General Welding
Safety Instructions
ƽWARNING Welding processes of any
kind can be dangerous not only to the oper-
ator but to any person situated near the
equipment, if safety and operating rules are
not strictly observed.
Personal Protection
1. ƽWARNING Wear closed, non-flam-
mable protective clothing, without pock-
ets or turned up trousers.
2. ƽWARNING Wear a non-flammable
welding helmet to shield the neck, face
and sides of the head. Keep the protec-
tive lens clean. Replace the protective
lens if broken or cracked. Position a
transparent glass between the lens and
the welding area. Weld in a well ventilat-
ed area that does not open into other
working areas.
3.
ƽWARNING Never look at the arc
without proper protection for the eyes.
4. ƽWARNING Thoroughly clean metal
of rust or paint to avoid producing harm-
ful fumes. Parts degreased with a solvent
must dry before welding.
5.
ƽWARNING Never weld on metals or
coated metals containing zinc, mercury,
chromium, graphite, lead, cadmium or
beryllium unless the operator and the
people standing in the same area use an
air-supplied respirator.
Safety Instructions
For your safety, BEFORE connecting the power
source to the line, follow these instructions:
1. Insert an adequate two-pole switch,
equipped with time-delay fuses, before
the main outlet.
2. Make the single-phase connection with a
two-pole plug compatible with the above
mentioned socket.
3. The two wires of the two-pole input
cable are used for the connection with
the single-phase line. The yellow/green
wire is for the compulsory connection to
the ground in the welding area.
4. When working in a confined space, keep
the power source outside the welding
area and fix the ground cable to the
workpiece. Never work in a damp or wet
area.
5 DO NOT use damaged input or welding
cables.
6.
ƽWARNING NEVER operate the
power source without its panels in place.
This could cause serious injury to the
operator and could damage the equip-
ment.
