6. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR WELDING MACHINES.
6.1. THERMAL PROTECTION.
The equipment is protected against thermal overloads via an automatic recharge thermostat. When the
set maximum temperature is reached, the protection will cut off the power circuit current and the
WARNING display 1 will be shown. DO NOT TURN OFF OR DISCONNECT THE EQUIPMENT WHILE THE
THERMAL PROTECTION IS ACTIEE, AS DOING SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
After a few minutes, the warning light will go out and the power will come back. The equipment will then
be ready to resume operation.
CAUTION Use the equipment only following the procedure provided in this manual. Misuse can
be dangerous for people, animals and things.
The user of the welder is responsible for his own safety and that of others: it is key to read, understand
and align with the basic rules contained in this manual. Make sure that the current absorption and the
protection of the electric line correspond to those of the machine and the outlet.
6.3. ASSESSMENT OF THE WORK AREA.
Before installing welding equipment, the user must perform an assessment of potential electromagnetic
issues in the surrounding area. The following should be considered:
•
Other power, control, telephone or signaling cables.
•
Radio and television transmitters or receivers
•
Computers or other electronic devices and control equipment.
•
Critical safety equipment, for example, protection of automatic machines
•
Personal electronic devices, for example, pacemakers or hearing aids.
•
Calibration or measurement equipment/instruments.
•
The immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user must ensure that other
equipment used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection
measures.
•
The time of day when the welding, and other activities will take place.
•
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building
and the other activities that take place at the same time. The surrounding area may extend
beyond the boundaries of the work area.
6.4. ENEIRONMENT.
•
Arc welding produces sparks, melted metal projection and smoke. Remove all flammable
substances and/or materials from the work area.
•
Always ensure good ventilation at the place of welding.
•
Do not weld on containers, recipients or pipes that contain gas or have contained flammable,
liquid or gaseous products (danger of explosion and/or fire), nor on materials polished with
chlorinated or varnished solvents (danger of toxic smoke emanation).
6.2. PROTECTION AGAINST OEERLOAD.
The equipment is protected against the voltage or
current peaks caused by the power supply to
which it is connected (public network, generator,
etc.), if it occurs, the welding current will be
interrupted and the WARNING! display will be
shown. Follow ther instructions.
