Personal Protection - Benman 160 GEN Notice Originale

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
Place the Welder well away from heat
sources. Place the Welder in a well-ven-
tilated environment. Place the Welder
in a safe, protected area. It must not be
installed outdoors. Do not install the
Welder in dusty environments. Dust
can get into the inner parts of the unit
and inhibit cooling. The Welder must
be positioned on a flat, stable surface
that extends further than the units own
dimensions in all directions. In case of
use on a oblique surface is recommend-
ed an adequate fixing in order to avoid
the machine slides.
CLEAN LOCATIONS
The installation area must be kept clean
and dry to be sure the Welder fans do
not draw in small objects or liquids. Not
only could the equipment malfunction
but a serious risk of fire outbreak could
be created.
REPAIRS
Never attempt to repair the Welder
yourself. Always refer to the manu-
facturer or an authorized repairer. All
warranty provisions will immediately
become null and void if any repair,
or attempt to repair, not specifically
authorized in writing or handled by the
constructor is carried out. Further-
more, the constructor will accept no
responsibility for any malfunction or
damage resulting as a consequence of
such unauthorized action.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The Welder must be taken to an
authorized Technical Assistance Centre
if the equipment has been damaged in
any way or if any one of the following
events occurs: liquid infiltration; dam-
age caused by falling objects; exposure
to rain or humidity (exceeding the spec-
ified limits); malfunction; performance
failure or if the equipment has been
dropped.
SPARE PARTS
Use only manufacturer-recommended
spare parts. Other spare parts could
cause equipment malfunction. The
use of non-original spare parts will
also result in the warranty provisions
becoming null and void, releasing the
manufacturer from any responsibility
for malfunction or damage resulting as
a consequence of such action.
WELDING OPERATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

be dangerous for the opera-tor and
bystanders if the safety warnings and
instructions are not heeded.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

Together with the previous instruc-
tions, the following precautions
should be strictly observed.
PROTECTION MASK
Wear a protective non-flammable weld-

FUMES AND GASES
Clean away paint, rust or any other dirt
from the item to be cut to avoid the
creation of dangerous fumes.
Never cut on metals containing zinc,
mercury, chromium, graphite, heavy
metals, cadmium or beryllium unless
the operator and the bystanders use
appropriate air-supplied respirators.
HIGH VOLTAGE PROTECTION
Together with the previous instruc-
tions, the following precautions
should be strictly observed.
CONFINED SPACES
When welding in small environments,
leave the power source outside the
area where welding will take place and
attach the grounding clamp to the part
to be welded.
