3.01 Environment

These units are designed for use in environments with
increased hazard of electric shock.
A. Examples of environments with increased hazard
of electric shock are:
1. In locations in which freedom of movement
is restricted, so that the operator is forced
to perform the work in a cramped (kneeling,
sitting or lying) position with physical contact
with conductive parts.
2. In locations which are fully or partially limited
by conductive elements, and in which there
is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental
contact by the operator.
B. Environments with increased hazard of electric
shock do not include places where electrically
conductive parts in the near vicinity of the operator,
which can cause increased hazard, have been
insulated.

3.02 Location

Be sure to locate the welder according to the following
guidelines:
A. In areas, free from moisture and dust.
B. Ambient temperature between 0° C to 40° C.
C. In areas, free from oil, steam and corrosive gases.
D. In areas, not subjected to abnormal vibration or
shock.
E. In areas, not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
F. Place at a distance of 300mm or more from walls
or similar that could restrict natural air flow for
cooling.

3.03 Ventilation

Since the inhalation of welding fumes can be harmful,
ensure that the welding area is effectively ventilated.

INSTALLATION

3.04 Mains Supply Voltage
Requirements
The Mains supply voltage should be within ± 10% of
the rated Mains supply voltage. If actual Mains Supply
Voltage is outside this range Welding Current may
not be available and may cause internal components
to fail.
Refer to Specifications on page 2-4 for Supply Voltage
information.
The Welding Power Source must be:
• Correctly installed, if necessary, by a qualified
electrician.
• Correctly earthed (electrically) in accordance
with local regulations.
• Connected to the correct size power point and
fuse as per the Specifications on page 2-4.
This product has been fitted with a supply
plug as indicated in Section 2.10. Note
that the welding output range applicable
with the fitted supply plug is detailed in
Section 2.10.
Any electrical work must be carried out by
a qualified Electrical Tradesperson.

3.05 Generators

Refer to Note 4 on page 2-5 for recommendations
when using with a Generator.
