Electric Shock; Electromagnetic Compatibility; Maintenance Precautions - Benman 160 GEN Notice Originale

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
cific type of gas. Check the regulator is
appropriate for the protective gas to
be used.
DAMAGED GAS CYLINDERS
Never use damaged or faulty cylinders.
CYLINDER RELOCATION
Never lift a gas cylinder by holding the
regulator.
GAS CYLINDERS
Do not expose gas cylinders to exces-
sive heat sources, sparks, hot slag or
flames.
GAS HOSE
Check the gas hose is not damaged.
Always keep the gas hose well away
from the work area.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

Together with the previous instruc-
tions, the following precautions
should be strictly observed to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
ELECTRIC SHOCK INJURY
DO NOT touch a person suffering from
electric shock if he/she is still in contact
with the cables. Switch the mains
power source off immediately THEN
provide assistance.
CABLE CONTACT
Do not tamper with power cables if
the mains power is still switched on.
Do not touch the welding circuitry.
Welding circuitry is usually low voltage,
however, as a precaution, do not touch
the welder electrodes.
CABLE AND PLUG PRECAUTIONS
Check the power supply cable, plug and
wall-socket regularly. This is particularly
important if the equipment is relocated
often.
REPAIRS
Never attempt to repair the Welder
yourself. The result would not only
cause warranty cancellation but also
high danger risks.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

Always check that the electric power
supply has been disconnected before
performing any of the maintenance
operations listed in this manual ( e.g.
before replacing any of the following:
worn electrodes, welding wires, the
wire feeder etc.)
Never point the welding gun or the
electrode towards yourself or others.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

Check no power supply cables,
telephone cables or other electrical
items (e.g. computer cables, control
lines etc.) are in the vicinity of the
cut.
Check there are no telephones, televi-
sions, computers or other transmission
devices close to the Welder.
Make sure that people with pace-mak-
ers are not in the immediate vicinity of
the Welder.
Do not use the Welder in hospitals
or medical environments (including
veterinari surgeries). Make especially
sure there is no electrical medical
equipment being used close to where
welding is being done.
Should the Welder interfere with other
apparatus, take the following precau-
tionary measures:
Check the Welder's side panels are
securely fastened.
Shorten the power supply cables.
Place EMC filters between the Welder
and the power source.
EMC compatibility: CISPR 11, Group 2,
Class A.
This Class A equipment is not in-tended
for use in residential locations where
the electrical power is provided by
the public low-voltage supply system.
There may be potential difficulties in
ensuring electro-magnetic compatibili-
ty in those locations, due to conducted
as well as radiated disturbances.
This equipment does not comply with
IEC 61000-3-12. If it is connected to a
public low voltage system, it is the re-
sponsibility of the installer or user of the
equipment to ensure, by consultation
with the distribution network operator
if necessary, that the equipment may be
connected.
