IMPORTANT
: BEFORE STARTING THE
EQUIPMENT, READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS
MANUAL, WHICH MUST BE STORED IN A
PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL USERS FOR THE
ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE
MACHINE. THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED
SOLELY FOR WELDING OPERATIONS.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE
HARMFUL TO YOURSELF
AND OTHERS.
The user must therefore be
educated against the hazards, summarized below,
deriving from welding operations. For more
detailed information, order the manual code
3.300.758.
NOISE.
This machine does not directly produce
noise exceeding 80dB. The plasma
cutting/welding procedure may produce
noise levels beyond said limit; users must therefore
implement all precautions required by law.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS.
May be dangerous.
Electric current following through
any conductor causes localized
Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF).
Welding/cutting current creates EMF fields around
cables and power sources.
The magnetic fields created by high currents may
affect the operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vital
electronic equipment (pacemakers) shall consult
their physician before beginning any arc welding,
cutting, gouging or spot welding operations.
Exposure to EMF fields in welding/cutting may
have other health effects which are now not known.
All operators should use the following procedures
in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from
the welding/cutting circuit:
- Route the electrode and work cables together –
Secure them with tape when possible.
- Never coil the electrode/torch lead around your
body.
- Do not place your body between the
electrode/torch lead and work cables. If the
electrode/torch lead cable is on your right side,
the work cable should also be on your right side.
- Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close
as possible to the area being welded/cut.
- Do not work next to welding/cutting power
source.
EXPLOSIONS.
Do not weld in the vicinity of containers
under pressure, or in the presence of
explosive dust, gases or fumes.
All cylinders and pressure regulators used in
welding operations should be handled with care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY.
This machine is manufactured in compliance with
the instructions contained in the harmonized
standard IEC 60974-10 (CL.A),
and must be used
solely for professional purposes in an industrial
environment. There may be potential difficulties
in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in
non-industrial environments.
DISPOSAL
OF
ELECTRICAL
AND
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT.
Do not dispose of electrical equipment
together with normal waste!
In observance of European Directive
2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment and its implementation in
accordance with national law, electrical equipment
that has reached the end of its life must be collected
separately and returned to an environmentally
compatible recycling facility. As the owner of the
equipment, you should get information on approved
collection systems from our local representative. By
applying this European Directive you will improve
the environment and human health!
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST
ASSISTANCE FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
