Electric Safety - GYS EXPERT 110 Manual De Instrucciones

Translation of the original instructions
WELDING FUMES AND GAS
The fumes, gases and dust produced during welding are hazardous. It is mandatory to ensure adequate
ventilation and/or extraction to keep fumes and gases away from the work area. An air fed helmet is
recommended in cases of insufficient air supply in the workplace.
Check that the air intake is in compliance with safety standards.
Care must be taken when welding in small areas, and the operator will need supervision from a safe distance. Welding
certain pieces of metal containing lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium can be extremely toxic. The user will also
need to degrease the workpiece before welding.
Gas cylinders must be stored in an open or ventilated area. The cylinders must be in a vertical position secured to a
support or trolley.
Do not weld in areas where grease or paint are stored.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISKS
Protect the entire welding area. Compressed gas containers and other inflammable material must be
moved to a minimum safe distance of 11 meters.
A fire extinguisher must be readily available.
Be careful of spatter and sparks, even through cracks. It can be the source of a fire or an explosion.
Keep people, flammable objects and containers under pressure at a safe distance.
Welding of sealed containers or closed pipes should not be undertaken, and if opened, the operator must remove any
inflammable or explosive materials (oil, petrol, gas...).
Grinding operations should not be directed towards the device itself, the power supply or any flammable materials.

ELECTRIC SAFETY

The machine must be connected to an earthed electrical supply. Use the recommended fuse size.
An electrical discharge can directly or indirectly cause serious or deadly accidents .
Do not touch any live part of the machine (inside or outside) when it is plugged in (Torches, earth cable, cables,
electrodes) because they are connected to the welding circuit.
Before opening the device, it is imperative to disconnect it from the mains and wait 2 minutes, so that all the capacitors
are discharged.
Do not touch the torch or electrode holder and earth clamp at the same time.
Damaged cables and torches must be changed by a qualified and skilled professional. Make sure that the cable cross
section is adequate with the usage (extensions and welding cables). Always wear dry clothes in good condition, in order
to be insulated from the electrical circuit. Wear insulating shoes, regardless of the environment in which you work in.
EMC CLASSIFICATION
This Class B equipment complies with electromagnetic compatibility requirements in industrial and
residential environments.
It is intended for use in a residential site.
Provided that the impedance of the low-voltage public electrical network at the common coupling
point is less than Zmax = 0,35 Ohms, this equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11 and can be
connected to public low-voltage electrical mains. It is the responsibility of the installer or user of
the equipment to ensure, in consultation with the distribution netwtork operator if necessary, that
the network impedance complies with the impedance restrictions.
This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-12 standard.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCES
The electric currents flowing through a conductor cause electrical and magnetic fields (EMF). The
welding current generates an EMF field around the welding circuit and the welding equipment.
The EMF fields may disrupt some medical implants, such as pacemakers. Protection measures should be taken for
people wearing medical implants. For example, access restrictions for passers-by or an individual risk evaluation for the
welders.
