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 WELDING OPERATIONS.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. THE USER MUST
THEREFORE BE EDUCATED AGAINST THE HAZARDS, SUMMARIZED BELOW, DERIVING FROM WELD-
ING OPERATIONS. FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION, ORDER THE MANUAL CODE 3301151.
NOISE
This machine does not directly produce noise exceeding 80dB. The plasma cutting/welding procedure may
produce noise levels beyond said limit; users must therefore implement all precautions required by law.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS- May be dangerous.
· Electric current following through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF).
Welding/cutting current creates EMF fields around cables and power sources.
· The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect the operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vital
electronic equipment (pacemakers) shall consult their physician before beginning any arc welding, cut-
ting, gouging or spot welding operations.
· Exposure to EMF fields in welding/cutting may have other health effects which are now not known.
· All operators should use the followingprocedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields 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/torchlead and work cables. If the electrode/torch lead cable ison your
right side, the work cable should also be on yourright 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 regulators used in welding operations should be handled with care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
This machine is manufactured in compliance with the instructions 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 difficulties in ensur-
ing electromagnetic compatibility in non-industrial environments.
