4.1 Before you begin welding

35201, ENG - rev. 3, 2006-03
Before you begin welding, be sure to read the instructions in this instruction
manual and that you understand them. Be sure to follow the car manufactur-
ers instructions as well, for example welding parameters.
With the CR500 range, a current from 10,000 A up to 13,000 A is applied to
the work piece. When the current is transferred through the work piece, the
resistance in the metals heats the metal and fuses the metals together to a
weld nugget.
WARNING! Do not operate or place the welder near water, in wet
locations or outdoors. Risk for injuries or damage to the welder.
WARNING! Do not place the welder on an unstable or uneven ground.
The welder might tip, causing personal injuries or serious damage to the
welder.
WARNING! Never spill liquid of any kind on the welder. Risk for injuries
or damage to the welder.
WARNING! Sparks from welding could start a fire. Risk for injuries.
WARNING! Make sure that you know where the fire extinguishing
equipment is. Risk for injuries.
WARNING! Loose cables and hoses present tripping risks. Risk of
injuries.
IMPORTANT! Risk for damage to materials close to the weld, e.g to glass
or textiles.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that all electrical equipment within the welding
object is disconnected. Risk for interference.
IMPORTANT! For good cooling efficiency, never operate the welder
without connecting it to the compressed air network.
