People wearing pacemakers are advised to consult their doctor before using this device.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields while welding may have other health effects which are not yet known.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE WIRE FEEDER
The wire feeder is equipped with handles for easy transportation. Be careful not to underestimate the machine's weight. The handle cannot be used to
hang the machine from other equipment. If you wish to lift the wire feeder, please use the optional lifting support (ref. 036277). Never lift the machine
while there is a gas cylinder on the support shelf. A clear path is available when moving the item.
Do not place/carry the unit over people or objects.
The removal of the wire reel from the machine is recommended before undertaking any lifting operation.
Stray welding currents/voltages may destroy earth conductors, damage electrical equipment or cause components to warm up which
may cause a fire.
- All welding connections must be firmly secured, check regularly !
- Check that the metal piece fixation is strong and without any electrical problems !
- Attach or hang all the electrically conductive elements,such as the trolley in order to insulate them
- Do not place any electrical equipment such as drills on top of the welding machine without insulating them !
- Always place welding torches or electrodes holders on an insulated surface when they're not in use !
