FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS RISKS
Protect the entire welding area. Compressed gas containers and other inflammable material must be
moved to a minimum safe distance of 11 meters.
A fire extinguisher must be readily available at all times.
Be careful of spatter and sparks, even through cracks.
They can be the source of a fire or an explosion.
Keep people, flammable objects and containers under pressure at a safe distance.
Welding of sealed containers or closed pipes should not be undertaken, and if opened, the operator must remove any
inflammable or explosive materials (oil, petrol, gas...).
Grinding operations should not be directed towards the device itself or any flammable materials.
GAS BOTTLE
Gas leaking from the cylinder can create a hazard if present in high concentrations around the work
area.
Transport must be done safely: Cylinders closed and product off. Always keep cylinders in an upright
position securely chained to a fixed support or trolley.
Gas cylinders must be stored in an open or ventilated area. The cylinders must be in a vertical position secured to
a support or trolley. Close the bottle after any welding operation. Be careful with gas bottles placed in areas of high
temperature, or in sunlight. Cylinders should be located away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage. Always keep gas bottles at a safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations, and any source of
heat, sparks or flame.
Be careful when opening the valve on the gas bottle, it is necessary to remove the tip of the valve and make sure the
gas meets your welding requirements.
ELECTRIC SAFETY
The machine must be connected to an earthed electrical supply. Use the recommended fuse size.
An electrical discharge can directly or indirectly cause serious accidents, or death .
Never touch live parts inside or outside of the device when it is powered on (Torches, clamps, cables, electrodes) as they
are connected to the welding circuit.
Before opening the device, it is imperative to disconnect it from the electrical supply and wait 2 minutes so that all the
capacitors are discharged.
Do not touch the torch or electrode holder and earth clamp at the same time.
Be sure to change the cables and torches if they are damaged, to be performed by qualified and authorized personnel.

Always wear dry clothes in good condition, in order to be insulated from the electrical circuit. Wear insulating shoes,
regardless of the environment in which you work in.
EMC CLASSIFICATION
These Class A devices are not intended to be used on a residential site where the electric current is
supplied by the public network, with a low voltage power supply. There may be potential difficulties in
ensuring electromagnetic compatibility on these sites, because of the interferences, as well as radio
frequencies.
This equipment does not comply with IEC 61000-3-12 and is intended to be connected to private
low-voltage systems interfacing with the public supply only at the medium- or high-voltage level. On
a public low-voltage power grid, it is the responsibility of the installer or user of the device to ensure,
by checking with the operator of the distribution network, which device can be connected.
This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11 if the power supply network's impedance at the
electircal installation's connection point is inferior to the network's maximum admissible impendance
Zmax as specified :
• SPARK 100 : This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-11 standard.
• SPARK 130 : This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-11 standard.
• SPARK 180 : This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11 if the power supply network's impedance
at the electrical installation's connection point is inferior to the network's maximum admissible
impendance Zmax = 0.368 Ohms.
