STAYER WELDING PLASMA Serie Manual De Instrucciones página 24

• Install equipment and connect it to ground in accordance with
the operator's manual and national, state and local codes.
• Always check the supply to ground – check and make sure that
the power input to the ground wire is appropriately connected
to the grounding terminal at the disconnection box or that its
plug is appropriately connected to the output receptacle that is
connected to ground. When making these input connections,
first connect the ground conductor and double-check the
connections thereof.
• Keep supply cords free of oil or grease, and protected from hot
metal and sparks.
• Inspect power input cord frequently regarding damage or bare
cable. Replace cord immediately if damaged – a bare cable
may kill you.
• Switch off the whole equipment when you are not using it.
• Do not use cables which are worn-out, damaged, very small-
sized or wrongly connected.
• Do not wrap cables around your body.
• When a grounding clamp is required for an operation, make
ground connection by using a separate cable.
• Do not touch the electrode when you are in contact with the
work or the grounding circuit or another electrode of a different
machine.
• Do not put into contact two electrode carriers that are connected
to two different machines at the same time, because in that
case there will be an open-circuit double voltage.
• Use equipment in a well-maintained condition. Repair or
replace damaged parts immediately. Maintain the unit in
accordance with the manual.
• Use safety braces to prevent you from falling down when
working above floor level.
• Keep all panels and covers in place.
• Put the clamp of the work cable in good metal-to-metal contact
to the work or the work table as close as possible to the weld
as it is practical.
• Keep or isolate the grounding clamp when it is not connected
to the workpiece to avoid any contact with any metal or any
grounded article.
• Isolate the grounding bracket when not connected to the
workpiece to prevent it from contacting any metal article.
►HOT PARTS may cause serious burns.
• Do not touch hot parts with your hand without glove.
• Allow that there is a cooling period before working at the
machine.
• To handle hot parts, use appropriate tools and/or put on heavy
gloves, with insulation for welding and clothing to prevent
burns.
►SMOKE and GASES may be dangerous.
Welding produces smoke and gases. Breathing in these gases
and smoke may be dangerous for your health.

• Keep your head out of the smoke. Do not breathe in smoke.
• When you are indoors, ventilate the area and/or use forced
• When ventilation is bad, use an authorized respirator.
• Read and understand the Data Sheets on Material Safety
• Do work within a closed space only if it is well ventilated or
• Do not weld at locations near to operations involving grease,
• Do not weld on coating materials such as galvanized steel,
►BOLTS EMITTED BY THE ARC may burn your eyes and skin.
Bolts emitted by the arc of a welding process produce intense
heat and strong ultraviolet rays that may burn eyes and skin.
• Use an authorized welding mask having a lens-filter shade to
• Use authorized safety goggles having lateral protection.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from
• Use protective clothing made of durable, flame-resistant
►WELDING may cause fire or explosion.
Welding on a closed container such as tanks, drums or tubes
may cause explosion. Sparks may fly from a welding arc. Flying
sparks, the hot workpiece and the hot equipment may cause fire
and burns. Accidental contact of the electrode with metal articles
may cause speaks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and
make sure that the area is safe before starting any welding.
• Remove any inflammable material from within a distance of
• Do not weld where sparks may impact on inflammable material.
• Be alert to that weld sparks and hot materials from the welding
• Always watch that there is no fire and keep an extinguisher
