SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE EXISTS ON INTERNAL PARTS OF INVERTER POWER
SOURCES AFTER THE REMOVAL OF INPUT POWER.
Turn Off unit, disconnect input power, check voltage on input capacitors, and be sure it is
near zero (0) volts before touching any parts. Check capacitors according to instructions in
Maintenance Section of Owner's Manual or Technical Manual before touching any parts.
EXPLODING PARTS CAN INJURE.
On inverter power sources, failed parts can explode or cause other parts to explode when
power is applied. Always wear a face shield and long sleeves when servicing inverters.
FLYING SPARKS CAN CAUSE INJURY.
• Wear approved face shield or safety goggles with side shields.
• Wear proper body protection to protect skin.Wear flame-resistant ear plugs or ear muffs to
prevent sparks from entering ears.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN EYES AND SKIN.
Arc rays from the cutting process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared
rays that can burn eyes and skin.
• Wear face protection (helmet or shield) with correct shade of filter to protect your face and
eyes when cutting or watching.
• Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet or shield.
