Electrical Safety
WARNING! Switch off and remove the plug from the mains before adjusting,
cleaning or if the cable is cut, damaged or entangled.
This welding unit is Class 1 and requires an earthed (grounded) connection. An earth
spike must be used with generators.
This unit is supplied in either 110 volt or 230 volt operation.
Check the rating plate
on the side of the unit for the correct supply voltage.
The power source must be capable of providing 3500 Watts.
Extension cables should only be used if they comply with the H07RNF harmonized
standard. They must be fitted with connectors to the BS EN 60309-2 standard. All
cables must be unwound from the reel to stop inductive heating effects. The cable
dimensions should be as follows:
It is recommended for increased electrical safety to use a Residual Current Device
(RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your RCD every
time you use it.
The supply cable must be inspected for signs of damage before each use and the
equipment may only be used if in perfect condition. Damaged cables must be
replaced by an approved service agent.
This equipment is classified as “Portable for use on industrial applications”, and
must undergo a formal electrical safety check (Portable Appliance Test) as per local
regulations.
