WARNING! Switch off and remove the plug from the mains before adjusting, cleaning or if the
cable is cut, damaged or entangled.
This welding unit is Class 1 and requires an earthed (grounded) connection. An earth spike must be
used with generators.
This unit is supplied in either 110 volt or 230 volt operation. Check the rating plate on the side of
the unit for the correct supply voltage.
The power source must be capable of providing 3500 Watts.
Extension cables should only be used if they comply with the H07RNF harmonized standard. They
must be fitted with connectors to the BS EN 60309-2 standard. All cables must be unwound from
the reel to stop inductive heating effects. The cable dimensions should be as follows:

It is recommended for increased electrical safety to use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a
tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your RCD every time you use it. The supply
cable must be inspected for signs of damage before each use and the equipment may only be used
if in perfect condition. Damaged cables must be replaced by an approved service agent. This
equipment is classified as “Portable for use on industrial applications”, and must undergo a formal
electrical safety check (Portable Appliance Test) as per local regulations.
