The power supply must match the technical
specifications of the power tool, and it must be
grounded.
The power cord must be plugged into a socket with
differential protection. The circuit breaker must be set to
trip when there is a maximum fault current of 30mA.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or operate it in wet or
damp conditions. The presence of water in a power tool
increases the risk of damage and electric shock to the user.
Never use the power cord to pull, carry or unplug the power
tool. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
Keep the power cord and plug away from heat sources, oil
and sharp objects.
Check the condition of the power cord regularly, if it is
damaged, it must be replaced or repaired by a qualified
technician. Do not touch it and remove the plug from the
socket immediately. Never operate the power pool with a
damaged power cord.
Never change the power cord plug and use a socket which
is compatible with the plug. Do not use any kind of socket
adaptor.
If the power cord is too long, the electric current may drop,
causing a decrease on the welding quality. The voltage
must be kept stable during the welding process.
The use of extension cords to connect the power cord is not
recommended. However, if you use an extension cord, you
should take some precautions, such as:
▪ If you operate the power tool outdoors, use only
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a
suitable extension cord reduces the risk of electric
shock;
▪ Only use extension cords with 3 wires, plugs and sockets
with earth-pin;
▪ The cross-section of the extension cord's cables shall be
proportional to the length and with the same
characteristics as or larger than the pipe welding
machine's power cord;
▪ Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine the
extension cords before using them and replace if
necessary;
▪ Always unplug the extension cord before removing the
plug from the power tool;
▪ When using an extension cord reel, unroll the cord
completely.
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual and
are not familiarized with how to operate the pipe welding
machine must not use it. Welding must be carried out by a
qualified and experienced personnel who are aware of all
necessary safety procedures.
Before welding, remove solvents, grease removers and
other combustible materials from the work area.
Ensure that the surrounding air does not contain high
concentrations of dust, acid vapours, gases or flammable
substances. You should be particularly careful when
carrying out repair work on pipes and tanks which contain
or have been used to stock combustible liquids or gases.
To ensure that you operate the power tool safely, you
should take into account a few precautions and procedures
before start-up:
▪ Check that the accessories are assembled correctly and
in good condition. Never use damaged accessories;
▪ Replace defective or damaged parts as well as all other
used and worn-out parts;
▪ Check that the safety devices are in perfect condition
and function properly. Never use the power tool if the
safety devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or worn
out.
Make all adjustments and work necessary for the correct
assembly of the power tool if you have any questions or
difficulties, contact your official distributor.
