A WILKINSON STAR LIMITED PRODUCT 12-16 ISSUE 1
Always ensure machine covers and protective devices are in operation.
Precautions against fire and explosion
Avoid causing fires due to sparks and hot waste or molten metal
Ensure that appropriate fire safety devices are available near the cutting / welding area.
Remove all flammable and combustible materials from the cutting / welding zone and surrounding areas
Do not cut/weld fuel and lubricant containers, even if empty.
These must be carefully cleaned before they can be cut/ welded.
Always allow the cut/welded material to cool before touching it or placing it in contact with combustible
or flammable material.
Do not work in atmospheres with high concentrations of combustible fumes, flammable gases and dust.
Always check the work area half an hour after cutting to make sure that no fires have begun.
Risks due to magnetic fields
The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect the operation of pacemakers or electronically
controlled medical equipment.
Wearers of vital electronic equipment should consult their physician before beginning any arc welding,
cutting, gouging or spot welding operations.
Do not go near welding equipment with any sensitive electronic equipment as the magnetic fields may
cause damage.
RF Declaration
Equipment that complies with directive 2004/108/EC concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
and the technical requirements of EN60974-10 is designed for use in industrial buildings and not those for
domestic use where electricity is provided via the low voltage public distribution system. Difficulties may
arise in assuring class A electromagnetic compatibility for systems installed in domestic locations due to
conducted and radiated emissions.
In the case of electromagnetic problems, it is the responsibility of the user to resolve the situation. It may
be necessary to shield the equipment and fit suitable filters on the mains supply.
LF Declaration
Consult the data plate on the equipment for the power supply requirements.
Due to the elevated absorbance of the primary current from the power supply network, high power
systems affect the quality of power provided by the network. Consequently, connection restrictions or
maximum impedance requirements permitted by the network at the public network connection point
must be applied to these systems.
In this case the installer or the user is responsible for ensuring the equipment can be connected,
consulting the electricity provider if necessary.
Materials and their disposal
The equipment is manufactured with materials, which do not contain any toxic or poisonous materials
