FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Fully protect the welding area, and ensure that flammable materials are kept at least 11 metres away.
Fire fighting equipment should be kept close to wherever the welding activities are being undertaken.
Be careful of spatter and sparks, even through cracks, as it can be the source of a fire or an explosion.
Keep people, flammable objects and pressurised containers at a safe distance.
Welding in closed containers or tubes is to be avoided. If the containers or tubes are open, they must be emptied of all flammable or
explosive materials (oil, fuel, residual gas...).
Grinding work must not be directed towards the source of the welding current or towards any flammable materials.
GAS CYLINDERS
Gas escaping from cylinders can cause suffocation if there is too high a concentration of it in the welding area
(ensure good ventilation)�
The machine must be transported in complete safety: gas cylinders must be closed and the welding power source
turned off. They should be stored upright and supported to limit the risk of falling.
Close the cylinder between uses. Beware of temperature variations and exposure to the sun.
The cylinder must not come into contact with a flame, an electric arc, the gun, a ground clamp, or any other
source of heat or potential ignition�
Be sure to keep it away from electrical and welding circuits. Never weld a pressurised cylinder.
Be careful when opening the cylinder valve, keep your head away from the tap and ensure that the gas used is
suitable for the welding application�
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical network used must be earthed. Use the recommended fuse size from the rating plate.
A direct or indirect electric shock can cause a serious injury, or even death.
Do not touch any live part of the machine (inside or outside) when it is plugged in
(Gun, clamps), because it is connected to the welding circuit.
Before opening the welding power source, disconnect it from the mains supply and wait 2 minutes. So that all the capacitors are
discharged�
Do not touch the gun shaft and the ground clamp at the same time.
Be sure to change the cables if they are damaged, by qualified and authorised persons. Measure the cable cross-section according
to the intended application. Always use dry and in-fact clothing to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Wear insulated shoes
in all working environments�
EMC CLASSIFICATION
This Class A device is not intended for use in a residential environment where power is provided by the public
low-voltage local supply network. There may be potential difficulties in maintaining electromagnetic compatibility
at these sites, due to both conducted, and radiated radio frequency interference.
Provided that the impedance of the low-voltage public electrical network at the common interconnection point is less
than Zmax = 0.45 Ohms, this equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11 and can be connected to public low-voltage
electrical mains. It is the responsibility of the installer or operator of the product to ensure this, in consultation with
the distribution netwtork operator if necessary, that the network impedance complies with the impedance restric-
tions�
This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-12 standard.
