Regulations for the prevention of accidents

1. Regulations for the prevention of accidents
The use of welding equipment and welding itself are always associated with a certain safety
risk. Therefore each set up and operation of the device assumes that the instruction manual
is understood and complied. The properly used welding machine grants a high degree of
operational security but can, in case of improper handling, lead to property and personal
damage.
Be sure that you observe the following safety rules:

1.1 Connection of the power source

 The installation and maintenance of the system must be carried out in accordance
with the general safety and accident prevention regulations of the legislature.

The state of the power cord and plug must be checked and any damage
eliminated. The electrical equipment must be tested at regular intervals. Use cables of
sufficient diameter.
 The ground cable must be fastened as close as possible to the work area of the work
piece be. Is it connected directly to the building design or too far away from the work
area, this can lead to energy loss or discharging.
 The system may not be used in damp areas and in no case encounter water or other
liquids.
 Direct contact with hands or with wet clothing to components that might be under
tension is to be avoided. Make sure that your gloves and protective clothing are dry.
 When working in damp rooms or on metal surfaces, use protective gloves and work
shoes with rubber soles.
 The system has to be cut off at each interruption, even at sudden loss of power.
Accidental ground contact can lead to overheating of the system and cause a fire.
The system must therefore never be turned on without supervision.
