Lincoln Electric INVERTEC 300TP Operator's Manual page 9

WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Remove fire hazards from the welding area
and have a fire extinguisher easily accessible. Welding sparks and hot materials from the welding process
can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Do not weld on any tanks, drums,
containers, or material until the proper steps have been taken to insure that no flammable or toxic vapors
will be present. Never use this equipment when flammable gases, vapors or flammable liquids are
present.
WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN: Welding generates a large amount of heat. Hot surfaces and
materials in work area can cause serious burns. Use gloves and pliers when touching or moving
materials in the work area.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED: Use only certificate, compressed gas cylinders containing
the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to a fixed support. Do not
move or transport gas cylinders with the protection cap removed. Do not allow the electrode, electrode
holder, work clamp or any other electrically live part to touch a gas cylinder. Gas cylinders must be
located away from areas where they may be subjected to physical damage or the welding process
including sparks and heat sources.
MOVING PARTS ARE DANGEROUS: There are moving mechanical parts in this machine, which can
cause serious injury. Keep your hands, body and clothing away from those parts during machine starting,
operating and servicing.
CAUTION: The high frequency used for contact-free ignition with TIG (GTAW) welding, can interfere with
the operation of insufficiently shielded computer equipment, EDP centers and industrial robots, even
HF
causing complete system breakdown. TIG (GTAW) welding may interfere with electronic telephone
networks and with radio and TV reception.
SAFETY MARK: This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding operations carried out in an
environment with increased risk of electric shock.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and/or improvements in design without upgrade at the same time the
