Il reste une TENSION DC NON NÉGLIGEABLE dans les sources de soudage onduleur quand on a coupé l’alimentation. D Arrêter les convertisseurs, débrancher le courant électrique et décharger les condensateurs d’alimentation selon les instructions indiquées dans la partie Entretien avant de toucher les pièces. DES PIÈCES CHAUDES peuvent provoquer des brûlures graves.
ACCUMULATIONS risquent de provoquer des blessures ou même la mort. D Fermer l’alimentation du gaz protecteur en cas de non-utilisation. D Veiller toujours à bien aérer les espaces confi- nés ou se servir d’un respirateur d’adduction d’air homologué. LES CHAMPS MAGNETIQUES peuv- ent affecter des implants médicaux.
LES FILS DE SOUDAGE peuvent provoquer des blessures. D Ne pas appuyer sur la gâchette avant d’en avoir reçu l’instruction. D Ne pas diriger le pistolet vers soi, d’autres per- sonnes ou toute pièce mécanique en enga- geant le fil de soudage. DES ORGANES MOBILES peuvent provoquer des blessures.

SECTION 4 − INSTALLATION 4-1. Selecting A Location Dimensions And Weight 76 lb (34.6 kg) Movement Location 18 in (460 mm) 24 in (610 mm) 12-1/2 in (318 mm) Do not move or operate unit where it could tip. 18 in (460 mm) 17 in (432 mm)
4-2. Weld Output Receptacles And Selecting Cable Sizes ARC WELDING can cause Electromagnetic Interference. To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor. Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment. Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual.

4-5. Electrical Service Guide NOTICE − INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. This welding power source requires a CONTINUOUS supply of input power at rated frequency(+10%) and voltage (+10%). Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. Do not use a genera- tor with automatic idle device (that idles engine when no load is sensed) to supply input power to this welding power source.
4-6. Connecting 1-Phase Input Power Tools Needed: =GND/PE Earth Ground Insulate and isolate red conductor as shown. Connect green grounding conductor to disconnect device grounding terminal first. Connect input conductors L1 and L2 to disconnect device line terminals. 10 Overcurrent Protection Select type and size of overcurrent protection using Section 4-5 (fused disconnect switch shown).
4-7. Connecting 3-Phase Input Power Tools Needed: OM-188 304 Page 18 = GND/PE Earth Ground Installation must meet all National and Local Codes − have only quali- fied persons make this installation. Disconnect and lockout/tagout in- put power before connecting input conductors from unit.
SECTION 5 − OPERATION 5-1. Front Panel Controls Power Switch The fan motor is thermostatically controlled and only runs when cooling is needed. Voltmeter (see Section 5-2) Ammeter/Trim Indicator (see Section 5-2) Ammeter Light Lights when display beneath is indicating amperage.
