SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The working environment
Ensure the machine is mounted in a safe and stable posion allowing for cooling air circulaon.
Do not operate equipment in an environment outside the laid down operang parameters.
The welding power source is not suitable for use in rain or snow.
Always store the machine in a clean, dry space.
Ensure the equipment is kept clean from dust build up.
Always use the machine in an upright posion.
Protecon from moving parts
When the machine is in operaon keep away from moving parts such as motors and fans.
Moving parts, such as the fan, may cut ngers and hands and snag garments.
Protecons and coverings may be removed for maintenance and controls only by qualied personnel
aer rst disconnecng the power supply cable.
Replace the coverings and protecons and close all doors when the intervenon is nished and before
starng the equipment.
Take care to avoid geng ngers trapped when loading and feeding wire during set up and operaon.
When feeding wire be careful to avoid poinng it at other people or towards your body.
Always ensure machine covers and protecve devices are in operaon.
Risks due to magnec elds
The magnec elds created by high currents may aect the operaon of pacemakers or
electronically controlled medical equipment.
Wearers of vital electronic equipment should consult their physician before beginning any arc
welding, cung, gouging or spot welding operaons.
Do not go near welding equipment with any sensive electronic equipment as the magnec
elds may cause damage.
Keep the torch cable and work return cable as close to each other as possible throughout their length.
This can help minimise your exposure to harmful magnec elds.
Do not wrap the cables around the body.
Handling of compressed gas cylinders and regulators
Mishandling gas cylinders can lead to rupture and the release of high pressure gas.
Always check the gas cylinder is the correct type for the welding to be carried out.
Always store and use cylinders in an upright and secure posion.
All cylinders and pressure regulators used in welding operaons should be handled with care.
Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
Always secure the cylinder safely and never move with regulator and hoses connected.
Use a suitable trolley for moving cylinders.
Regularly check all connecons and joints for leaks.
Full and empty cylinders should be stored separately.
Never deface or alter any cylinder
