3-1 Installation
3.01 Environment
These units are designed for use in environments with increased hazard of electric shock. Examples of environments
with increased hazard of electric shock are:
A. In locations in which freedom of movement is restricted, so that the operator is forced to perform the work in a
cramped (kneeling, sitting or lying) position with physical contact with conductive parts.
B. In locations which are fully or partially limited by conductive elements, and in which there is a high risk of unavoidable
or accidental contact by the operator.
C. In wet or damp hot locations where humidity or perspiration considerably reduces the skin resistance of the human
body and the insulation properties of accessories.
Environments with increased hazard of electric shock do not include places where electrically conductive parts in the
near vicinity of the operator, which can cause increased hazard, have been insulated.
This equipment can't be operated in rain or snow.
3.02 Location
Be sure to locate the welder according to the following guidelines:
• In areas, free from moisture and dust.
• Ambient temperature between 32°F (0°C) to 104° F (40° C).
• In areas, free from oil, steam and corrosive gases.
• In areas, not subjected to abnormal vibration or shock.
• In areas, not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
• Place at a distance of 12” (300mm) or more from walls or similar that could restrict natural air flow for
cooling
!
WARNING
Firepower advises that this equipment be electrically connected by a qualified electrician.
