Warning
UPP™ welding units must never be operated in Zone1
or Zone 0 areas!
Hazardous area denitions are from European Directive 1999/92/EC (further
guidelines can be found in the APEA Blue Book 2nd Edition).Further guidelines
are found in IEC 60079-10-1, “Explosive atmospheres - Part 10-1: Classication
of areas - Explosive gas atmospheres”
Safety
• The EF1 is designed for usage on construction sites and meets applicable
European and International safety standards. The machine should be
handled with the care usually given to electrical equipment, especially during
transport.
• The machine must only be used outside of hazardous areas (zones 0, 1 and 2).
• Each time it is used, check the condition of the machine, particularly the
mains power cable. If any damage is discovered, contact the supplier
immediately and do not use the machine.
• Check the state of the welding cables before use and replace them if there is
any doubt about their condition.
• Protect the welder from getting wet.
• Always check that the power source is within the parameters shown below
before using the EF1.
• Never lift or pull the machine by its power cable or the welding cables. Never
disconnect welding cables by pulling the cable; always pull off the connectors.
• Never re-weld a tting that is still warm. Serious re or burn damage
can occur and hot material may be ejected from the weld zone. Power
conducting elements may become exposed creating an electrical shock
hazard.
