Welding and cutting is dangerous to the operator, other people in, or near, the
working area, and the surrounding environment, if the equipment is not
correctly operated. Therefore, the performance of welding/cutting must be
carried out under the strict and comprehensive observance of all relevant safety
regulations.
Please read and understand this instruction manual carefully before the
installation and operation
Safety Precautions — Read before using this equipment
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The
electrode and work circuit is electrically live whenever the machine is switched
on. The input power circuit and machine internal circuits are also live when
power cable is connected to the mains supply. Incorrectly installed or improperly
earthed equipment is a hazard.
•
Do not touch live electrical parts.
•
Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
•
Insulate yourself from the work-piece and ground by using dry insulating
mats or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work or
ground.
•
Do not touch the electrode if you are in direct contact with the work-piece
•
Always make certain that this equipment is correctly earthed
•
Check the input cable regularly for damage or bare wiring have it replaced
immediately if damaged, by a competent person, remember bare wiring can
kill
•
Do not use worn, damaged or undersized cables
•
Do not drape or wrap cables around your body
•
Make sure that all panels and covers are securely in place when using this
equipment
•
Always make sure that output cables are securely fastened to the output
sockets
•
Always clamp the work cable with clean metal to metal contact to the
work-piece or bench as near to the welding area as possible
Important!
Inverters carry a significant amount of DC voltage even after they have been
disconnected from the mains supply. Do not remove the covers or touch any
internal components before the input capacitors have been properly discharged
by a trained and competent person!
