D Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.

D Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before starting to weld again.

DDo not block or filter airflow to unit.

STATIC (ESD) can damage PC boards.

DPut on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling

boards or parts.

D Use proper static-proof bags and boxes to store, move, or ship PC boards.

DThe user is responsible for having a qualified electrician promptly correct any interference problem resulting from the installation.

DIf notified by the FCC about interference, stop using the equipment at once.

DHave the installation regularly checked and maintained.

DKeep high-frequency source doors and panels tightly shut, keep spark gaps at correct setting, and use grounding and shielding to minimize the possibility of interference.

ARC WELDING can cause interference.

D Electromagnetic energy can interfere with sensitive electronic equipment such as micro- processors, computers, and computer-driven equipment such as robots.

DBe sure all equipment in the welding area is electromagnetically compatible.

DTo reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor.

DLocate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive elec- tronic equipment.

DBe sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual.

DIf interference still occurs, the user must take extra measures such as moving the welding machine, using shielded cables, using line filters, or shielding the work area.
