• Always keep the machine in good condition. Machines properly maintained are less likely to suffer
breakdowns or cause accidents.
• Check for misalignment or jamming of moving parts, broken parts, or any other anomaly before use.
Many accidents are caused by machines with poor maintenance.
• Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer of your model. Accessories that work for a
specific machine can be dangerous when used with another.
• Do not alter or misuse the machine. This machine was built with accuracy. Any alteration or
modification not specified is a misuse and can lead to dangerous situations.
• The use of an appropriate safety device, such as a thermal and differential switch, is recommended
when using electrical equipment.
REPAIR.
• The repair of the machine must be carried out only by qualified staff. Repair or maintenance
performed by an unqualified person can lead to risk of injury.
• Only the spare parts or accessories recommended by the manufacturer should be used for the
maintenance of the machine. Follow the instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. The
use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may result in the risk of
electric shock or injury.
4. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR WELDING MACHINES.
THERMAL PROTECTION.
The equipment is protected against thermal overloads via an automatic recharge thermostat. When the
set maximum temperature is reached, the protection will cut off the power circuit current and the warning
LED (B) light up. DO NOT TURN OFF OR DISCONNECT THE EQUIPMENT WHILE THE THERMAL PROTECTION
IS ACTIVE, AS DOING SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. After a few minutes, the
warning light will go out and the power will come back. The equipment will then be ready to resume
operation.
CAUTION: Use the equipment only following the procedure provided in this manual. Misuse can be
dangerous for people, animals and things.
The user of the welder is responsible for his own safety and that of others: it is key to read, understand
and align with the basic rules contained in this manual. Make sure that the current absorption and the
protection of the electric line correspond to those of the machine and the outlet.
ASSESSMENT OF THE WORK AREA.
Before installing welding equipment, the user must perform an assessment of potential electromagnetic
issues in the surrounding area. The following should be considered:
•
Other power, control, telephone or signaling cables.
•
Radio and television transmitters or receivers.
•
Computers or other electronic devices and control equipment.
•
Critical safety equipment, for example, protection of automatic machines
•
Personal electronic devices, for example, pacemakers or hearing aids.
•
Calibration or measurement equipment/instruments.
