Use the safety chain to secure the gas cylinder
■
against falling over.
Remove the gas cylinder before transport.

Proper use

The machine is designed to weld steel, aluminium
and alloys both in commercial and industrial
environments.
The user is liable for damage resulting
from improper use.

Appliance protection

The appliance is electronically protected against
overload. Do not, however, actuate the main switch
with the device under load.
The device is cooled by a fan.
Therefore ensure that the air inlet [9] is free at all
times.
Do not insert any objects through the ventilation
slots. They could damage the fan. Never weld
with a defective fan; have the device repaired
immediately.
Never use stronger fuses than the fuse rating
indicated on the type plate of the device. Transport
the device in a horizontal position attached to the
carrying strap.
Cyclic duration factor (CDF)
The cyclic duration factor (CDF) is calculated based
on a working cycle of 10 minutes. A CDF of 60%
thus corresponds to a welding time of 6 minutes.
