SAFETY WARNINGS
This equipment is designed solely for industrial or
professional use. As such, only experienced or ful-
ly-trained people should use the equipment. The user
and/or owner is responsible for ensuring inexperienced person-
nel does not have access to the equipment.
A workman must look after his tools carefully ! Remem-
ber that any tool or equipment can become a hazard if
it is not looked after properly.
Equipment in a state of disrepair or neglect can be dangerous. If it
does not operate properly or overheats, the electricity supply should
be removed immediately and the unit should be returned to the sup-
plier for repair.
Read this manual carefully before using your Welder. You can
then do a better and safer job.
By reading this manual you will learn more about the possibilities, limi-
tations and potential dangers of the work of cutting.
Retain this manual for the entire life of the equipment. It should be
kept within the operator's reach at all times.
All equipment connected to electric power supplies can
be dangerous if the manufacturers instructions are not
read and observed. Read, understand and observe these safety instruc-
tions to reduce the risk of death or injury from electric shock. Ensure
that even bystanders are aware of, and understand, the dangers that
exist in the welding area.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to per-
sons or property resulting from an inexpert use, improper or
careless of their equipment.
The safety information contained in this manual is a guide to
ensure you are not subjected to unnecessary risks. However,
the operator must be competent and careful at all times.
Fires and explosions can seriously injure or cause dama-
ge ! Read, understand and observe all safety warnings
to reduce the risk of death or injury from fire or explo-
sion. Pay careful attention to the fact that any persons assisting with
the cutting operations must be properly educated about the dangers
related to ongoing. Remember that welding, by nature, produces
sparks, hot spatter, molten metal drops, hot slag and hot metal parts
that can cause fires, can burn skin and damage eyes.

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
HIGH VOLTAGE
The unit carries potentially lethal voltage.
The high voltage areas of the equipment have been segregated
and can be reached only by using tools that are not provided with the
Welder.
All maintenance or repair operations requiring access to such areas may
only be performed by constructor-trained technicians.
FOREIGN OBJECTS
Never block the air vents with foreign objects and avoid
any contact with liquids. Clean using just a dry cloth. These safety pre-
cautions apply even when the unit is switched off.
WEIGHT LOADS
The upper part of the Welder was not designed to with-
stand heavy loads. Never stand on the unit.
CABLE GAUGES
Check that all cables are appropriately gauged for
the input power required by your specific Welder.
This precaution applies also to extension cables, if used. All extension
cables must be straight. Coiled cables can overheat, becoming dange-
rous. Twisted or coiled cables can also cause Welder malfunction.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Check that the power source supplying the Welder car-
ries the correct voltage and is safety-protected. The
power switch must open all the power supply circuits. (If a single-
phase connection is used, both the live and the neutral poles must
be open. If a three-wire connection is used , all three poles must be
open. Four-wire circuits require all poles and neutral open).
EARTHING
If the Welder was not already supplied with a plug, connect the
earth wire first. When removing the plug, disconnect the earth
wire last.
PLUG AND POWER SUPPLY
If the Welder already has a plug attached, check that it is
appropriate for the wall-socket you intend using. Never tam-
per with the power cable.
CABLE COLOURS
The green-yellow wire is for earthing. (Don't use it for
anything else !)
RELOCATION 1
Some Welders are extremely heavy therefore care should be
taken when relocating the unit. Check the floor or platform wei-
ght load limitations before relocating the unit if the Welder is to be used,
even only temporarily, in a non-industrial environment
