OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Check that the power source supplying the Welder carries the
correct voltage and is safety-protected. The power switch must open all the
power supply circuits. (If a single-phase connection is used, both the live and
the neutral poles must be open. If a three-wire connection is used , all three
poles must be open. Four-wire circuits require all poles and neutral open).
Time-delayed fuses or K-standard circuit breakers should be used.
EARTHING
If the Welder was not already supplied with a plug, connect the
earth wire first. When removing the plug, disconnect the earth
wire last.
PLUG AND POWER SUPPLY
If the Welder already has a plug attached, check that it is appro-
priate for the wall-socket you intend using. Never tamper with
the power cable.
CABLE COLOURS
The green-yellow wire is for earthing. (Don't use it for
anything else !)
RELOCATION 1
Some Welders are extremely heavy therefore care should be
taken when relocating the unit. Check the floor or platform wei-
ght load limitations before relocating the unit if the Welder is to be used,
even only temporarily, in a non-industrial environment
RELOCATION 2
Never store or move the Welder in an inclined position or on its
side.
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
The equipment is not suitable for use in washrooms,
shower cubicles, pool areas or similar environments. If
you are obliged to use the unit in such areas, turn off all water sup-
plies and check the area has been evacuated.
OPERATING AND/OR INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT 1
The Welder was not designed for installation or use in areas where it
could be subject to blows or vibration, such as road-vehicles, railway
carriages, cable-cars, aircraft, ships or boats or similar environments (including
cranes, conveyor-carriers or any other mobile equipment prone to vibration)
OPERATING AND/OR INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT 2
The Welder should never be used or stored in the rain or in snow.
OPERATING AND/OR INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT 3
Never use the Welder in an explosive, corrosive, abra-
sive or saline environment.
EXTINGUISHER
Always place an approved fire extinguisher in the immediate vicinity
of the work area. Fire extinguishers should be checked regularly.
LOCATION
Place the Welder well away from heat sources. Place the
Welder in a well-ventilated environment. Place the Welder in
a safe, protected area. It must not be installed outdoors. Do not install the
Welder in dusty environments. Dust can get into the inner parts of the unit
and inhibit cooling. The Welder must be positioned on a flat, stable surfa-
ce that extends further than the units own dimensions in all directions.
CLEAN LOCATIONS
The installation area must be kept clean and dry to be sure the Welder
fans do not draw in small objects or liquids. Not only could the equip-
ment malfunction but a serious risk of fire outbreak could be created.
REPAIRS
Never attempt to repair the Welder yourself. Always
refer to the manufacturer or an authorized repairer.
All warranty provisions will immediately become null and void if any repair,
or attempt to repair, not specifically authorized in writing or handled by
the constructor is carried out. Furthermore, the constructor will accept
no responsibility for any malfunction or damage resulting as a conse-
quence of such unauthorized action.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The Welder must be taken to an authorized Technical Assi-
stance Centre if the equipment has been damaged in any way
or if any one of the following events occurs : liquid infiltration; dama-
ge caused by falling objects; exposure to rain or humidity (exceeding
the specified limits); malfunction; performance failure or if the equip-
ment has been dropped.
SPARE PARTS
Use only manufacturer-recommended spare parts.
Other spare parts could cause equipment mal-
function. The use of non-original spare parts will also result in the war-
ranty provisions becoming null and void, releasing the manufacturer
from any responsibility for malfunction or damage resulting as a con-
sequence of such action.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION !
Welding processes can be dangerous for the operator and bystanders
if the safety warnings and instructions are not heeded.
PERSONNEL PROTECTION
PERSONNEL PROTECTION
Together with the previous instructions, the following
precautions should be strictly observed
PROTECTION MASK
Wear a protective non-flammable welding mask
to protect your neck, your face and the sides of
your head. Keep the front lens clean and replace it if it is broken
or cracked. Place a transparent protection glass between the mask
and the welding area.
CLOTHING
Wear close-fitting, closed, non-flammable, pocke-
tless clothing.
VENTILATION
Weld in a well-ventilated environment that does not have
direct access to other work areas.
EYE PROTECTION
NEVER look at the arc without appropriate eye protection.
FUMES AND GASES 1
Clean away paint, rust or any other dirt from the item to
be welded to avoid the creation of dangerous fumes.
FUMES AND GASES 2
NEVER weld on metals containing zinc, mercury, chro-
mium, graphite, heavy metals, cadmium or beryllium unless
the operator and the bystanders use appropriate air-supplied respirators.
HIGH VOLTAGE PROTECTION
HIGH VOLTAGE PROTECTION
Together with the previous instructions, the following pre-
cautions should be strictly observed
CONFINED SPACES
When welding in small environments, leave the power
source outside the area where welding will take place and
attach the grounding clamp to the part to be welded.
HUMIDITY
Never weld in wet or humid environments.
DAMAGED CABLES
Never use damaged cables. (This applies to both
the power and the welding cables.)
DAMAGED CABLES
Never remove the unit side panels. If the side panels
can be opened, always checked they are closed
tightly before starting any work.
FIRE PREVENTION
FIRE PREVENTION
Together with the previous instructions, the following pre-
cautions should be strictly observed.
Welding operations require high temperatures therefore
the risk of fire is great.
WORK-AREA FLOORING
The work-area flooring MUST be fireproof.
WORK-AREA SURFACES
Work benches or tables used during welding
MUST have fireproof surfaces.
