1-3. Additional Symbols For Installation, Operation, And Maintenance

FIRE OR EXPLOSION hazard.

￿ Do not install or place unit on, over, or near combustible surfaces.

￿Do not install unit near flammables.

￿Do not overload building wiring ± be sure power supply system is properly sized, rated, and protected to handle this unit.

MOVING PARTS can cause injury.

￿Keep away from moving parts such as fans.

￿Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and securely in place.

FALLING UNIT can cause injury.

￿Use lifting eye to lift unit only, NOT running gear, gas cylinders, or any other accessories.

￿Use equipment of adequate capacity to lift and support unit.

￿If using lift forks to move unit, be sure forks are long enough to extend beyond opposite side of unit.

OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING

￿Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.

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

￿Do not block or filter airflow to unit.

H.F. RADIATION can cause interference.

￿High-frequency (H.F.) can interfere with radio navigation, safety services, computers, and communications equipment.

￿Have only qualified persons familiar with electronic equipment perform this installation.

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

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

￿Have the installation regularly checked and maintained.

￿Keep 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.

STATIC (ESD) can damage PC boards.

￿Put on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling boards or parts.

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

MOVING PARTS can cause injury.

￿Keep away from moving parts.

￿Keep away from pinch points such as drive rolls.

WELDING WIRE can cause injury.

￿Do not press gun trigger until instructed to do so.

￿Do not point gun toward any part of the body, other people, or any metal when threading welding wire.

ARC WELDING can cause interference.

￿Electromagnetic energy can interfere with sensitive electronic equipment such as computers and computer-driven equipment such as robots.

￿Be sure all equipment in the welding area is electromagnetically compatible.

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

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

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

￿If 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.
