• Electrical equipment should not be repaired by unauthorized persons.
Errors occurred if failed to do so may result in serious injury or death when using
the equipment.
• The gas circuit elements operate under pressure; explosions may occur as a result of
services provided by unauthorized persons, users may sustain serious injuries.
• It is recommended to perform technical maintenance of the machine and its
auxiliary units at least once a year.
• In small-sized and confined spaces, absolutely make sure to perform welding and
cutting operations, accompanied by another person.
• Avoid performing welding and cutting operations in such enclosed areas as much as
possible.
• Take all necessary precautions when moving the machine. The areas where the
machine to be transported, parts to be used in transportation and the physical
conditions and health of the person carrying out the transportation works should be
suitable for the transportation process.
• Some machines are extremely heavy; therefore, make sure that the necessary
environmental safety measures are taken when changing their places.
• If the welding machine is to be used on a platform, it must be checked that this
platform has suitable load bearing limits.
• If it is to be transported by means of a haulage vehicle (transport trolley, forklift
etc.), make sure of the durableness of the vehicle, and the connection points
(carrying suspenders, straps, bolts, nuts, wheels, etc.) that connect the machine to
this vehicle.
• If the machine will be carried manually, make sure the durableness of the machine
apparatuses (carrying suspenders, straps, etc.) and connections.
• Observe the International Labor Organization's rules on carriage weights and
the transport regulations in force in your country in order to ensure the necessary
transport conditions.
• Always use handles or carrying rings when relocating the power-supply sources.
Never pull from torches, cables or hoses. Be absolutely sure to carry gas cylinders
separately.
• Remove all interconnections before transporting the welding and cutting
equipment, each being separately, lift and transport small ones using its handles,
and the big ones from its handling rings or by using appropriate haulage equipment,
such as forklifts.
Improper positioning of the power-supply sources or other equipment can cause
• Place your machine on the floor and platforms with a maximum tilt of 10° so that it

does not fall or tip over. Choose places that do not interfere with the flow of
materials, where there is no risk of tripping over on cables and hoses; yet, large,
easily ventilatable, dust-free areas. To prevent gas cylinders from tipping over, on
machines with a gas platform suitable for the tanks, fix the tanks on to the platform;
in stationary usage applications, fix them to the wall with a chain in a way that they
would not tip over for sure.
• Allow operators to easily access settings and connections on the machine.
• Allow the machine to cool down according to operation cycle rates.
• Reduce the current or operation cycle rate before starting the welding again.
• Do not block the fronts of air vents of the machines.
• Do not put filters that do not have manufacturer approvals into the machine's
ventilation ports.
