INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR ARC WELDING MACHINE
IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT,
READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL, WHICH MUST
BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL USERS FOR
THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHINE.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR WEL-
DING OPERATIONS.

1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE HAR- MFUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. The user
must therefore be educated against the hazards, sum-
marized below, deriving from welding operations. For
more detailed information, order the manual code
3.300.758
ELECTRIC SHOCK - May be fatal.
· Install and earth the welding machine according
to the applicable regulations.
· Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, gloves or wet clothing.
· Isolate yourselves from both the earth and the workpiece.
· Make sure your working position is safe.
FUMES AND GASES - May be hazardous to your health. · Keep your head away from fumes.
· Work in the presence of adequate ventilation,
and use ventilators around the arc to prevent ga-
ses from forming in the work area.
ARC RAYS - May injure the eyes and burn the skin.
· Protect your eyes with welding masks fi tted with
fi ltered lenses, and protect your body with appro-
priate safety garments.
· Protect others by installing adequate shields or curtains.
RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS.
· Sparks (sprays) may cause fi res and burn the
skin; you should therefore make sure there are no
fl ammable materials in the area, and wear appro-
priate protective garments.
NOISE.
This machine does not directly produce noise ex-
ceeding 80dB. The plasma cutting/welding pro-
cedure may produce noise levels beyond said li-
mit; users must therefore implement all precautions
required by law.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS - May be dangerous.
· Electric current following through any con-
ductor causes localized Electric and Ma-
gnetic Fields (EMF). Welding/cutting current
creates EMF fi elds around cables and po-
wer sources.
· The magnetic fi elds created by high currents may affect
the operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vital electronic
equipment (pacemakers) should consult their physician
before beginning any arc welding, cutting, gouging or
spot welding operations.
· Exposure to EMF fi elds in welding/cutting may have
other health effects which are now not known.
10
· All operators should use the followingprocedures in or-
der to minimize exposure to EMF fi elds from the welding/
cutting circuit:
- Route the electrode and work cables together
- Secure them with tape when possible.
- Never coil the electrode/torch lead around your body.
- Do not place your body between the electrode/torch
lead and work cables. If the electrode/torch lead
cable is on your right side, the work cable should also
be on your right side. - Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded/cut.
- Do not work next to welding/cutting power source.
EXPLOSIONS · Do not weld in the vicinity of containers under
pressure, or in the presence of explosive dust,
gases or fumes. · All cylinders and pressure regu-
lators used in welding operations should be handled with
care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY.
This machine is manufactured in compliance with the in-
structions contained in the standard IEC 60974-10 (CL.
A), and must be used solely for professional purposes in an industrial environment. There may be potential diffi -
culties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in non-
industrial environments.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT.
Do not dispose of electrical equipment together
with normal waste!In observance of European Di-
rective 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment and its implementation in accordance with
national law, electrical equipment that has reached the
end of its life must be collected separately and returned
to an environmentally compatible recycling facility. As the
owner of the equipment, you should get information on
approved collection systems from our local representati-
ve. By applying this European Directive you will improve
the environment and human health!
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST ASSISTANCE
FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
