improper or dangerous use.
The device must be operated in a room where no dust, acids, flammable gases or other corrosive substances are pres-
ent, this also applies to the device's storage environment. Ensure good air circulation when using the appliance.

Use between -10 and +40°C (+14 and +104°F).
Store between -20 and +55°C (-4 and 131°F).
Air humidity:
Less than or equal to 50% at 40°C (104°F).
Less than or equal to 90% at 20°C (68°F).
Altitude:
Up to 1,000 m above sea level (3,280 feet).

PROTECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS

Arc welding can be dangerous and cause serious injury or death. It is intended to be used by qualified personnel who
have received appropriate training in the use of the machine (e.g. body shop training).
Welding exposes an individual to a dangerous source of heat, light radiation from the arc, electromagnetic fields (atten-
tion to those with pacemakers), risk of electrocution, noise and fumes.
To protect yourself and others, follow these safety instructions:
To protect yourself from burns and radiation, wear clothing that is insulating, dry, fireproof, without cuffs
and in good condition; make sure that it covers the whole body.
Use gloves that are both electrically and thermally insulated.
Use welding protection and/or a welding hood with a sufficient level of protection (depending on the
application). Protect your eyes during cleaning operations. Contact lenses are strictly forbidden. It may
be necessary to mark off areas with fire curtains to protect the welding area from arc rays, spatter and
glowing waste.
Inform people in the welding area not to stare at the arc rays or molten parts and to wear appropriate
protective clothing.
Use noise-cancelling headphones if the welding process reaches a noise level above the permissible limit
(this also applies to anyone in the welding area).
Keep hands, hair and clothing away from moving parts (such as the fans).
Never remove the cooling unit's protective casing when the source of welding current is live; the manu-
facturer cannot be held responsible in the event of an accident.
Newly welded parts are hot and can cause burns when handled. When carrying out maintenance work on
the torch or electrode holder, ensure that it is cold enough by waiting at least 10 minutes before under-
taking any work. The cooling unit must be switched on when using a water-cooled torch to ensure that
the liquid does not cause burns.
It is important to secure the work area before leaving it, this is to protect people and property.
