when not following the instructions published by GYS.
ENVIRONMENT
This equipment should only be used for welding operations performed within the limits indicated on the information panel and/or
in this manual. These safety guidelines must be observed. In the event of improper or dangerous use, the manufacturer cannot be
held responsible.
The machine must be used in an environment free of dust, acid, flammable gas, or other corrosive substances. This also applies to
storage on the unit. Operate the machine in an open, or well-ventilated area.
Temperature range:
Use between -10 and +40°C (+14 and +104°F).
Store between -25 à 55 °C (-13 et 131 °F)
Air humidity:
Lower than or equal to 50% at 40°C (104°F).
Lower than or equal to 90% at 20°C (68°F).
Altitude: Up to 1,000m above sea level (3280 feet).
PROTECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Capacitive discharge equipment can be dangerous and cause serious injury or death. The machine is intended to be operated by
qualified personnel who have received appropriate training in the use of the machine (eg: panel beater training).
Welding exposes people to dangerous heat, sparks, electromagnetic fields (beware if you have a pacemaker), risk of electrocution,
noise, and gas emissions.
To protect yourself and others, please comply with the following safety instructions:
To protect yourself from burns and radiation, wear clothes without cuffs/lapels, that are insulating, dry, fireproof and
in good condition, and that cover the whole body.
Wear protective gloves which provide electrical and thermal insulation.
Use welding protection and/or a welding helmet with a sufficient level of protection (depending on the specific
use). Protect your eyes during cleaning procedures. Contact lenses are specifically forbidden. It may sometimes be
necessary to mark off areas with fireproof curtains in order to protect others from splashes, sparks, and arc-eye. Ask
people around the working area to look away from at the arc and molten metal, and to wear protective clothing.
Wear noise protection headphones if the welding process becomes louder than the permissible limit (this is also
applicable to anyone else in the welding area).
Newly welded parts are hot and can cause burns when handled.
It is important to secure the working area before leaving it, in order to protect people and property.
