SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
DO NOT EXPOSE THE WELDER TO RAIN OR USE IT IN WET CONDITIONS: Water entering
the welder will greatly increase the risk of electric shock and equipment damage.
HAVE YOUR WELDER REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The welder is in accordance
with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified
persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to
the user.
Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
Always disconnect the plug from the mains supply before cleaning or servicing etc.
Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations; Don't be
lulled into a false sense of security.
Use of improper accessories may cause damage to the inverter welder and sur-
rounding area as well as increasing the risk of injury.
Do not modify the inverter welder to do tasks other than those intended.
To avoid injury, the work-piece should never be held with bare hands; The work-
piece will become hot during normal welding operations, and stay hot for a period
after the weld is complete.
Appropriate personal protective equipment must be worn and must be designed to
protect against all hazards created. Severe permanent injury can result from using
inappropriate or insufficient protective equipment - Eyes in particular are at risk.
The work should be clamped firmly whilst welding, If its loose it could result in person-
al injury or damage to the machine or item that is being welded.
Do not attempt any repairs to the welder unless you are a competent electrician or
engineer.
Ensure that the machine is connected to the correct supply voltage and protected
by a fuse or circuit breaker of the recommend rating.
Never allow the earth clamp and electrode holder to come into contact with each
other.
Understand the operating environment; Before each use the operator should as-
sess, understand and where possible reduce the specific risks and dangers associ-
ated with the operating environment. Bystanders should also be made aware of
any risks associated with the operating environment.
Electromagnetic fields can interfere with various electrical and electronic devices
such as pacemakers; Consult your doctor before using any electric welder or cut-
ting device.
Keep people with pacemakers away from your welding area when welding.
Do not wrap cable around your body while welding.
If the welder is to be used on business premises - ensure that all local and national
regulations are followed concerning the use of portable electrical appliances at
work.
