• The reel has wheels, it must be stabilised by imobilising the wheels, strapping the machine in position or placing it on
the swivel base designed for installation on a generator.

the electrical connections checked by a qualified person with an insulated tool.
• Avoid bending the torch cables to prevent damage to the sheath.
