Safety Rules
“Danger” indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
“Warning!” indicates a possible hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury. The possible hazards are
explained in the text.
“Caution” indicates a possible hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in slight or moderate injury.
“Note!” indicates a situation which implies a risk of impaired welding
result and damage to the equipment.
Utilization for intended purpose only
The machine may only be used for jobs as defined by the “Intended
purpose”.
Utilization for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall be
deemed to be “not in
accordance with the intended purpose”. The manufacturer shall not be
liable for any
damage resulting from such improper use.
Safety signs
All the safety instructions and danger warnings on the machine must
be kept in legible condition, not removed, not be covered, pasted or
painted cover.
Safety inspection
The owner/operator is obliged to perform safety inspection at regular
intervals.
The manufacturer also recommends every 3-6 months for regular
maintenance of power sources.
Electric shock can kill
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns.
The electrode and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is
on. The input power circuit and machine internal circuits are also live
when power is on. In MIG/MAG welding, the wire, drive rollers, wire
feed housing and all metal parts touching the welding wire are
electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment
is a hazard.
Do not touch live electrical parts of the welding circuit, electrodes and
wires with your bare skin or wet clothing.
The operator must wear dry hole-free insulating welding gloves and
body protection while performs the welding.
Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating protection
which is large enough to prevent you full area of physical contact with
