WARNING:
READ THE MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE WELDING MACHINE
This welding machine conforms to technical product standards for exclusive use in an industrial
environment and for professional purposes.
1 . GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS FOR ARC WELDING
The operator should be properly trained to use the welding machine safely and should be informed about the
risks related to arc welding procedures, the appropriate protection measures and emergency procedures.
Danger of Electric Shock:
Avoid direct contact with the welding circuit: the no-load voltage supplied by the welding machine can be dangerous
under certain circumstances.
- When the welding cables are being connected or checks and repairs are carried out, the welding machine should be
switched off and disconnected from the power supply outlet.
- Switch off the welding machine and disconnect it from the power supply outlet before replacing consumable torch
parts.
- Make the electrical connections and installation according to the safety rules and legislation in force.
- The welding machine should be connected only and exclusively to a power source with the neutral lead connected
to earth.
- Make sure that the power supply plug is correctly connected to the earth protection outlet.
- Do not use the welding machine in damp or wet places and do not weld in the rain.
- Do not use cables with worn insulation or loose connections.
- Always wear dry protection gloves and clothes
- Never touch electric parts with bare hands
- Make sure your position when welding is safe and comfortable.
- Make sure you are properly isolated from the floor and from the working place.
Poisonous fumes, danger of explosion and fire:
- Do not weld on containers or piping that contains or has contained flammable liquid or gaseous products.
- Do not operate on materials cleaned with chlorinated solvents or near such substances.
- Do not weld on containers under pressure.
- Remove all flammable materials (e.g. wood, paper, rags etc.) from the working area.
- Provide adequate ventilation or facilities for the removal of welding fumes near the arc; a systematic approach is
needed in evaluating the exposure limits for the welding fumes, which will depend on their composition, concentration
and the length of exposure itself.
- Keep the gas bottle (if used) away from heat sources, including direct sunlight
Radiation can be harmful for your eyes and skin!
- Use adequate electrical insulation with regard to the electrode, the work piece and any (accessible) earthed metal
parts in the vicinity. This is normally achieved by wearing gloves, shoes, head coverings and clothing designed for this
purpose and by using insulating platforms or mats.
