SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

These general safety norms cover both arc welding machines and plasma cutting           
machines unless otherwise noted. The user is responsible for installing and operating 
the equipment in accordance with the enclosed instructions.

 

It is important that users of this equipment protect themselves and others from harm, or even death.

 

The equipment must only be used for the purpose it was designed for. Using it in any other way could    
result in damage or injury and in breach of the safety rules.

 

Only suitably trained and competent persons should operate the equipment. 

 

Pacemaker wearers should consult their doctor prior to using this equipment.

 

PPE and workplace safety equipment must be compatible for the application of the work involved.

 

 

Always carry out a risk assessment before carrying out any welding or cutting activity. 

 

General electrical safety

 

 

The equipment should be installed by a qualified person and in accordance with current     
standards in operation. 

 

It is the users responsibility to ensure that the equipment is connected to a suitable power        
supply. Consult your utility supplier if required. 

 

Do not use the equipment with the covers removed. Do not touch live electrical parts or parts 

which are electrically charged. Turn off all equipment when not in use. 

 

In the case of abnormal behaviour of the equipment, the equipment should be checked by a suitably  
qualified service engineer. 

 

If earth bonding of the work piece is required, bond it directly with a separate cable with a current        
carrying capacity capable of carrying the maximum capacity of the machine current. 

 

Cables (both primary supply and welding) should be regularly checked for damage and overheating. 

 

Never use worn, damaged, under sized or poorly jointed cables. 

 

Insulate yourself from work and earth using dry insulating mats or covers big enough to prevent any   
physical contact. 

 

Never touch the electrode if you are in contact with the work piece return. 

 

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 manufacturers instructions.

 

The EMC classification of this product is class A in accordance with electromagnetic compatibility       
standards CISPR 11 and IEC 60974

-

10 and therefore the product is designed to be used in industrial       

environments only. 

 

WARNING: 

This class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical 

power is provided by a public low

-

voltage supply system. In those locations it may be difficult to ensure 

the electromagnetic compatibility due to conducted and radiated disturbances. 

 

 

General operating safety 

 

 

Never carry the equipment or suspend it by the carrying strap or handles during welding. 

 

Never pull or lift the machine by the welding torch or other cables. 

 

Always use the correct lift points or handles. Always use the transport under gear as                      

recommended by the manufacturer. 

 

Never lift a machine with the gas cylinder mounted on it. 

 

If the operating environment is classified as dangerous, only use S

-

marked welding equipment with a safe 

idle voltage level. Such environments may be for example: humid, hot or restricted accessibility spaces.
