IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT, READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS
MANUAL, WHICH MUST BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL USERS FOR THE
ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHINE. THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED
SOLELY FOR WELDING OPERATIONS.

1 Safety precautions.

ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. The user
must therefore be educated against the hazards, summarized below, inherent in
welding. For more detailed information, order the manual code 3.300.758.
ELECTRIC SHOCK - May be fatal.
• Install and earth the welding machine according to the applicable regulations.
• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, gloves or wet clothing.
• Isolate yourselves from both the earth and the workpiece.
• Make sure your working position is safe.
FUMES AND GASES - May be hazardous to your health.
• Keep your head away from fumes.
• Work in the presence of adequate ventilation, and use ventilators around the arc to prevent
gases from forming in the work area.
ARC RAYS - May injure the eyes and burn the skin.
• Protect your eyes with welding masks fitted with filtered lenses, and protect your body with
appropriate safety garments.
• Protect others by installing adequate shields or curtains.
RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS.
• Sparks (splatters) may cause fires and burn the skin; you should therefore make sure there are
no flammable materials in the area, and wear appropriate protective garments.
NOISE.
• This machine does not directly produce noise exceeding 80dB. The plasma cutting/welding
procedure may produce noise levels beyond said limit; users must therefore implement all
precautions required by law.
PACEMAKER.
• The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect the operation of pacemakers. Wearers
of vital electronic equipment (pacemakers) should consult their physician before beginning any
arc welding, cutting, gouging or spot welding operations.
EXPLOSIONS.
• Do not weld in the vicinity of containers under pressure, or in the presence of explosive dust,
gases or fumes. All cylinders and pressure regulators used in welding operations should be
handled with care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY.
• This machine is manufactured in compliance with the instructions contained in the harmonized
standard IEC 60974.10, and must be used solely for professional purposes in an industrial
environment.
• There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in non-industrial
environments.
• In case of malfunctions, request assistance from qualified personnel.
DISPOSING OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT.
• Do not dispose of electrical equipment together with normal waste!
• In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste from electrical and electronic
equipment and its implementation in national legislation, electrical equipment at the end of its
life-span must be collected separately and sent to an ecologically compatible recycling plant.
• The owner of the equipment must ask our local representative about approved collection
plants. Applying this European Directive will improve the environmental situation and human
health!
