SAFETY INFORMATION
H.F. Radiation Can Cause Interference
1. High-frequency (H.F.) can
interfere with radio navigation,
safety services, computers,
and communications equipment.
2. Have only qualified persons familiar with
electronic equipment install, test, and
service H.F. producing units.
3. The user is responsible for having a qualified
electrician promptly correct any interference
problem resulting from the installation.
4. If notified by the FCC about interference,
stop using the equipment at once.
5. Have the installation regularly checked and
maintained.
6. Keep high-frequency source doors and
panels tightly shut, keep spark gaps at
correct setting, and use grounding and
shielding to minimize the possibility of
interference.
Electric And Magnetic Fields May Be
Dangerous
1. Electric current flowing through
any conductor causes localized
Electric and Magnetic Fields
(EMF). Welding current creates
EMF fields around welding cables
and welding machines
2. EMF fields may interfere with some
pacemakers, and welders having a
pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.
3. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have
other health effects which are now not
known.
4. All welders should use the following
procedures in order to minimize exposure to
EMF fields from the welding circuit:
5. Route the electrode and work cables
together - Secure them with tape when
possible.
6. Never coil the electrode lead around your
body.
7. Do not place your body between the
electrode and work cables. If the electrode
cable is on your right side, the work cable
should also be on your right side.
8. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as
close as possible to the area being welded.
9. Do not work next to welding power source.
For Electrically Powered Equipment
1. Turn off input power using the
disconnect switch at the fuse
box before working on the
equipment.
2. Install equipment in accordance with the
countries National Electrical Code, all local
codes and the manufacturer's
recommendations.
3. Ground the equipment in accordance with
the countries National Electrical Code and
the manufacturer's recommendations.
Hot Parts Can Cause Severe Burns
1. Do not touch hot parts bare
handed.
2. Allow cooling period before
working on welding gun or torch.
Fire Or Explosion Hazard
1. Do not place unit on, over, or
near combustible surfaces.
2. Do not service unit near
flammables.
Static Can Damage PC Boards
1. Put on grounded wrist strap
BEFORE handling boards or
parts.
2. Use proper static-proof bags and
boxes to store, move, or ship PC
boards.
Overuse Causes Overheating
1. Allow cooling period; follow rated
duty cycle.
2. Reduce current or reduce duty
cycle before starting to weld
again.
3. Do not block or filter airflow to unit.
