ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
WELDING OPERATIONS:
In environments with increased risk of electric shock;
In confined spaces;
In the presence of flammable or explosive materials;
MUST BE evaluated in advance by an “expert supervisor” and must always be
carried out in the presence of other people trained to intervene in emergencies.
POSITION and HANDLING
Position the welding machine on a horizontal surface that is able to support the
weight: otherwise (e.g. inclined or uneven floors etc.) there is danger of over-
turning.
The welder MUST NOT be supported by the operator (e.g using belts).
The operator MUST NOT BE ALLOWED to weld in raised positions unless safety
platforms are used.
VOLTAGE BETWEEN ELECTRODE HOLDERS OR TORCHES
:
Working with more than one welding machine on a single piece or on pieces that
are connected may generate a dangerous accumulation of no-load voltage be-
tween two different electrode holders or torches, the value of which may reach
double the allowed limit.
IMPROPER USE:
It is hazardous to use the welding machine for any work other than that for
which it was designed. Example do not use this welder for pipe thawing. The
safety guards and moving parts of the covering of the welding machine and of
the wire feeder should be in their proper positions before connecting the welding
machine to the power supply.
WARNING!
Any manual operation carried out on the moving parts of the wire feeder, for
example:
Replacing rollers and/or the wire guide;
Inserting wire in the rollers;
Loading the wire reel;
Cleaning the rollers and the area underneath them.
Should be carried out with the welding machine switched off and disconnected
from the power supply outlet . Never lift the welding machine when connected to
the mains supply.
