USER MANUAL
• In small-sized and confined spaces, absolutely make sure to perform welding / cutting
operations, accompanied by another person.
• Avoid performing welding / cutting operations in such enclosed areas as much as possible.
• Take all necessary precautions when moving the machine. The areas where the machine to be
transported, parts to be used in transportation and the physical conditions and health of the
person carrying out the transportation works should be suitable for the transportation process.
• Some machines are extremely heavy; therefore, make sure that the necessary environmental
safety measures are taken when changing their places.
• If the machine is to be used on a platform, it must be checked that this platform has suitable load
bearing limits.
• If it is to be transported by means of a haulage vehicle (transport trolley, forklift etc.), make sure
of the durableness of the vehicle, and the connection points (carrying suspenders, straps, bolts,
nuts, wheels, etc.) that connect the machine to this vehicle.
• If the machine will be carried manually, make sure the durableness of the machine apparatuses
(carrying suspenders, straps, etc.) and connections.
• Observe the International Labor Organization's rules on carriage weights and the transport
regulations in force in your country in order to ensure the necessary transport conditions.
• Always use handles or carrying rings when relocating the power-supply sources. Never pull
from torches, cables or hoses. Be absolutely sure to carry gas cylinders separately.
• Remove all interconnections before transporting the welding / cutting equipment, each being
separately, lift and transport small ones using its handles, and the big ones from its handling
rings or by using appropriate haulage equipment, such as forklifts.
Improper positioning of the power-supply sources or other equipment can cause serious injury
• Place your machine on the floor and platforms with a maximum tilt of 10° so that it does not fall
to persons and physical damage to other objects.
or tip over. Choose places that do not interfere with the flow of materials, where there is no risk
of tripping over on cables and hoses; yet, large, easily ventilatable, dust-free areas. To prevent
gas cylinders from tipping over, on machines with a gas platform suitable for the tanks, fix the
tanks on to the platform; in stationary usage applications, fix them to the wall with a chain in a
way that they would not tip over for sure.
• Allow operators to easily access settings and connections on the machine.
• Allow the machine to cool down according to operation cycle rates.
• Reduce the current or operation cycle rate before starting the welding / cutting again.
• Do not block the fronts of air vents of the machines.
• Do not put filters that do not have manufacturer approvals into the machine's ventilation ports.
• This device is in group 2, class A in EMC tests according to TS EN 55011 standard.
• This class A device is not intended for use in residential areas where electrical power is supplied
from a low-voltage power supply. There may be potential difficulties in providing electromagnetic
compatibility due to radio frequency interference transmitted and emitted in such places.
This device is not compliant with IEC 61000 -3-12. In case if it is desired to be
connected to the low voltage network used in the home, the installer to make the
electrical connection or the person who will use the machine must be aware that
the machine has been connected in such a manner; in this case the responsibility
belongs to the user.
• Make sure that the work area complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Electromagnetic interferences during welding / cutting operations may cause undesired effects
on your electronic devices and network; and the effects of these interferences that may occur
during these operations are under the responsibility of the user.
• If there is any interference, to ensure compliance; extra measures may be taken, such as the
use of short cables, use of shielded (armored) cables, transportation of the welding machine to
another location, removal of cables from the affected device and / or area, use of filters or taking
the work area under protection in terms of EMC.
• To avoid possible EMC damage, make sure to perform your welding / cutting operations as far
away from your sensitive electronic devices as possible (100 m).
