Safety precautions

The equipment is designed for the qualified personnel who have passed professional
training. The operator shall have sufficient professional knowledge of welding, cutting
and circuit, and have obtained the qualification certificate of welder. Only operate the
machine after reading and fully understanding all the safety precautions and warnings
in the manual and of welding operations. Basic safety precautions should always be
followed when using tools, to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to
equipment. The device is simple and reliable in selecting and performing all of its
functions. The operator must strictly follow the safety precautions below and execute
them as required. Improper use and maintenance will reduce the safety performance
of the machine.

1.

The operator must have passed the systematic training and assessment of local

welder's relevant learning institution and obtained the qualified certificate before
operating the equipment.

2.

The wire and cable connection of the equipment, as well as the installation, must

be operated by qualified professional and technical personnel.

3.

The welding and cutting protective equipment used by the operator must be

provided by the manufacturer or distributor approved by the national safety
supervision department of the local country.

4.

Welding and cutting is dangerous work, which may cause harm to you or others,

so sufficient protection should be done during welding and cutting. Please strictly
abide by the relevant safety precautions of the job operation. For more details, please
refer to the relevant safety guidelines for the operators to comply with the
manufacturer's regulations on accident prevention.

5.

Please make sure that the welding/cutting machine is reliably grounded when

working. Please contact the professional electrician to solve the problems in time if
there is any doubt that the socket is not grounded or the grounding is not reliable.

6.

Before welding/cutting , check whether the insulation layer of all wires and cables

of the machine is damaged or they are wrongly connected timely and fix them in a
timely manner if they are.

7.

The faulty machine must be repaired by professional technicians. The machine

must be disconnected from the electricity supply before repair and maintenance.
