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 to be 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.
WARNING! Be very cautious if using a petrol or diesel generator. The generator must be stable with regard to frequency (Hz), voltage
‰
and wave form. The output must be higher than the power (kVA) of the inverter. The generator must also be self regulating. If any A.M.
feature is not respected the working of the regulation card may be affected. Use of a generator without a regulator may be dangerous and
will invalidate your inverter warranty.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
1.2.1. OPERATOR SAFETY
Operators must receive adequate training before using the inverter.
9
Remove ill fitting clothing, remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
9
DO NOT operate the inverter while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication, or if tired.
8
Stand correctly keeping a good footing and balance, ensure that the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9
Keep unauthorised persons away from the work area. Any persons working within the area must wear the same protective items.
9
Avoid oily greasy clothing. A spark may ignite them.
9
DO NOT touch the work piece close to the weld as it will be very hot. Allow to cool.
8
DO NOT touch the electrode holder immediately after use. Allow the electrode holder to cool.
8
Wear safety welding gauntlets.
9
WARNING! DO NOT place the welding power source on a tilted plane as this may lead to the unit toppling over.
‰
The output is rated at an ambient temperature of 20°C and the welding time may be reduced at higher temperatures.
9
Risk of electric shock: Electric shock from welding electrode can kill. DO NOT weld in the rain or snow. Wear dry insulating gloves.
9
DO NOT touch electrode with bare hands. DO NOT wear wet or damaged gloves. Protect yourself from electric shock by insulating
8
yourself from workpiece. DO NOT open the equipment enclosure.
Use genuine parts and accessories only. Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9
▲ DANGER! DO NOT weld near flammable materials, solids, liquids, or gases, and DO NOT weld containers or pipes which have held
flammable materials or gases, liquids or solids. Avoid operating on materials cleaned with chlorinated solvents or near such solvents.
DO NOT use power source for pipe thawing.
8
DANGER! Vapours from chlorinated solvents (such as de-greasers) can be decomposed by the heat of the arc to form PHOSGENE, a
▲
highly toxic gas, and other lung and eye irritating products.
The ultraviolet (radiant) energy of the arc can also decompose trichloroethane and perchloroethylene vapours to form phosgene.
DO NOT weld where solvent vapours can be drawn into the welding or cutting atmosphere or where the radiant energy can penetrate
8
to atmospheres containing even minute amounts of trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene.
