Sealey SUPERMIG255 - Manual (Page 3)

2. INTRODUCTION & SpECIFICATIONS
All our Supermig® models are suitable for welding with CO², Argon or CO²/Argon mix. Each uses a Forced Air Cooling System to slow transformer heating in order
to increase duty cycle and a non-live torch to prevent the risk of accidentally striking an arc. Model Nos. SUPERMIG255 / 275 are supplied with an industrial Argon/
CO² regulator. A contract for the supply of gas should be arranged with your local gas distributor.
1.3 VOLTAGE BETwEEN ELECTRODE hOLDERS OR TORChES.
 Working with more than one welding machine on a single piece or on pieces that are connected electrically may generate a dangerous amount of no-load
voltage between the two electrode holders or torches, the value of which may reach double the allowed limit. Measuring instruments should be used to
determine the existence of a risk and suitable precautions taken as detailed in section 5.9 of the IEC TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OF CLC/TS 62081.
1.4
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE.
 The electromagnetic fields generated by the welding process may interfere with the operation of electrical and electronic equipment. Users of vital electronic
and electrical devices such as pacemakers and respirators are advised not to remain in the viscinity of an operating welding machine. If in doubt seek
medical advice before entering a welding area. Users of such devices should not operate the welding machine. This welder complies with the requirements
of the technical standard for the use of this type of product, only and exclusively in industrial environments and for professional purposes. It is not
guaranteed to meet electronic compatibility requirements in the home.
1.5 GAS SAFETY
 Store gas cylinders in a vertical position only and ensure the storage area is correctly secured.
 DO NOT store gas cylinders in areas where temperature exceeds 50°C. DO NOT use direct heat on a cylinder. Always keep gas cylinders cool.
 DO NOT attempt to repair or modify any part of a gas cylinder or valve, and DO NOT puncture or damage a cylinder.
 DO NOT obscure or remove any official labels from a cylinder. Always check the gas identity before use. Avoid getting gas cylinders oily or greasy.
 DO NOT try to lift or handle cylinder by its cap, guard or valve. Always keep caps and guards in place and close valve when not in use.
The gas cylinder is heavy, use mechanical lifting equipment. Ensure the cylinder is correctly situated on the welder base stand and secured with chain.
1.6 RISK ASSESSMENT
 Where welding is unavoidable in awkward situations such as in confined spaces, in environments with increased risk of electic shock, and in the presence of
inflamnable or explosive materials, a risk assessment must be carried out by an experienced and qualified expert professional in consultation with providers
of emergency services to ensure that operations are carried out in the safest possible way.
