Transportation, lifting and suspension
• Never pull or lift the machine by the welding torch or other cables. Always use the lift points
or handles designed for that purpose.
• Only use a transport unit designed for the equipment.
• Try to transport the machine in an upright position, if possible.
• Never lift a gas cylinder and the welding machine at the same time. There are separate
provisions for gas cylinder transportation.
• Never use a welding machine when suspended unless the suspension device has been designed
and approved for that particular purpose.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowed load of suspension beams or the transportation trolley
of welding equipment.
• It is recommended that the wire coil be removed during lifting or transportation.
Environment
• Protect welding machines from heavy rain and direct sunshine even if it were suitable for
outdoor use.
• Always store the machine in a dry and clean space.
• Protect the machine from sand and dust during use and in storage.
• The recommended operating temperature range is -20 to +40 °C. The machine's operation
efficiency decreases and it becomes more prone to damage if used in temperatures in excess
of 40 °C.
• Place the machine so that it is not exposed to hot surfaces, sparks or spatter.
• Make sure the airflow to and from the machine is unrestricted.
• This electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of professional equipment is usually designed for
industrial use. Such class-A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where
the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system. The machine may
interfere with sensitive home electronic devices.
Gas bottles and pneumatic devices
• Adhere to the instructions for handling pneumatic devices and gas bottles.
• Make sure that gas bottles are used and stored in properly ventilated spaces. A leaking gas
bottle may replace the oxygen in the inhaled air, causing suffocation.
• Before use, make sure that the gas bottle contains gas suitable for the intended purpose.
• Always fix the gas cylinder securely in an upright position, against a cylinder wall rack or
purpose-made cylinder cart.
• Never move a protective gas bottle when the flow adjuster is in place. Put the valve cover
in place during transportation.
• Close the cylinder valve after use.
