• This device is in group 2, class A in EMC tests according to TS EN 55011 standard.
• This class A device is not intended for use in residential areas where electrical
power is supplied from a low-voltage power supply. There may be potential
difficulties in providing electromagnetic compatibility due to radio frequency

interference transmitted and emitted in such places.
• Make sure that the work area complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Electromagnetic interferences during welding or cutting operations may cause
undesired effects on your electronic devices and network; and the effects of these
interferences that may occur during these operations are under the responsibility of
the user.
• If there is any interference, to ensure compliance; extra measures may be taken,
such as the use of short cables, use of shielded (armored) cables, transportation of
the welding machine to another location, removal of cables from the affected device
and/or area, use of filters or taking the work area under protection in terms of EMC.
• To avoid possible EMC damage, make sure to perform your welding operations as far
away from your sensitive electronic devices as possible (100m).
• Ensure that your welding and/or cutting machine has been installed and situated in
its place according to the user manual.
Before installing the welding and cutting equipment, the person in charge of the ope-

vironment. Aspects
indicated below has to be taken into consideration;
a) Other supply cables, control cables, signal and telephone cables, above and below
the welding machine and its equipment,
b) Radio and television transmitters and receivers,
c) Computer and other control hardware,
d) Critical safety equipment, e.g. protection of industrial equipment,
e) Medical apparatus for people in the vicinity, e.g. pacemakers and hearing aids,
f) Equipment used for measuring or calibration,
g) Immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user must ensure that the
other equipment in use in the environment is compatible. This may require
additional protection measures.
h) Considering the time during which the welding operations or other activities take
place during the day, the boundaries of the investigation area can be expanded
according to the size of the building, the structure of the building and other activities
that are being performed in the building.
In addition to the evaluation of the field, evaluation of device installations may also be
necessary for solving the interfering effect. In case if deemed necessary, on-site
measurements can also be used to confirm the efficiency of mitigation measures.
(Source: IEC 60974-9).
• The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply in the recommended
manner by a competent person. If interference occurs, additional measures may be
applied, such as filtering the network. The supply of the fixed-mounted arc welding
equipment must be made in a metal tube or with an equivalent shielded cable. The
housing of the power supply must be connected and a good electrical contact
between these two structures has to be provided.
• The recommended routine maintenance of the appliance must be carried out. All
covers on the body of the machine must be closed and/or locked when the device is
in use. Any changes, other than the standard settings without the written
approval of the manufacturer, cannot be modified on the appliance. Otherwise,
the user is responsible for any consequences that may possibly occur.
This device is not compliant with IEC 61000 -3-12. In case if it is desired
to be connected to the low voltage network used in the home, the installer
to make the electrical connection or the person who will use the machine
must be aware that the machine has been connected in such a manner; in
this case the responsibility belongs to the user.
