SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

•Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.

•Insulate yourself from work and ground.

•Always wear dry insulating gloves.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUMES AND GASES can be danger- ous.

•Keep your head out of fumes.

• Use ventilation or exhaust to remove fumes from breathing zone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.

•Keep flammable material away.

•Do not weld on closed containers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

•Wear eye, ear and body protection.

------------------------------------------------------------

See additional warning information at front of this operator’s manual.

-----------------------------------------------------------

CORRECT OPERATIONAL USE

The machine should be located in a clean dry place where there is free circulation of clean air such that air movement in through the front and out through the back will not be restricted. Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine should be kept to a minimum.

Failure to observe these precautions can result in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance shut- down of the machine.

LIMIT ON STACKING

WARNING

FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause

injury.

•Do not lift this machine using lift bale if it is equipped with a heavy accessory such as trailer or gas cylinder.

•Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity.

•be sure machine is stable when lifting.

•Do not stack more than three high.

•Do not stack the DC-400 on top of any other machine.

The units may be stacked three high by observing the following safety precautions:

A.Make sure the first or bottom unit is setting on a level, well supported surface.

B.The units must be stacked with their fronts flush, making sure the two holes in the base rails of the unit being stacked on top are over the two pins located on the top front corners of the unit it is being stacked on.

Input Power Connections

By removing the rear access panel the three phase input power is connected to the three line terminals on the input contactor, and the earth grounding lead to the grounding terminal on the input box floor marked

with the symbol. Install and reconnect panel for the proper input voltage per the diagram pasted inside the access panel cover.
