1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the user's responsibility to check the following:
‰
Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical
9
connections for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products.
Electrical safety information. It is important that the following information is read and understood:
Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.
9
Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.
9
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse.
DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8
DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
8
DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or is replaced immediately by a
8
qualified electrician.
If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch off the electricity supply and remove from use.
Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT use with medical implants. Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug.
8
Cable extension reels. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD fitted
9
is recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The section of the cable on the cable reel is
important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the cable is suitable for this product and for others
that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section cable.
WARNING! Be very cautious if using a generator to power the welder. The generator must be self-regulating and stable with regard to
‰
voltage, wave form and frequency. The output must be greater than the power consumption of the welder. If any of these requirements is
not met the electronics within the welder may be affected.
NOTE: The use of an unregulated generator may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty on the welder.
WARNING! The welder may produce voltage surges in the mains supply which can damage other sensitive equipment (e.g. computers).
‰
To prevent this happening, it is recommended that the welder is connected to a power supply that does not feed any sensitive equipment.
IMPORTANT: If using welder to full capacity, we recommend a 16amp supply. We recommend you discuss the installation of a 16amp
industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
▲ DANGER! Unplug the welding set from the mains power supply before performing maintenance or service.
Keep the welding set and cables in good working order and condition. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.
9
Use genuine parts and accessories only. Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9
Use an air hose to regularly blow out any dirt from the liner and keep the welding set clean for best and safest performance.
9
Check and spray the gas cup and contact tip regularly with anti-spatter spray, available from your Sealey stockist.
9
Locate the welding set in a suitable work area. Ensure that the area has adequate ventilation as welding fumes are harmful.
9
Keep work area clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials. Also ensure the working area has adequate lighting and that a fire
9
extinguisher is at hand.
WARNING! Use welding head shield to protect eyes and avoid exposing skin to the ultraviolet rays given off by electric arc.
‰
Wear safety welding gauntlets.
Remove ill fitting clothing, remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
9
Ensure the workpiece is correctly secured before welding.
9
Avoid unintentional contact with the workpiece. Accidental or uncontrolled use of the torch may be dangerous and will wear the nozzle.
9
Keep unauthorised persons away from the work area. Any persons working within the area must wear a protective head shield and gloves.
