IMPORTANT:
BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIP-
MENT, 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 welding
operations. For more detailed information, order the
manual code 3.300.758.
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 im-
plement all precautions required by law.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS - May be dan-
gerous. Electric
through any conductor causes localized
Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF).
Welding/cutting current creates EMF
fields around cables and power sourc-
es.
The magnetic fields created by high currents may
affect the operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vi-
tal electronic equipment (pacemakers) shall consult
their physician before beginning any arc welding,
cutting, 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 following procedures 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/
torch lead and work cables. If the electrode/torch
lead cable is on your right side, the work cable
should also be on your right 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 contain-
ers under pressure, or in the presence of ex-
plosive dust, gases or fumes. All cylinders
10
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 pro-
fessional purposes in an industrial environment.
There may be potential difficulties in ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in non-industrial
environments.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
and its implementation in accordance with national
law, electrical equipment that has reached the end
of its life must be collected separately and returned
to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
As the owner of the equipment, you should get infor-
mation on approved collection systems from our lo-
cal representative. By applying this European Direc-
tive you will improve the environment and human
current following health!
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST ASSIS-
TANCE FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
