10.1 Working environment

1) Welding should be carried out in dry environment with humidity of 90% or less.
2) The temperature of the working environment should be between -10℃ and 40℃.
3) Avoid welding in the open air unless sheltered from sunlight and rain. Keep it dry at all
times and do not place it on wet ground or in puddles.
4) Avoid welding in dusty area or environment with corrosive chemical gas.
5) Gas shielded arc welding should be operated in environment without strong airflow.
Safety tips
Overcurrent/overvoltage/overheating protection circuit is installed in this machine. When the
mains voltage, output current or inner temperature exceeds the set standard, the machine will
stop automatically. However, excessive use (e.g. too high voltage) of machine will lead to welder
damage. Therefore, please note:
1) Ventilation
This welder can create powerful welding current that has strict cooling requirements that cannot
be met with natural ventilation. Therefore the internal fan is very important in enabling the
machine to work steadily with effective cooling. The operator should make sure that the louvers
be uncovered and unblocked. The minimum distance between the machine and nearby objects
should be 30cm. Good ventilation is of critical importance to the normal performance and
lifespan of the machine.
