Electric shock

Electric shock can kill.
All electric shocks are potentially fatal.
• Do not touch live parts.
• Insulate yourself from the piece to be welded and from the
ground by wearing insulated gloves and clothing.
• Keep garments (gloves, shoes, hats, clothing) and body dry.
• Do not work in humid or wet areas.
• Avoid touching the piece to be welded.
• Should you work close to or in a dangerous area, use all
possible precautions.
• If you should feel even the slightest electric shock sensa-
tion, stop welding immediately. Do not use the machine until
the problem is identified and solved.
• Always fit an automatic wall switch with adequate power,
possibly close to the machine, allowing you to immediately
switch the machine off in case of an emergency.
• Frequently inspect the power supply cable.
• Disconnect power supply cable from mains before replacing
cables or before removing unit covers.
• Do not use the unit without protection covers.
• Always replace any damaged parts of the unit, with original
material.
• Never disconnect unit safety devices.
• Make sure that the power supply line is equipped with an
efficient earth plug.
• Make sure that the work bench and the workpiece are con-
nected to an efficient earth plug.
• Any maintenance should only be carried out by qualified
personnel aware of the risks due to dangerous voltages
necessary for the operation of the unit.
5.7 Pace maker
• Magnetic fields from high currents can affect pacemaker
operation. Persons wearing electronic life support equipment
(pacemaker) should consult their doctor before going near
arc welding, gouging or spot welding operations.
5.8. Caution!
Welding wire can cause puncture wounds.
• Do not press the torch trigger until instructed to do so.
• Do not point the torch toward any part of the body, other
people, or any metal when threading welding wire.
5.9. Moving parts can cause injury.
Moving parts, such as fans, can cut fingers and hands and
catch loose clothing.
• Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and
securely in place.
• Have only qualified people remove guards or covers for
maintenance and troubleshooting as necessary.
• Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and tools away from
moving parts.
• Reinstall panels or guards and close doors when servicing
is finished and before starting the machine.
5.10 Noise
These power source alone do not produce noise
levels exceeding 80 dB. The welding procedure,
however, may produce noise levels in excess of 80
dB, in which case the machine operator must take the neces-
sary safety precautions as prescribed by the national safety
regulation.
