SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS These general safety norms cover both arc welding machines and plasma cu琀ng machines unless otherwise noted. The user is responsible for installing and opera琀椀ng the equipment in accordance with the enclosed instruc琀椀ons. It is important that users of this equipment protect themselves and others from harm, or even death. The equipment must only be used for the purpose it was designed for.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION Use of Personal Protec琀椀ve Equipment (PPE) Welding arc rays from all welding and cu琀ng processes can produce intense, visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Wear an approved welding helmet 昀椀琀琀ed with an appropriate shade of ...
SAFETY INSTRUCTION Safety against fumes and welding gases The HSE have iden琀椀昀椀ed welders as being an ‘at risk’ group for occupa琀椀onal diseases arising from exposure to dusts, gases, vapours and welding fumes. The main iden琀椀昀椀ed health e昀昀ects are pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstruc琀椀ve pulmonary disease (COPD), lung and kidney cancer, metal fume fever (MFF) and lung func琀椀on changes.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION The working environment Ensure the machine is mounted in a safe and stable posi琀椀on allowing for cooling air circula琀椀on. Do not operate equipment in an environment outside the laid down opera琀椀ng parameters. The welding power source is not suitable for use in rain or snow. Always store the machine in a clean, dry space.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Fire awareness The cu琀ng and welding process can cause serious risks of 昀椀re or explosion. Cu琀ng or welding sealed containers, tanks, drums or pipes can cause explosions. Sparks from the welding or cu琀ng process can cause 昀椀res and burns. Check and risk assess the area is safe before doing any cu琀ng or welding.

CONTROL PANEL LIFT TIG mode parameter se琀ng In the LIFT TIG welding mode, rotate the adjus琀椀ng knob to set the current parameter. Protec琀椀on indicators When the overheat indicator is on, this indicates that the welder has overheated and output voltage ceases. When the welder cools, the indicator will go out and welding can recommence. When the overcurrent indicator is on, this indicates that the welder has entered the overcurrent protec琀椀on mode and the welder stops producing welding output.
CONTROL PANEL - FUNCTIONS Wired (Foot pedal / hand-held) Remote Control A 3 pin remote control socket is 昀椀琀琀ed as standard to the front panel of the machine, (see page 47 for op琀椀onal remote controls) 1) Before welding, press the remote-control func琀椀on bu琀琀on to enable the remote control func琀椀on.
