The equipment must be used only for the purpose it was designed for. Using it in any other way
could result in damage or injury. Only trained and certified welder should use this equipment.
Operators should respect the safety of others.
Prevention against electric shock
Equipment should be installed by a certified welder and operated in accordance with current
operating standards. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the equipment is connected to a
suitable power supply. Consult with your utility supplier if required.
Earth grounding of the work piece is required, please ground it with a separate cable. Do not use
the equipment if the covers are removed.
Do not touch the parts which are electrically charged. Turn off all equipment when not in use.
Main supply cables and welding cables should be regularly checked for damage and overheating.
Do not use worn, damaged, under sized, or poorly jointed cables.
Make sure you wear the correct protective clothing, gloves, head and eye protection.
Use dry insulating pads or wear shoes to isolate yourself from the ground to prevent the risk of
electric shock.
Never touch the electrodes with your hand, wearing gloves are always required while welding.
Do not wrap cables over your body.
Ensure that you take additional safety precautions when you are welding in electrically hazardous
conditions such as damp environments, wearing wet clothing, and metal structures. Try to avoid
welding in cramped or restricted positions.
Ensure that the equipment is well maintained. Repair or replace damaged or defective parts
immediately. Carry out any regular maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Safety against fumes
Place the device in a well-ventilated location.
Keep your head out of the smoke. Do not breathe fumes.
Make sure the welding area is in a well-ventilated area. If this is not possible, appropriate fume
extraction measures should be taken.
If ventilation is poor, wear an approved respirator. Read and understand Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) and manufacturer's instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners, and
degreasers. Do not weld near any degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
Be aware that the heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating
gases.
Do not weld on coated metal unless the coating has been removed from the welding area, the
area is well ventilated, and a supplied air respirator is worn. Coatings on many metals can
produce toxic fumes if welded.
