2. Important Safeguard
2.1 Read, understand, and comply with all safety rules described at the beginning of
each instruction manual in addition to the following ones before starting Arc welding
operation.
WARNING
Observe the following notices to prevent a serious accident
that results in serious injury or death.
1) This torch is designed and manufactured in due consideration of safety, but you must follow
the handling precautions described in this instruction manual. If you fail to do so, there may
occur an accident resulting in serious injury or death.
2) Related laws, regulations, and your company's standards should be observed in constructing
input power source, selecting an installation area, handling/storing/piping high pressure gas,
storing welded products, and disposing wastes.
3) Keep out of the robot operating zone and the welding area.
4) A person with pacemaker should not approach the operating welding machine and the welding
area unless his or her doctor permits. A welding machine generates a magnetic field around it
during powered, which will have a bad effect on the pacemaker.
5) Installation, maintenance, and repair of this torch should be performed by qualified personnel
or those who fully understand a welding torch for further safety.
6) Operation of this torch should be done by personnel who have knowledge and technical skill
to fully understand the contents of this manual and to handle the torch safely.
7) This torch must not be used for purposes other than welding.
2.2 Observe the following to prevent electric shock.
WARNING
Do not touch live electrical parts.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shock or severe
burns.
8) Only qualified personnel should perform grounding work of the welding power supply and
workpiece, or a workpiece and powered peripheral jigs while abiding by domestic regulations.
9) Do not touch live electrical parts.
10) Always wear dry insulating gloves and other body protection. Do not wear torn or wet gloves/
work clothes.
11) Before doing the installation, inspection, maintenance, etc. of this product, be sure to turn off
all the input power sources and check, several minutes later, that there is no charging voltage
since the condenser and the like may have been recharged.
12) Do not use cables with insufficient capacity, with damage, or with naked conductors.
13) Be sure to tighten the connections of cables and insulate them in order to prevent personnel
from touching those parts easily.
14) DO NOT use a welding machine with its case or cover removed.
15) Secure a firm foothold before initiating work. DO NOT perform work with an unstable
foothold or with a foothold at a height of two meters or above.
