1.2 User and other persons' protection
Ensure the cooling unit is switched off before dis-
connecting the delivery and return pipes of the
cooling liquid. The hot liquid coming out of the
pipes might cause burning or scalding.
Keep a first aid kit ready for use.
Do not underestimate any burning or injury.
Before leaving work, make the area safe in order to
avoid accidental damage to people or property.
1.3 Protection from electrical shock
• Electric shocks can kill you.
• Avoid touching live parts both inside and outside the welding/
cutting system while this is active (torches, guns, earth cables,
electrodes, wires, rollers and spools are electrically connected
to the welding circuit).
• Ensure the system and the welder are insulated electrically by
using dry bases and floors that are sufficiently insulated from
the earth.
1.4 Electromagnetic fields &
interferences
EMC equipment classification in accordance with EN/IEC
60974-10 (See rating plate or technical data)
Class B equipment complies with electromagnetic compatibility
requirements in industrial and residential environments, includ-
ing residential locations where the electrical power is provided
by the public low-voltage supply system.
Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations
where the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage
supply system. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility of class A equipment in those
locations, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
Installation, use and area examination
This equipment is manufactured in compliance with the
requirements of the EN60974-10 harmonized standard and is
identified as "CLASS A" equipment.
This unit must be used for professional applications only, in
industrial environments.
The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any damage
caused by use in domestic environments.
The user must be an expert in the activity and as such
is responsible for installation and use of the equipment
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
lf any electromagnetic interference is noticed, the
user must solve the problem, if necessary with the
manufacturer's technical assistance.
In any case electromagnetic interference must be
reduced until it is not a nuisance any longer.
Before installing this equipment, the user must
evaluate the potential electromagnetic problems
that may arise in the surrounding area, considering
in particular the health conditions of the persons in
the vicinity, for example of persons fitted with pace-
makers or hearing aids.
Shielding
The selective shielding of other cables and equipment present
in the surrounding area may reduce the problems due to elec-
tromagnetic interference. The shielding of the entire welding
(cutting) equipment can be taken in consideration for special
applications.
1.5 IP Protection rating
S
IP23S
- Enclosure protected against access to dangerous parts by fin-
gers and against ingress of solid foreign bodies with diameter
greater than/equal to 12.5 mm
- Enclosure protected against rain at an angle of 60°.
- Enclosure protected against harmful effects due to the ingress
of water when the moving parts of the equipment are not
operating.
1.6 Cooling liquid
1.6.1 Personal protection
Product harmful if swallowed. Can cause irritation
to eyes, mucous membranes and skin.
Use rubber gloves to prevent contact.
Use safety goggles to prevent accidental splashes.
Wear ordinary work clothes to prevent contact with
the skin.
1.6.2 Disposal
Any leaks or remains of product, after it has been
used, must be treated in a suitable purification plant
or recycled if possible. Do not discharge the used
product into watercourses, ditches or drainage sys-
tems. The diluted fluid should not be discharged into
the sewers unless permitted by the local regulations.
