4.01 General Safety Precautions
Read and understand the safety instructions at the beginning of this manual prior to operating this machine.
!
WARNING:
Be sure to put on proper protective clothing and eye safeguards (welding coat, apron, gloves, and welding helmet,
with proper lenses installed). See Safety Instructions and Warnings chapter included in this manual. Neglect of these
precautions may result in personal injury.
!
WARNING:
Make all connections to the power source including electrode and work cables, as well as remote control cables, with
the power source turned off. These connections could be electrically live with the power switch ON.
4.02 Overview
Conventional operating procedures apply when using the Welding Power Source, i.e. connect work lead directly
to work piece and electrode lead is used to hold the electrode. The welding current range values should be
used as a guide only. Current delivered to the arc is dependent on the welding arc voltage, and as welding arc
voltage varies between different classes of electrode, welding current at any one setting would vary according
to the type of electrode in use. The operator should use the welding current range values as a guide then fine
tune the welding current to suit the specific application. Refer to the electrode manufacture's literature for
further information.
