WARNINGS - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions must be read and fully understood before use.
Do not carry out any alterations or maintenance work that is not directly specified in this manual.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage to persons or property resulting from use not in accordance with the instructions
in this manual.
In the event of problems or uncertainties, please consult a qualified person to handle the installation properly.
The instructions concern the equipment in the condition it was delivered. It is the responsibility of the user to analyse the risks taken
when not following the instructions published by GYS.
ENVIRONMENT
This equipment should only be used for welding operations performed within the limits indicated on the information panel and/or in
this manual. These safety guidelines must be observed. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible in the event of improper or
dangerous use.
The machine must be set up somewhere free from dust, acid, flammable gases or any other corrosive substances. This also applies
to storage on the unit. Operate the machine in an open, or well-ventilated area.
Temperature range:
Use between -10 and +40°C (+14 and +104°F).
Store between -20 and +55°C (-4 and 131°F).
Air humidity:
Lower than or equal to 50% at 40°C (104°F).
Lower than or equal to 90% at 20°C (68°F).
Altitude: Up to 1,000 m above sea level (3280 feet).
PROTECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Capacitive discharge equipment can be dangerous and cause serious injury or death. The unit is intended to be operated by qualified
personnel who have received appropriate training in the use of the machine (eg: panel beater training).
Welding exposes people to a dangerous source of heat, sparks, electromagnetic fields (caution for those fitted with pacemakers), the
risk of electrocution, as well as noise and gaseous fumes.
To protect yourself and others, please observe the following safety instructions:
To protect yourself from burns and radiation, wear insulating, dry and fireproof clothing without lapels. Ensure the
clothing is in good condition and that covers the whole body.
Wear protective gloves which provide electrical and thermal insulation.
Use welding protection and/or a welding helmet with a sufficient level of protection (depending on the specific use).
Protect your eyes during cleaning procedures. Contact lenses are specifically forbidden.
It may sometimes be necessary to mark off areas with fireproof curtains in order to protect others from splashes,
sparks, and arc-eye.
Ask people around the working area to look away from at the arc and molten metal, and to wear protective clothing.
Wear noise protection headphones if the welding process becomes louder than the permissible limit (this is also
applicable to anyone else in the welding area).
Newly welded parts are hot and can cause burns when handled.
It is important to secure the working area before leaving it, in order to protect people and property.
WELDING FUMES AND GAS
The fumes, gases and dusts emitted by welding are harmful to health. Sufficient ventilation must be provided
and an additional air supply may be required. An air-fed mask could be a solution in situations where there is
inadequate ventilation.
Check the extraction system's performance against the relevant safety standards.
Care should be taken when welding in confined spaces, and supervision from a safe distance is essential. In addition, the welding of
certain materials containing lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium may be particularly harmful.
Remove any grease from workpieces before welding. Welding should not be carried out near grease or paint.
