HAMMER
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Read this instruction manual carefully before using the welding machine.
Resistance welding equipment, hereafter referred to as "welding machine", is
used for industrial and professional applications.
Make sure that the welding machine is installed and repaired only by qualified
persons or experts, in compliance with the law and with the accident prevention
regulations.
These instructions refer to the machine as delivered. In case instructions are not
strictly followed or not recommended accessories and/or tools are used, the user
shall be responsible for assessing the risks and consequences of such acts.
The operator should be properly trained to use the spot-welder safely and should
be informed of the risks connected with resistance welding procedures, related
protection measures and of emergency procedures.

SAFETY WARNINGS

• Make sure that the power socket to which the welding machine is connected is
protected by suitable safety devices (fuses or automatic switch) and that it is
grounded.
• Make sure that the plug and power cable are in good condition.
• Before plugging into the power socket, make sure that the weldni g machine is
switched off.
• Switch the welding machine off and pull the plug out of the power socket as soon as
you have finished working.
• Switch the welding machine off and pull the plug out of the power socket before:
connecting the welding cables, installing the continuous wire, replacing any parts in
the torch or wire feeder, carrying out maintenance operations, or moving it (use the
carrying
handle on the welding machine).
• Do not touch any electrified parts with bare skin or wet clothing. Insulate yourself
from the electrode, the piece to be welded and any grounded accessible metal parts.
Use gloves, footwear and clothing designed for this purpose and dry, non-flammable
insulating mats.
• Use the welding machine in a dry, ventilated space. Do not expose the welding
machine to rain or direct sunshine.
• Use the welding machine only if all panels and guards are in place and mounted
correctly.
• Do not use the welding machine if it has been dropped or struck, as it may not be
safe.
Have it checked by a qualified person or an expert.
• Use a welding mask with adiactinic glass suited for welding. Replace the mask if damaged; it may let
in radiation.
• Wear fireproof gloves, footwear and clothing to protect the skin from the rays produced by the
IT
• Eliminate any welding fumes through appropriate natural ventilation or
using a smoke exhauster. A systematic approach must be used to assess the
limits of exposure to welding fumes, depending on their composition,
concentration and the length of exposure.
• Do not weld materials that have been cleaned with chloride solvents or that
have been near such substances.
