A WILKINSON STAR LIMITED PRODUCT 12-16 ISSUE 1
Always ensure machine covers and protecve devices are in operaon.
Precauons against re and explosion
Avoid causing res due to sparks and hot waste or molten metal
Ensure that appropriate re safety devices are available near the cung / welding area.
Remove all ammable and combusble materials from the cung / welding zone and surrounding areas
Do not cut/weld fuel and lubricant containers, even if empty.
These must be carefully cleaned before they can be cut/ welded.
Always allow the cut/welded material to cool before touching it or placing it in contact with combusble
or ammable material.
Do not work in atmospheres with high concentraons of combusble fumes, ammable gases and dust.
Always check the work area half an hour aer cung to make sure that no res have begun.
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.
RF Declaraon
Equipment that complies with direcve 2004/108/EC concerning electromagnec compability (EMC)
and the technical requirements of EN60974-10 is designed for use in industrial buildings and not those for
domesc use where electricity is provided via the low voltage public distribuon system. Dicules may
arise in assuring class A electromagnec compability for systems installed in domesc locaons due to
conducted and radiated emissions.
In the case of electromagnec problems, it is the responsibility of the user to resolve the situaon. It may
be necessary to shield the equipment and t suitable lters on the mains supply.
LF Declaraon
Consult the data plate on the equipment for the power supply requirements.
Due to the elevated absorbance of the primary current from the power supply network, high power
systems aect the quality of power provided by the network. Consequently, connecon restricons or
maximum impedance requirements permied by the network at the public network connecon point
must be applied to these systems.
In this case the installer or the user is responsible for ensuring the equipment can be connected,
consulng the electricity provider if necessary.
Materials and their disposal
The equipment is manufactured with materials, which do not contain any toxic or poisonous materials
