1. ELECTRICAL
No por on of the outer cover of the welding controller should be removed by anyone other

disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
BE AWARE !
Capacitors store electrical energy. Check for residual
charge before carrying out any internal maintenance.

use any fluids to clean electrical components as these
may penetrate into the electrical system
Installa on must be according to the se ng up procedure detailed on page 10 of this
manual and must be in line with na onal, regional and local safety codes.
2. FIRE
During welding small par cles of very hot metal are expelled. Ensure that no combus ble
materials can be ignited by these.
3. PERSONNEL SAFETY
Arc rays can burn your eyes and skin and noise can damage your hearing. Operators and
personnel working in close proximity must wear suitable eye, ear and body protec on.
Fumes and gases can seriously harm your health. Use the equipment only in a suitably
ven lated area. If ven la on is inadequate, then appropriate fume extrac on equipment
must be used.
Hot metal spa er can cause fire and burns. Appropriate clothing must be worn. Clothing
made from, or soiled with, combus ble materials must NOT be worn.
Have a fire ex nguisher nearby and know how to use it.
Magne c fields from high currents can affect heart pacemakers or other electronically
controlled medical devices. It is impera ve that all personnel likely to come into the vicinity
of any welding plant are warned of the possible risks before entering the area.
To minimise the risks of exposure to electromagne c radia on, operators should not drape
the welding cables over their shoulders or wrap them around themselves in any way whilst
using the equipment. It is also recommended that operators route the welding earth return
cables away from themselves and do not stand between the two earth return cables during
welding.
