THANK YOU FOR SELECTING A QUALITY PRODUCT BY LINCOLN ELECTRIC.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment have to be used by qualified personnel. Be sure that all installation, operation, maintenance and repair procedures are performed
only by qualified person. Read and understand this manual before operating this equipment. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could
cause serious personal injury, loss of life, or equipment damage. Read and understand the following explanations of the warning symbols. Lincoln
Electric is not responsible for damages caused by improper installation, improper care or abnormal operation.
WARNING: This symbol indicates that instructions must be followed to avoid serious personal injury, loss of life, or equipment damage.
Protect yourself and others from possible serious injury or death.
READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTIONS: Read and understand this manual before operating this equipment. Arc welding can be
hazardous. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could cause serious personal injury, loss of life, or equipment damage.
Before any internal verifications and repair work, make sure that the equipment is separated from the electric installation by electrical
isolation (by electrical isolation is meant a group of operations designed
to separate and keep the equipment de-energized).
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL: Welding equipment generates high voltages. Do not touch the electrode, work clamp, or connected work
pieces when this equipment is turned on. Insulate yourself from the electrode, work clamp, and connected work pieces.
ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Regularly inspect the input, electrode, and work clamp cables. If any insulation damage exists
replace the cable immediately. Do not place the electrode holder directly on the welding table or any other surface in contact with the
work clamp to avoid the risk of accidental arc ignition. At least every six months, you must check the proper condition of the insulation
and connections of the electric equipment and accessories
such as plugs, flexible wires, ducts, connectors, extension leads, part holders, electrode-holders, or torches etc.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD MAY BE DANGEROUS: Electric current flowing through any conductor creates electromagnetic field (EMF).
EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker shall consult their physician before operating
his equipment.
Never wrap the welding/cutting cable round your body or rest it on your shoulder;
CE COMPLIANCE: This equipment complies with the European Community Directives.
ARTIFICIAL OPTICAL RADIATION: According with the requirements in 2006/25/EC Directive and
EN 12198 Standard, the equipment is a category 2. It makes mandatory the adoption of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) having
filter with a protection degree up to a maximum of 15, as required by EN169 Standard.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS: Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes
and gases. To avoid these dangers the operator must use enough ventilation or exhaust to keep fumes and gases away from
the breathing zone.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN: Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when
welding or observing. To protect the skin, use suitable clothing made of durable, fireproof material. Protect other nearby personnel
with suitable, non-flammable screening and warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc.
WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Remove fire hazards from the welding area and have a fire extinguisher easily
accessible. Welding sparks and hot materials from the welding process can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent
areas. Do not weld on any tanks, drums, containers, or material until the proper steps have been taken to insure that no flammable
or toxic vapors will be present. Never use this equipment when flammable gases, vapors or flammable liquids are present.
WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN: Welding generates a large amount of heat. Hot surfaces and materials in work area can cause serious
burns. Use gloves and pliers when touching or moving materials in the work area.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED: Use only certificate, compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the
process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. Always keep cylinders in an upright position
securely chained to a fixed support. Do not move or transport gas cylinders with the protection cap removed. Do not allow the
electrode, electrode holder, work clamp or any other electrically live part to touch a gas cylinder. Gas cylinders must be located away
from areas where they may be subjected to physical damage or the welding process including sparks and heat sources.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN SKIN: Always be sure coolant is NOT HOT before servicing the cooler.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and/or improvements in design without upgrade at the same time the operator's manual.
