4-4. Electrical Service Guide NOTICE − INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. Actual input voltage should not be 10% less than minimum and/or 10% more than maximum input voltages listed in table. If actual input voltage is outside this range, output may not be be available.
4-5. Weld Output Terminals And Selecting Cable Sizes* ARC WELDING can cause Electromagnetic Interference. To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor. Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment. Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual.
