1.1 Signal and Hazard Explanation
The above signals mean Warning, Notice, and Running Parts
Safe operation is simple after taking several necessary protection measures. The protection
measures and hazard explanations are listed in the following pages.
The following pages are meant to prevent most injuries that might occur while welding. While
welding, please remind yourself and others of any danger that that you might be in.
Only trained professionals can install, operate, maintain and repair the welding equipment.
During the operation, only necessary people should be present in the work space.
After shutting off the main power, please remain to examine and maintain the equipment
according to section 5 because of the DC voltage stored in the electrolytic capacitors.
1.2 Arc Welding Damage
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
Never touch electrical parts.
Wear welding-duty safety clothing including hole-free gloves to insulate yourself.
Insulate yourself from other work and the ground by using dry insulation. Make
certain
the
insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground.
Machine should not be operated in wet areas and all cables and hoses should be dry.
Never turn “ON” the machine power before reinstalling covers, guards and cables.
Be sure to install the power cord correctly. Ground the work or metal to be welded with an
earth clamp and be certain that the machine is grounded according to the operation manual.
The electrode and earth
circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch
these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing as electrocution may result.
Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being
