WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL!
• A person qualified in First Aid techniques should always be present in the working area; If a
person is found unconscious and electric shock is suspected, do not touch the person if she or
he is in contact with cable or electric wires. Disconnect power from the machine, then use First
Aid. Use dry wood or other insulating materials to move cables, if necessary away from the
person.
• Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate yourself from the work piece or other parts of the
welding circuit.
• Make sure the main line is properly grounded.
• Do not coil the torch or the ground cables around your body.
• Never touch or come in physical contact with any part of the input current circuit and welding
current circuit.
Electric warning:
• Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts.
• Extra care must be taken when working in moist or damp areas.
• Install and maintain equipment according to local regulations.
• Disconnect power supply before performing any service or repair.
• Should you feel the slightest electrical shock, stop any welding immediately and do not use the
welder until the fault has been found and corrected.
Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Welding processes can cause noise levels that exceed
safe limits. You must protect your ears from loud noise to prevent permanent loss of hearing.
• To protect your hearing from loud noise, wear protective ear plugs and/or ear muffs.
• Noise levels should be measured to be sure the decibels (sound) do not exceed safe levels.
Before installing your welder, carry out an inspection of the surrounding area, observing the
following guidelines:
• Make sure that there are no other power supply cables, control lines, telephone leads or other
equipment near the unit.
• Make sure that there are no radio receivers, television appliances, computers or other control
systems near the unit.
• People with pace-maker or hearing-prosthesis should keep far from the power source.
! In particular cases special protection measures may be required.
Interference can be reduced by following these suggestions:
• If there is interference in the power source line, an E.M.T. filter can be mounted between the
power supply and the power source.
• The output cables of the power source should not be too long, kept together or connected to
ground;
• After the maintenance all the panels of the power source must be securely fastened in place.
