SAFETY AND PROTECTION

ELECTRICITY
A good and safe installation is essential to ensure the optimum performance of this equipment. Make sure
that the unit is connected to the correct supply voltage. The equipment must ALWAYS have an adequate
grounded (earth) connection. Electromagnetic fields may interfere with the operation of several electrical and
electronic devices such as pacemakers. We highly recommend people with such devices to avoid using this
kind of equipment.
PERSONAL CLOTHING
The entire body of the welder is subject to possible contact with aggressive agents and so must be totally
protected. Use safety boots, gloves, over sleeves, gaiters and leather aprons.
BURN PROTECTION
Never touch parts of the wire or the material with your bare hands once soldered. Avoid skin contact with
airborne particles. Do not point the torch/electrode at any part of the body.
EYE PROTECTION
Welders and their assistants must use safety masks or goggles with filters which stop harmful radiation
entering the eyes. Use special screens to observe the welding area during the process.
FIRE PROTECTION
The welding process produces flying incandescent metal parts which may cause fires. Do not use the
machine in areas where there may be inflammable gases. Clean the working area of all inflammable
material. Pay special attention to the protection of the gas cylinders in accordance with the necessary
requirements.
PROTECTION FOR GAS CYLINDERS
Cylinders containing shielding gas, store their contents at high pressure. If these cylinders suffer any form of
damage, they may explode. Always treat these cylinders with care and weld as far away from them as
possible. WELDING IN TANKS WHICH MAY CONTAIN THE TRACES OF INFLAMMABLE MATERIALS
INSIDE, INVOLVES A HIGH RISK OF EXPLOSION. WE RECOMMEND KEEPING AN EXTINGUISHER
READILY AVAILABLE FOR USE.
