Installation Environment - Benman 160 GEN Notice Originale

Carelessness while using or maintaining
the compressed gas cylinders or
regulators can injure or kill the
operator and/or bystanders! Read,
understand and observe all safety
warnings to avoid the dangers of
compressed gas. Pay particular
attention to the fact that even
bystanders should be aware of, and
understand, the dangers.
HIGH VOLTAGE
The unit carries potentially lethal
voltage. The high voltage areas of the
equipment have been segregated and
can be reached only by using tools
that are not provided with the Welder.
All maintenance or repair operations
requiring access to such areas may only
be performed by constructor-trained
technicians.
FOREIGN OBJECTS
Never block the air vents with foreign
objects and avoid any contact with liq-
uids. Clean using just a dry cloth. These
safety precautions apply even when the
unit is switched off.
WEIGHT LOADS
The upper part of the Welder was not
designed to withstand heavy loads.
Never stand on the unit.
CABLE GAUGES
Check that all cables are appropriately
gauged for the input power required
by your specific Welder. This precaution
applies also to extension cables, if used.
All extension cables must be straight.
Coiled cables can overheat, becoming
dangerous. Twisted or coiled cables can
also cause Welder malfunction.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Check that the power source supplying
the Welder carries the correct voltage
and is safety-protected. The power
switch must open all the power supply
circuits. (If a single-phase connection
is used, both the live and the neutral
poles must be open. If a three-wire
connection is used, all three poles must
be open. Four-wire circuits require all
poles and neutral open). Time-delayed
fuses or K-standard circuit breakers
should be used.
EARTHING
If the Welder was not already supplied
with a plug, connect the earth wire
first. When removing the plug, discon-
nect the earth wire last.
PLUG AND POWER SUPPLY
If the Welder already has a plug at-
tached, check that it is appropriate for
the wall-socket you intend using. Never
tamper with the power cable.
CABLE COLORS
The green-yellow wire is for earthing.
(Don't use it for anything else !).
RELOCATION
Some Welders are extremely heavy
therefore care should be taken when
relocating the unit. Check the floor or
platform weight load limitations be-
fore relocating the unit if the Welder is
to be used, even only temporarily, in a
non-industrial environment.
Never store or move the Welder in an
inclined position or on its side.

INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT

The equipment is not suitable for use in
washrooms, shower cubicles, pool ar-
eas or similar environments. If you are
obliged to use the unit in such areas,
turn off all water supplies and check
the area has been evacuated.
The Welder was not designed for
installation or use in areas where it
could be subject to blows or vibration,
such as road vehicles, railway carriages,
cable-cars, aircraft, ships or boats or
similar environments (including cranes,
conveyor-carriers or any other mobile
equipment prone to vibration).
The Welder should never be used or
stored in the rain or in snow.
Never use the Welder in an explosive,
corrosive, abrasive or saline environ-
ment.
EXTINGUISHER
Always place an approved fire extin-
guisher in the immediate vicinity of the
work area. Fire extinguishers should be
checked regularly.
