of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Always read the safety, operating and
maintenance instructions before you start
operating your power tool. Keep the instruction manual

General
It is your responsibility to follow these preventive
measures in order to ensure your own safety. Always
operate the inverter welder carefully and responsibly.
In using the appliance, you accept full responsibility for
any accidents caused to third parties or their goods
during its use.
The power tool may only be used by people who have
read the instruction manual and are familiar with its
handling. Before operating the inverter welder for the
first time, users should be instructed by the seller or any
other qualified person on how to use it. Users must
ensure they are instructed adequately and practically.
The instruction manual is considered an integral part of
the inverter welder and must always be made available
alongside the product.
Familiarize yourself with the control devices and use of
the power tool. In particular, the user must know how
to quickly stop the appliance.
Stay alert and use common sense while working with a
power tool. A moment of inattention can result in
serious injury.
Do not use the inverter welder if you are not both
physically and mentally well. Do not use it while you are
tired or under the influence of medication, drugs or
alcohol. If you have a health problem, ask your doctor if
it is safe for you to use the inverter welder before doing
so.
People who use cardiac devices (pacemakers) should
not use this type of power tool or stand next to them
without medical advice.
Never allow the inverter welder to be used by children,
individuals with limited physical, sensory or mental
abilities, individuals with lack of experience and
knowledge of the inverter welder, or others unfamiliar
with the use instructions.
The inverter welder may only be used as stated in
this instruction manual. Any other use, which may
be dangerous and may cause injury to the user or
damage to the inverter welder, is not permitted.
Do not overload and misuse the power tool. The use of
the power tool for purposes other than those intended
and the improper use of accessories can result in
hazardous situations.
For safety reasons, any alteration to the inverter welder
other
than installing attachments specifically

due to high power consumption. Operating the inverter
in a residential area may cause other appliances to
breakdown.

cables, near the inverter;
▪
TV and radio transmitters and receivers;
▪
Computers and other control units;
