SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
ARC WELDINGAND CUTTING CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
The user must therefore be instructed to avoid the following typical welding hazards.
For more detailed information, order manual code 3.300.758.
NOISE.
This device does not itself produce noise levels exceeding 80dB. The plasma cutting/welding
procedure may produce noise levels beyond this limit; users must therefore implement all
precautions required by law.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS. These can be harmful. An electric current flowing
through any conductor produces electromagnetic fields (EMF). A welding or cutting
current generates electromagnetic fields around cables and power sources.
Magnetic fields created by high currents may affect the operation of pacemakers.
Wearers of vital electronic devices (pacemakers) should consult their physician before
beginning any arc welding, cutting, gouging or spot welding operations.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields caused by welding or cutting could have unknown effects on health.
Every operator must observe the following procedures to reduce risks arising out of exposure to
electromagnetic fields:
- Ensure the earth cable and electrode or torch holder remain side by side. If possible, secure together
with tape.
- Do not wrap the cables and electrode or torch holder around your body.
- Never stand between the cable and electrode or torch holder cable. If the cable is located to the
operator's right, the electrode or torch holder cable must be on the same side.
- Connect the cable to the workpiece that is as close as possible to the welding or cutting area.
- Do not work close to the power source.
EXPLOSIONS.
Do not weld in the vicinity of containers under pressure, or in the presence of explosive dust,
gases or fumes.
All cylinders and pressure regulators used in welding operations must be handled with care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY.
This machine is manufactured in compliance with instructions set out in standard IEC 60974-10 (Cl. A),
and must be used solely for professional purposes in an industrial environment. Potential
difficulties may arise when ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in non-industrial environments.
DISPOSING OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT.
Do not dispose of electrical equipment together with normal waste!
In accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and its transposition into national legislation, end-of-life electrical equipment must
be collected separately and sent to an environmentally compliant recycling plant. The
equipment owner must ask our local representative about approved collection plants. Applying this
European Directive will improve the environmental situation and human health!
IN THE EVENT OF MALFUNCTION, REQUEST ASSISTANCE FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
