SHOCK HAZARD
Contact with live electrical parts can cause fatal accidents or serious burns. The electrode work piece circuit is live when electricity is supplied to the outlet. The supply circuit and the internal circuits of the machine are also live when the current is switched on. When welding the wire, the feeder, the feeder control panel and any metal parts in contact with the wire are also live. Equipment that is incorrectly grounded constitutes a danger.
•Do not touch any live part.
•Wear insulated safety gloves that are both dry and without any holes, plus body protection.
•Insulate yourself from the work piece and from the ground with appropriate insulation materiel to prevent any physical contact with either the work piece or the ground.
•Switch of the electricity supply or stop the machine before carrying out any maintenance on this machine.
•Install and ground this machine correctly and in compliance with the instruction manual and with local, governmental or national legislation.
•Check the ground of the power supply regularly. Check that the ground wire of the mains cable is correctly connected to the ground terminal in the connection box or that the connector is connected to an output that is correctly grounded.
•When connecting the input, first connect the ground. Double check the connections.
•Check the state of the mains lead and the insulation of the wires regularly – replace the lead immediately if it is damaged as bare wires could cause fatal accidents.
•Switch off the machine when not in use.
•Do not use cables that are worn, damaged, under dimensioned or badly spliced.
•Do not wrap or carry cables around your body.
•If the work piece is to be grounded, ground it with a separate cable – do not use the clamp or the cable of the work piece.
•Do not touch the electrode if you are in contact with the work piece, the ground or another electrode of another machine.
•Only use properly maintained equipment. Repair or replace any damaged components immediately. Carry out maintenance work on the machine according to the instructions manual.
