Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazards as shown by the symbols. Electric shock from wiring can kill. Disconnect input plug or power before working on machine. Hazardous voltage remains on input capacitors after power is turned off. Do not touch fully charged capacitors.
3-2. WEEE Label Do not discard this product with general waste. Reuse or recycle Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) by disposing at a designated collec- tion facility. Contact your local recycling office or your local distributor for further information. 3-3.
SECTION 4 − INSTALLATION 4-1. Important Information Regarding CE Products (Sold Within The EU) A. Information On Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) This equipment shall not be used by the general public as the EMF limits for the general public might be exceeded during welding. This equipment is built in accordance with EN 60974−1 and is intended to be used only in an occupational environment (where the general public access is prohibited or regulated in such a way as to be similar to occupational use) by an expert or an instructed person.
4-4. Duty Cycle And Overheating Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min- utes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating. If unit overheats, output stops, a Help message is displayed (see Section 6-3), and cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen minutes for unit to cool. Reduce amperage or duty cycle be- fore welding.

4-11. Electrical Service Guide Elec Serv 2011− 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.
4-12. Connecting 3-Phase Input Power 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. Always connect green or green/ yellow conductor supply grounding terminal first, and never...
