SAFETY

1.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PREVENTION OF BURNS
To protect your eyes and skin from burns and ultraviolet rays:
- wear dark glasses. Wear suitable clothing, gloves and footwear.
- use masks with closed sides, having lenses and protective glass according to
standards (degree of protection DIN 10).
- warn people in the vicinity not to look directly at the arc.
PREVENTION OF FIRE
Welding produces splashes of molten metal.
Take the following precautions to prevent fire:
- ensure that there is an extinguisher in the welding area.
- remove all inflammable material from the immediate vicinity of the welding area.
- cool the welded material or let it cool before touching it or putting it in contact
with combustible material
- never use the machine for welding containers of potentially inflammable
material. These containers must be completely cleaned before they are welded.
- ventilate the potentially inflammable area before using the machine.
- do not use the machine in atmospheres containing high concentrations of
powders, inflammable gases or combustible vapours.
PREVENTION OF ELECTRIC SHOCKS
Take the following precautions when working with a current generator:
- keep yourself and your clothes clean.
- do not be in contact with damp or wet parts when working with the generator.
- maintain suitable insulation against electric shock. If the operator has to work in
a damp environment, he must take extreme care and wear insulating footwear
and gloves.
- check the machine power cable frequently: it must be free from damage to the
insulation. BARE CABLES ARE DANGEROUS. Do not use the machine if the
power cable is damaged; it must be replaced immediately.
- if it is necessary to open the machine, first disconnect the power supply. Wait 5
minutes to allow the capacitors to discharge. Failure to take this precaution may
expose the operator to dangerous risks of electric shock.
- never work with the welding machine if the protective cover is not in place.
- ensure that the earth connection of the power cable is perfectly efficient.
This generator has been designed for use in a professional and industrial
environment. For other types of application contact the manufacturer. If
electromagnetic disturbances are found it is the responsibility of the
machine user to solve the problem with the technical assistance of the
manufacturer.
