WARNINGS - SAFETY RULES
GENERAL ADVICE
These instructions must be read and understood before any operation. Any modification or maintenance not indicated in the
manual must not be undertaken. Keep this instruction manual for future reference.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage to persons or property resulting from use which does not comply with the instructions
in this manual.
In the event of any problem or uncertainty, consult a qualified person to ensure correct handling of the installation. These instructions cover the
equipment as delivered. It is the responsibility of the user to carry out a risk analysis in the event of failure to comply with these instructions.
WELDING FUMES AND GASES
The fumes, gases and dusts emitted by welding are hazardous to health. Sufficient ventilation must be provided, and an air supply
is sometimes necessary. A fresh air mask can be a solution if ventilation is inadequate.
Check that the extraction system is effective by checking it against safety standards.
Caution Welding in small spaces requires supervision from a safe distance. In addition, soldering certain materials containing lead, cadmium, zinc or
mercury, or even beryllium, can be particularly harmful.
Cylinders must be stored in open or well-ventilated premises. They should be kept upright and secured to a support or trolley. Do not weld near
grease or paint.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical network used must be earthed. An electric shock can cause a serious direct or indirect accident, or even death.
Never touch live parts inside or outside the live current source (cables, electrodes, arms, gun, etc.) as these are connected to the welding circuit.
Before opening the welding current source, disconnect it from the mains and wait 2 minutes to allow all the capacitors to discharge.
If the cables, electrodes or arms are damaged, they must be replaced by qualified and authorised personnel. Size the cable cross-section to suit the
application. Always use dry clothing in good condition to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Wear insulated footwear, whatever the working
environment.
Warning! Very hot surface. Risk of burns.
•Hot parts and equipment can cause burns.
•Do not touch hot parts with bare hands.
•Wait for parts and equipment to cool before handling them.
•In the event of burns, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor immediately.
RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
The welding area must be completely protected, with flammable materials at least 11 metres away.
Fire-fighting equipment must be present in the vicinity of welding operations.
Beware of hot material or sparks being projected, even through cracks, as these can be a source of fire or explosion.
Keep people, flammable objects and pressurised containers at a safe distance.
Do not weld in closed containers or tubes, and if they are open, empty them of all flammable or explosive materials (oil, fuel, gas residues, etc.).
Grinding operations must not be directed towards the welding current source or towards flammable materials.
