1.2 OPERATIONAL
PRECAUTIONS
The following is a check list for operating personnel to follow to insure minimum system down-time
due to improper operation and handling:
1. To AVOID severe equipment damage VERIFY that the M-415 is connected to the correct
Input AC power (see section 3.4).
2. Before operating, check all fittings and connectors for proper seating and that all protective
boots are in place. If not properly seated or protected, short circuits, poor connections or
inert gas leaks could occur.
3. The M-415 is intended for typical GTAW gases ONLY. NEVER CONNECT OXYGEN OR
ACETYLENE TO THE M-415.
4. Before operating, insure that all cables are routed or protected in such a way that they will
not be subject to heat, equipment and/or personnel traffic. Insure that the cables DO NOT
come in contact with HOT PIPE.
5. When storing or handling cables, always keep the protective boots and dust caps on all
connectors and fittings until ready to install. A major cause of downtime in any automatic
welding system is improper care and use of cables.
