Read this entire installation section before you start
installation.
Safety Precautions
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have
thoroughly read all installation, operating and maintenance
information supplied with your equipment. They include
important safety precautions and detailed operating and
maintenance instructions.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Only qualified personnel should
perform this installation.
Do not touch electrically live parts.
Always connect the machine to an
earthed mains supply.
SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely circulate in
and out of the front & rear louver vents. Dirt, dust or any foreign
material that can be drawn through vents into welder must be
kept to a minimum. Failure to observe these precautions can
result in excessive operating temperatures which can lead to plant
failure.
GRINDING
Do not direct grinding particles towards the welder. An abundance
of conductive material can cause plant failure.
STACKING
This machine cannot be stacked.
TRANSPORT - UNLOADING
Never underestimate the weight of equipment, never move or
leave suspended in the air above people. The machine should
be lifted and carried by the provided strap, or by cradling the
machine. The machine should not be carried by the input, cord,
output cables, or welding gun. Utilize proper lifting techniques
when carrying or lifting the machine to prevent injury.
WARNING
Falling Equipment can cause
injury. Never lift welder with gas
bottle attached. Never lift above
personnel.
TILTING
Machine must be placed on a secure level surface
ENVIRONMENTAL RATING
The welding power source carries the IP21S rating. It may be used
in normal industrial and commercial environments. Avoid using in
areas where water / rain is around.
Read and follow the 'Electric Shock Warnings' in the safety section
if welding must be performed under electrically hazardous
conditions such as welding in wet areas or water on the work
piece.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
This welder must be grounded to earth
CAUTION
The high frequency generator being
similar to a radio transmitter may
cause interference to radio, TV and
other electronic equipment.
These problems may be the result of
radiated interference. Proper grounding methods can
reduce or eliminate this.
Radiated interference can develop in the following ways
1. Direct interference from welder power source
2. Direct interference from the welding leads
3. Direct interference radiated from feedback into power lines
4. Interference from re-radiation by un-grounded metallic
objects
Keeping these contributing factors in mind, installing equipment
as per following instructions should minimize problems
1. Keep the welder input power lines as short as possible and
enclose as much of them as possible in metal conduit or
equivalent shielding. There should be a good electrical
contact between this conduit and ground (Earth)
2. Keep the work and electrode leads as short as possible. Tape
the leads together where practical
3. Be sure the torch and earth leads rubber coverings are free
from cuts and cracks that allow welding power leakage
4. Keep earth lead connection to work in good condition – Clean
area on workbench where earth clamp is situated on a
regular basis.
