2. SETTING THE WELDING UNIT INTO OPERATION
ATTENTION!
Read
Section 15
, "Safety instructions", before setting the
welding unit into operation.
2.1. PROPER USE
The welding unit is designed for manual covered-electrode arc welding
(MMA)
, argon arc welding,
(TIG)
and gas-shielded semiautomatic arc welding
(MIG/MAG)
. Any other use of the welding unit
is considered as improper. The manufacturer of the welding unit is not responsible for damages
caused by any improper use of the unit. The use of the welding unit is proper if all the requirements
of this Operation Manual are satisfied.
ATTENTION
!!! Do not use the welding unit to unfreeze pipes.
2.2. REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION
The welding unit is protected against ingress of foreign particles more than 12.5 mm in size.
The welding unit is allowed for outdoor operation. The internal electrical and electronic elements of
the welding unit are protected against moisture but are not protected against atmospheric
condensate drops.
ATTENTION!
After completing welding works in hot weather, or
completing intensive welding works in any weather, switch off the welding
unit only after at least 5 minutes of time required for the electronic elements
of the unit to be cooled.
