4. MAINTENANCE
All cables must be inspected regularly to ensure that no danger exists from worn or
damaged insulation or from unsound electrical connections. Special note should be made
of the cables close to the pistol, where maximum wear occurs. As well as producing
inconsistent welds, worn cables can overheat or spark, giving rise to the risk of fire.
5. LIMITATIONS OF USE
The mass of the welding controller is between 11 and 13.3kg dependant on the model
purchased and as such is suitable to be manhandled. The controller is not suitable for use in
rain or snow or in an environment with increased risk of electric shock.
6. TRAINING
Use of the equipment must be limited to authorised personnel only who must be suitably
trained and must have read and understood this manual. This manual must be made
available to all operators at all times. Further copies of this manual may be purchased from
the manufacturer. Measures must be taken to prevent the use of this equipment by
unauthorised personnel.
7. INSTALLATION
Ensure that the site chosen for the equipment is able to support the weight of the
equipment and that it will not fall or cause a danger in the course of its normal operation.
Do not hang connecting cables over sharp edges and do not install connecting cables near
heat sources or via traffic routes where people may trip over them or they may be
damaged by the passage of vehicles (forklifts etc.)
8. INTERFERENCE
During welding operations, intense magnetic and electrical fields are unavoidably produced
and these may interfere with other sensitive Electronic equipment.
All Taylor Studwelding equipment is designed, manufactured and tested to conform the
current appropriate European standards and directives regarding electromagnetic
emissions and immunity and as such is safe to use in any normal environment.
