•
Wear suitable clothing, avoid any clothing of synthetic
material.
•
Wear heady-duty insulating shoes.
•
Make sure that working area is properly ventilated to
prevent accumulation of harmful fumes and toxic smoke
•
Never work in wet places without efficient safety
measures against electrical discharges
•
After the work, the electrode has to be taken from the
electrode tongs to prevent undesired arc formation.
•
The welding machine should not be used or stored in
rain.
•
If the unit is in operation, the electrode tongs should not
be put on the unit or other electric appliances as the
safety device may get damaged or disconnected when
grounded.
•
Do not touch the electrode or another metal object in
contact with the electrode while welding is in progress
Check that all cables are coated (mainly the contacts
•
with the power cable). The cables with insufficient
insulation should be immediately replaced with the same
size cables meeting the regulations.
•
Disconnect the unit from the source where not used.
•
The unit may influence supply of other units according to
characteristics of the mains. Seek advice from an

Having changed from 230 V to 400 V, take steps as
follows:
1.
Unplug the unit.
2.
Put the switch at #0$.
3.
Remove the lock screw and fit it on the 400 V side.
4.
Before putting the unit in operation again, make sure that
the knob may be turn in position 400 V and cannot be
turned in position 230 V.
The unit may be used at a room temperature from 20°C
-
without the thermal protection being put on with the
number of reference electrodes n
condition without switching the thermal protection on.
The earthing tongs need to be connected with the piece
-
to be welded in a way providing for a good contact. The
touch points should be cleaned so that no grease or
other impurities that could adversely affect the welding
output are present.
The unit has a main switch, yellow light indicator,
-
thermal protection and a hand wheel to control the
welding current. The control is done with regard to
welding current valuea and electrode diameter.
