1.2. Machine Operating warnings
The following symbols and words explanations are for some damages to your body or others,
which could happen during the welding operation. While seeing these symbols, please remind
yourself and others to be careful.
Only people who are trained professionally can install, debug, operate, maintain and repair the
welding equipment covered with this Operator’s Manual!
During the welding operation, non-concerned people should NOT be around, especially children!
After shutting off the machine power, please maintain and examine the equipment according to
§4 because of the DC voltage existing in the electrolytic capacitors at the output of the power
supply!
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work
circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and internal machine
circuits are also live when power is on. In Mig/Mag welding, the wire, drive rollers, wire feed
housing, and all metal parts touching the welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or
improperly grounded equipment is dangerous.
