FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISK
Fully shield the welding area; flammable materials should be kept at least 11 metres away.
Fire fighting equipment must be nearby during welding operations.
Beware of hot material or sparks being projected, even through cracks; they can cause a fire or explosion.
Keep people, flammable objects and pressurised containers at a safe distance.
Welding in closed containers or tubes should be avoided and if they are open they should be emptied of any flammable or explosive material (oils,
fuels and gas residues, etc.).
Grinding operations must not be directed towards the welding power source or towards any flammable materials.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical power supply must be earthed. Use the fuse size recommended on the information panel.
Electric shocks can cause serious direct or indirect accidents and even death.
Never touch live parts inside or outside the live power source (torches, clamps, cables and electrodes) as these parts are directly connected to the
welding circuit.
Before opening the welding current source, it must be disconnected from the mains and wait 2 minutes. so that all the capacitors are discharged.
Do not touch the torch or electrode holder and the earth clamp at the same time.
Ensure that cables and torches are changed by qualified and authorised personnel if they become damaged. Select the cable's cross-section size
according to the intended application. Always wear dry, undamaged clothing to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Wear insulated footwear in
all work environments.
TRANSPORTING AND MOVING THE PRODUCT
It is advisable to drain the cooling unit before transportation. Do not carry the equipment over people or objects.
SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENT
• Place the equipment on a floor with a maximum slope of 10°.
• Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.
• The machine must not be used in an area with conductive metal dusts.
• The equipment must be protected from heavy rain and kept out of direct sunlight.
• The machine protection level is IP23, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against the rain inclined at 60° towards the vertical.
These devices can be used outside in accordance with the IP23 protection index.
MAINTENANCE / ADVICE
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified technician Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Turn off the power supply by unplugging the outlet, and wait for the fan to stop before working on the device The voltages and
currents are high and dangerous inside the device.
• Regularly remove the cover and blow out the dust. Take the opportunity to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified technician using
an insulated tool.
• Check the condition of the power cord regularly If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their after-sales service
department or a similarly qualified technician to avoid hazards.
• Leave the welding power source's vents free to allow air to enter and exit the machine
The coolant must be changed every 12 months in order to avoid deposits that may clog the torch's cooling circuit. Any leakage or
residues from the welding machine after use must be treated at an appropriate treatment plant. The product should be recycled,
if possible. Emptying the used fluid into waterways, pools or drainage systems is strictly forbidden. Unless permitted by local
regulations, the diluted fluid should not be drained into the sewer system.
