Use the appropriate connection terminal that is compatible with the fitting type used. Be sure
the contact is firmly established and do not use connection terminals or terminal adapters that
are burnt or not designed for the intended use.
2.2

Improper Use of the Welding and Power Supply Cables

Do not carry the product by its cables and do not pull the power cord to unplug the unit from

Securing the Fitting and the Joint

Use positioner clamps or a vice to secure the fitting and the joint to be made before welding.
The fitting manufacturer's installation instructions, local and national regulations have to be
respected in all cases.
A welding process must never be repeated with the same fitting, since this may cause parts
under power to be accessible to the touch.
