammables.

D

Do not overload building wiring 

 be sure power supply system is

properly sized, rated, and protected to handle this unit.

FALLING UNIT can cause injury.

D

Use lifting eye to lift unit only, NOT running

gear, gas cylinders, or any other accessories.

D

Use equipment of adequate capacity to lift and

support unit.

D

If using lift forks to move unit, be sure forks are

long enough to extend beyond opposite side of

unit.

OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING

D

Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.

D

Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before

starting to weld again.

D

Do not block or filter airflow to unit.

FLYING SPARKS can cause injury.

D

Wear a face shield to protect eyes and face.

D

Shape tungsten electrode only on grinder with

proper guards in a safe location wearing proper

face, hand, and body protection.

D

Sparks can cause fires — keep flammables away.

STATIC (ESD) can damage PC  boards.

D

Put on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling

boards or parts.

D

Use proper static-proof bags and boxes to

store, move, or ship PC boards.

MOVING PARTS can cause injury.

D

Keep away from moving parts.

D

Keep away from pinch points such as drive

rolls.

WELDING WIRE can cause injury.

D

Do not press gun trigger until instructed to do

so.

D

Do not point gun toward any part of the body,

other people, or any metal when threading

welding wire.

MOVING PARTS can cause injury.

D

Keep away from moving parts such as fans.

D

Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards

closed and securely in place.

D

Have only qualified persons remove doors, panels, covers, or

guards for maintenance as necessary.

D

Reinstall doors, panels, covers, or guards when maintenance is

finished and before reconnecting input power.

READ INSTRUCTIONS.

D

Read Owner’s Manual before using or servic-

ing unit.

D

Use only genuine replacement parts from the

manufacturer.

H.F. RADIATION can cause interference.

D

High-frequency (H.F.) can interfere with radio

navigation, safety services, computers, and

communications equipment.

D

Have only qualified persons familiar with

electronic equipment perform this installation.

D

The user is responsible for having a qualified electrician prompt-

ly correct any interference problem resulting from the installa-

tion.

D

If notified by the FCC about interference, stop using the

equipment at once.

D

Have the installation regularly checked and maintained.

D

Keep high-frequency source doors and panels tightly shut, keep

spark gaps at correct setting, and use grounding and shielding to

minimize the possibility of interference.

ARC WELDING can cause interference.

D

Electromagnetic energy can interfere with

sensitive electronic equipment such as

computers and computer-driven equipment

such as robots.

D

Be sure all equipment in the welding area is

electromagnetically compatible.

D

To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as

possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor.

D

Locate welding operation  100 meters from any sensitive elec-

tronic equipment.

D

Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded

according to this manual.

D

If interference still occurs, the user must take extra measures

such as moving the welding machine, using shielded cables,

using line filters, or shielding the work area.
