7.2 Installation
WARNING
When installing the welding machine, follow the instructions below to avoid a fire caused by
welding or physical injury from gas fumes.
٨
Do not place the welding machine near combustible materials or flammable
gas.
٨
Remove combustible materials to prevent dross coming into contact with
combustible objects. If that is not possible, cover them with
noncombustible covers.
٨
To avoid gas poisoning and danger of suffocation, wear a gas mask or
adequately ventilate when the welding machine is used in the place
regulated by local law.

When using the welding machine at a narrow space, comply with a trained
supervisor’s directions. And be sure to wear a gas mask or adequately
ventilate.
