1. Regulations for the prevention of accidents
The use of welding equipment and welding itself are always associated with a certain
security risk. Therefore each set up and operation of the device assumes that the instruction
manual is understood and complied. The properly used welding machine grants a high
degree of operational security but can, in case of improper handling, lead to property and
personal damage.
Be sure that you observe the following safety rules:
1.1 Connection of the power source
The installation and maintenance of the system must be carried out in accordance
with the general safety and accident prevention regulations of the legislature.
The state of the power cord and plug must be checked and any damage
eliminated. The electrical equipment must be tested at regular intervals. Use cables of
sufficient diameter.
The ground cable must be as close as possible to the work area of the work piece. Is
it connected directly to the building design or too far away from the work area, this
can lead to energy loss or discharging.
The system may not be used in damp areas and in no case encounter water or other
liquids.
Direct contact with hands or with wet clothing that might be under tension is to be
avoided. Make sure that your gloves and protective clothing are dry.
When working in damp rooms or on metal surfaces, use protective gloves and work
shoes with rubber soles.
The system has to be cut off at each interruption, even at sudden loss of power.
Accidental ground contact can lead to overheating of the system and cause a fire.
The system must therefore never be turned on without supervision.
