Page 3: General Precautions
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ALL TYPES OF WELDING WARNING: AS WITH ALL MACHINERY, THERE ARE CERTAIN HAZARDS INVOLVED WITH THEIR OPERATION AND USE. EXERCISING RESPECT AND CAUTION WILL CONSIDERABLY LESSEN THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. HOWEVER, IF NORMAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE OVERLOOKED, OR IGNORED, PERSONAL INJURY TO THE OPERATOR MAY RESULT. - Page 4 energy of the arc can also decompose trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene vapours to form phosgene. DO NOT WELD or cut where solvent vapours can be drawn into the welding or cutting atmosphere or where the radiant energy can penetrate to atmospheres containing even minute amounts of trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene.
- Page 5 A container with unknown contents should be cleaned (see paragraph above). Do NOT depend on sense of smell or sight to determine if it is safe to weld or cut. Hollow castings or containers must be vented before welding or cutting - they can explode.
- Page 6 leave a permanent dark area in the field of vision. Before welding whilst wearing contact lenses, seek advice from your optician. PROTECTION OF NEARBY PERSONNEL For production welding, a separate, well vented room or enclosed bay is best. In open areas, surround the operation with low reflection, non- combustible screens or panels.
- Page 7 Examples of conducting objects include, but are not limited to, buildings, electrical tools, work benches, welding power source cases, workpieces, etc. Never touch the electrode and any metal object unless the welding power source is off. When installing, connect the frames of each unit such as the welding power source, control, work table and water circulator to the building earth.

7) SAFETY DEVICES Safety devices such as interlocks and circuit breakers should not be disconnected or shunted out. Before installation, inspection, or service of equipment, shut OFF all power and remove line fuses (or lock or red-tag switches) to prevent accidental turning ON of power. Do not open power circuit or change polarity while welding. -

• other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that other equipment being used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures; It may be possible to avoid the above by changing the time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out. -
Page 10: Screening And Shielding
Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capacitance, selected according to national regulations. -
Page 11: Preparation Of The Working Area
PREPARATION OF THE WORKING AREA The working area must be sufficiently spacious, with low humidity and well- ventilated so as to avoid any fumes which develop from the welding process and from incidental material adhering to the pieces to be welded (oils, paints, tars...) which may cause danger to the operator. -
Page 12: Exhaust Gas Precautions
• NEVER attempt any electrical or mechanical repair unless your are a qualified technician. If you have a problem with the machine contact your local CLARKE dealer. • NEVER use or store in a wet/damp environment. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN. -
Page 13: Preparation For Use
PREPARATION FOR USE FUELLING Fill with fuel, according to the instructions within the engine manual. NOTE: Always use a fuel funnel to fill the tank so as to avoid accidental spillage of fuel. If fuel is spilled it must be removed from the unit and the surrounding area, BEFORE attempting to start the engine. - Page 14 If in any doubt as to whether an appliance is compatible or not, please consult your CLARKE dealer. Additionally, please refer to the specifications to ensure the machine is used under the correct operating conditions.
