SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

CAUTION
This power source should not be subjected to rain or snow,
nor should any parts of it be submerged in water. Doing so
may cause improper operation as well as pose a safety
hazard. The best practice is to keep the machine in a dry,
sheltered area.

LOCATION AND VENTILATION

The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted flow of clean,
cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid restricting the cooling air
outlets. Also, locate the welder so that the engine exhaust fumes are
properly vented to an outside area.
Locate the machine away from radio controlled machinery. Normal
operation of the welder may adversely affect the operation of RF
controlled equipment, which may result in bodily injury or damage to
the equipment.
The EMC or RF classification of this equipment is Class A.
STACKING
The Square Wave TIG 200 inverter machine CANNOT be stacked.

TILTING

CAUTION
The bottom of machine must always be placed on a firm,
secure, level surface. There is a danger of the machine
toppling over if this precaution is not taken.
Do not place or operate the machines on a surface with an incline
greater than 15° from horizontal.
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely circulate in
through the rear louvers and out through the front side. Water, dirt,
dust or any foreign material that can be drawn into the welder should
be kept to a minimum. Failure to observe these precautions can result
in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance shutdowns.
