Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazards as shown by the symbols. Electric shock from wiring can kill. Disconnect input plug or power before working on machine. Hazardous voltage remains on input capacitors after power is turned off. Do not touch fully charged capacitors.
3-2. WEEE Label (For Products Sold Within The EU) Do not discard product (where ap- plicable) with general waste. Reuse or recycle Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) by disposing at a designated collec- tion facility. Contact your local recycling office or your local distributor for further information.

4-3. Duty Cycle And Overheating Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min- utes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating. If unit overheats, output stops, a Help message is displayed and cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen min- utes for unit to cool. Reduce amper- age or voltage, or duty cycle before welding.

5-3. Electrical Service Guide NOTICE − INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. NOTICE − Actual input voltage should not be 10% less than minimum and/or 10% more than maximum input voltages listed in table. If actual input voltage is outside this range, output may not be be available.
5-4. Weld Output Terminals And Selecting Cable Sizes ARC WELDING can cause Electromagnetic Interference. To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor. Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment. Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual.
