REVENTION OF BURNS
During the work-process both the components
involved in the process and the torch can
reach temperatures (higher than 180° C).
Special protective gloves must be used
when you handle the stainless steel work
pieces and during the use of the torch.
Similar precautions must be followed in order
to replace the special pads and the inserts.
E
LECTROLYTIC SOLUTIONS
To operate this machine you have to use

products are corrosive or irritating for eyes or
skin.
Do not use products which are different from
the ones stated in this operating manual (in
case of use of other products any guarantee
will be invalidated) moreover do not mix them

intervention of this device, the machine automatically stops working. When the temperature of the inverter is again within the
normal values, the unit automatically starts supplying electrical power.
P
ROTECTION AGAINST SHORT
The machine is equipped with a protection device against short-circuits between the insert installed on torch and the working
pieces. In case of short circuit the safety switch (3), placed on the front of the machine, triggered on and the machine stops. To
