2. COMMISSIONING
WARNING! Please, read p.11 Safety Rules before commissioning
.
2.1 INTENDED USE
The welding machine is intended for manual metal arc welding only.
Any other use of the machine is inappropriate. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage caused by inappropriate use of the machine.
Using as intended means to observe the instructions in this operation manual.
WARNING! Do not use the welding machine to defrost pipes.
2.2 ENVIRONMENT
The welding machine is protected against the penetration of solid foreign bodies
with a diameter of more than 5.5 mm.
The welding machine can be used outdoors. The electrical parts inside the
machine are protected against moisture.
WARNING!
Do not turn off the machine immediately after welding in hot weather
or intensive welding in any weather! Let the electronic components cool down for 5
minutes.
WARNING! When you use the machine in cold weather, please, remember that
after the machine is turned off and cooled down, condensate is formed inside of it.
So, it can be turned on again only 3-4 hours after!!!
Therefore, do not turn off the machine in the cold season if you plan to use it again
less than 4 hours after.
WARNING! The machine can become life-threatening after falling down. Put it
on a stable solid surface.
Put the machine in such a way to ensure free flow of cooling air through the
ventilation holes on the front and rear panels. Make sure that metal dust (for example,
during emery grinding) is not sucked into the machine by the cooling fan.
