Safety And Protection - Solter aeroprocess 4000 CC Manual De Instrucciones

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing our brand. We hope that the welding machine you have purchased will serve
you well. This instruction manual contains the necessary information and warnings for correct use
within the maximum operator safety conditions. INVERTER welding equipment must be used by expert personnel
who know and understand the risks involved in the use of this equipment. If you have any doubt or queries concer-
ning this manual, please, contact us. Internal manipulation of the equipment involves the risk of electric shocks. We
request you not to carry out any manipulation of the equipment (only technically trained personnel can do this). The
manufacturer denies all responsibility for negligent practices in the use or manipulation of this machine. This manual
must be kept with the equipment purchased. It is the responsibility of those persons who use and repair this machine
to comply with the requirements of the above mentioned regulations.

SAFETY AND PROTECTION

ELECTRICITY
A good and safe installation is essential to ensure the optimum performance of this equipment. Make
sure that the unit is connected to the correct supply voltage.
The equipment must ALWAYS have an adequate grounded (earth) connection.
Electromagnetic fields may interfere with the operation of several electrical and electronic devices such
as pacemakers. We highly recommend people with such devices to avoid using this kind of equipment.
PERSONAL CLOTHING
The entire body of the welder is subject to possible contact with aggressive agents and so must be to-
tally protected. Use safety boots, gloves, oversleeves, gaiters and leather aprons.
BURN PROTECTION
Never touch parts of the wire or the material with your bare hands once soldered. Avoid skin contact with
airborne particles. Do not point the torch at any part of the body.
EYE PROTECTION
Welders and their assistants must use safety masks or goggles with filters which stop harmful radiation
entering the eyes. Use special screens to observe the welding area during the process.
FIRE PROTECTION
The welding process produces flying incandescent metal parts which may cause fires. Do not use the
machine in areas where there may be inflammable gases. Clean the working area of all inflammable ma-
terial. Pay special attention to the protection of the gas cylinders in accordance with the necessary requi-
rements.
PROTECTION FOR GAS CYLINDERS
Cylinders containing shielding gas, store their contents at high pressure. If these cylinders suffer any
form of damage, they may explode. Always treat these cylinders with care and weld as far away from
them as possible.
WELDING IN TANKS WHICH MAY CONTAIN THE TRACES OF INFLAMMABLE MATERIALS INSIDE,
INVOLVES A HIGH RISK OF EXPLOSION. WE RECOMMEND KEEPING AN EXTINGUISHER REA-
DILY AVAILABLE FOR USE.
ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCES
Electromagnetic interferences produced by welding equipment may interfere in the operation of equip-
ment which is sensitive to this kind of interference (computers, robots etc). Ensure that all the equipment
in the welding area is resistant to electromagnetic radiation. In order to reduce radiation as much as pos-
sible, work with welding wires as short as possible and placed in parallel on the floor if possible. Work at
a distance of 100 metres or more from equipment which is sensitive to disturbances. Ensure that the ma-
chine equipment is correctly earthed. If there are still interference problems despite having taken the
above described precautionary measures, the operator must take extra measures such as moving the
welding machine, using filters, using protected cables to ensure that interference with other equipment
does not occur.
RECYCLING
In compliance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electric and electronic equipment, this
equipment must be deposited in your local recycling centre at the end of its useful life.
