These instructions must be read and understood before using the machine.
Any modification or maintenance that is not specified in the manual must not be carried out.
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any damage to persons or property caused by the failure to follow this product's user manual
instructions.
In case of problems or queries, please consult a qualified tradesperson to correctly install the product.
ENVIRONMENT
This equipment should only be used for welding operations performed within the limits indicated on the information panel and/or in this manual. These
safety guidelines must be observed. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible in cases of improper or dangerous use.
The machine must be set up somewhere free from dust, acid, flammable gases or any other corrosive substances. This also applies to the machine's
storage. Operate the machine in an open or well-ventilated area.
Temperature range:
Operate between -10 and +40°C (+14 and +104°F).
Store between -20 and +55°C (-4 and 131°F).
Air humidity:
Less than or equal to 50% at 40°C (104°F).
Lower than or equal to 90% at 20°C (68°F).
Altitude:
Up to 1,000m above sea level (3,280 feet).
PROTECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Arc welding can be dangerous and cause serious injury or death.
Welding exposes people to a dangerous heat source, arc light, electromagnetic fields (be aware of those wearing pacemakers), risk of electrocution,
loud noises and fumes.
To protect yourself and others, please observe the following safety instructions:
To protect yourself from burns and radiation, wear insulating, dry and fireproof clothing without lapels. Ensure the clothing is in good
condition and that covers the whole body.
Wear gloves that ensure electrical and thermal insulation.
Use welding protection and/or a welding helmet with a sufficient level of protection (depending on the specific use). Protect your
eyes during cleaning operations. Contact lenses are specifically forbidden.
It may be necessary to section off the welding area with fireproof curtains to protect the area from arc radiation and hot spatter.
Advise people in the welding area not to stare at the arc rays or molten material and to wear appropriate protective clothing.
Wear noise protection headphones if the welding process becomes louder than the permissible limit (this is also applicable to
anyone else in the welding area).
Keep your hands, hair and clothing away from moving parts (for example, the fans).
Never remove the cooling unit housing protections when the welding power source is live, the manufacturer cannot be held
responsible inthe event of an accident.
The newly welded parts are hot and can cause burns when handled. When maintenance work is carried out on the torch or electrode
holder, ensure that it is sufficiently cold by waiting at least 10 minutes before carrying out any work. The cooling unit must be
switched on when using a water-cooled torch to ensure that the liquid cannot cause burns.
To protect people and property, it is important to properly secure the work area before leaving.
WELDING FUMES AND GAS
The fumes, gases and dusts emitted during welding are harmful to health. Sufficient ventilation must be provided and an additional
air supply may be required. A n air-fed mask could be a solution in cases where there is insufficient ventilation.
Check that the suction is functioning effectively by checking it against safety standards.
Caution: when welding in small areas requires supervision from a safe distance. In addition, the welding of certain materials containing lead, cadmium,
zinc, mercury or even beryllium can be particularly harmful. Remove any grease from the parts before welding.
