General Considerations; Grounded Electrical Power - Dukane VWA-4300 User Manual

General Considerations

Please observe these health and safety recommendations
for safe, efficient, and injury-free operation of your welder.
In this manual, the term welder and/or machine both
refer to the linear vibration welder.
Proper Installation - Only operate the welder after all
tooling is installed, and the hydraulic, pneumatic and
electrical systems are properly checked out.
No Unauthorized Modifications - Do not modify
your welder in any way unless authorized to do so by
Dukane Corporation. Unauthorized modifications may
cause injury to the operator and/or equipment damage.
In addition, unauthorized modifications will void the
equipment warranty.
Keep the Service Doors Closed - Do not bypass or re-
move any interlocks unless specifically directed to do so
by Dukane Corporation. The magnetic drivers produce
high electrical voltages which could cause injury or
death. In addition, the hydraulic lift table produces more
than 5,000 pounds of lift force.
Grounded Electrical Power - Operate this equipment
only with a properly grounded electrical connection. Re-
fer to the NEMA L16–30 wiring diagram in Figure 2-2 on
Page 11. If there is any question about the grounding of
your AC power, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
Comply with Regulations - You may be required to add
accessories to bring the system into compliance with
applicable OSHA regulations for machine guarding and
noise exposure.
Operate Safely – Do not operate the welder if under the
influence of alcohol or drugs. Read the warning labels on
prescriptions to determine if your judgement or reflexes
are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do
not operate the machine.
