SAFETY
TIG µP 253H AC/DC

1.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PREVENTION OF BURNS
To protect your eyes and skin from burns and ultraviolet rays:
- wear dark glasses. Wear suitable clothing, gloves and footwear.
- use masks with closed sides, having lenses and protective glass according to
standards (degree of protection DIN 10).
- warn people in the vicinity not to look directly at the arc.
PREVENTION OF FIRE
Welding produces splashes of molten metal.
Take the following precautions to prevent fire:
- ensure that there is an extinguisher in the welding area.
- remove all inflammable material from the immediate vicinity of the welding area.
- cool the welded material or let it cool before touching it or putting it in contact
with combustible material
- never use the machine for welding containers of potentially inflammable materi-
al. These containers must be completely cleaned before they are welded.
- ventilate the potentially inflammable area before using the machine.
- do not use the machine in atmospheres containing high concentrations of pow-
ders, inflammable gases or combustible vapours.
PREVENTION OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Take the following precautions when working with a current generator:
- keep yourself and your clothes clean.
- do not be in contact with damp or wet parts when working with the generator.
- maintain suitable insulation against electric shock. If the operator has to work in
a damp environment, he must take extreme care and wear insulating footwear
and gloves.
- check the machine power supply cable frequently: it must be free from damage
to the insulation. BARE CABLES ARE DANGEROUS. Do not use the machine if
the power cable is damaged; it must be replaced immediately.
- if it is necessary to open the machine, first disconnect the power supply. Wait 5
minutes to allow the capacitors to discharge. Failure to take this precaution may
expose the operator to dangerous risks of electric shock.
- never work with the welding machine if the protective cover is not in place.
- ensure that the earth connection of the power cable is perfectly efficient.
This generator has been designed for use in a professional and industrial envi-
ronment. For other types of application contact the manufacturer. If electromag-
netic disturbances are found it is the responsibility of the machine user to
solve the problem with the technical assistance of the manufacturer.
