Warning! When working with the cooling
unit, it should exclusively be used the
coolant supplied by Sol Welding.

1. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Welding, if not opportunely carried out, represent a risk for the safe-
ty of the operator and of all the people which are within the imme-
diate vicinities. It is recommended therefore, to observe some fun-
damental safety rules such as:
-Limit the exposed area to smoke and radiation coming from the
welding area by using special welding light screens (ANTI
REFLEX) or, if possible, reserve a proper room for these industrial
processes.
-Protect the body, in all its parts, with protective clothing and acces-
sories (masks, helmets, etc...) and if possible, clothing needs to be
adherent to the operator's body; use shoes with rubber soles in
order to be opportunely isolates.

-Limit the fumes and gas formation by using clean, not rusted and
not treated metal pieces; contrary, if not possible to operate as
above, is recommended the use of masks in order to favour the
operator's breathing. Vacuums and ventilation systems should be
built in order to grant a continuos air flow.
2. ELECTRICAL EMERGENCY NORMS
-Avoid to work with cables that are in any way deteriorated and
make sure to correctly connect the AC phases and earth on a cer-
tified plug.
-Never wrap ground and/or torch cables around the operator's
body.
-Avoid to operate in humid or wet places without the proper pre-
cautions.
-Avoid to operate with the generator if machine protective panels
(sides and cover) have been removed in order to grant the safety
of both, the operator and the system.
3. ANTIFIRE EMERGENCY NORMS
- Equip the workspace with proper fire extinguishers and periodi-
cally check the efficiency.
- Position on a solid and horizontal surface the generator, making
sure of the presence of a good aeration, do not obstruct the rear
panel, this will let the machine overheat.
- Adopt all the necessary prevention norms in case welding has to
be operated on lubricating or combustible tanks.
