SAFETY

WARNINGS

This manual contains instructions for the
proper installation of the Electric Electronic
Equipment (EEE) you have just purchased.
The owner of an EEE must make sure that
this document is read and understood by wel-
ding technicians and their assistants and by
maintenance technicians.
Warning: Even when the ON/OFF
switch of the EEE is at "0", voltage
from the power grid is still present
within the generator and in the po-
wer cable. Prior to any internal inspection,
make sure the appliance has been discon-
nected from the power source (this means
taking a series of steps in order to separate
the appliance from the power source and to
keep it free from voltage).
Electrical electronic appliances may never be
used without their panels and covers, as this
may be dangerous for the workers involved.
Using the appliances without these protec-
tions may cause serious damage to the ap-
pliances themselves.
These generators may be supplied by an
electricity generator, which must absolutely
be equipped with a diesel engine with a po-
wer higher than the power required by the
generator at the maximum performance. Its
output voltage and frequency must be com-
patible with the supply values required by the
generator, see the technical data table.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

• Workers and their assistants must protect
themselves by wearing closed, non-flamma-
ble protection coveralls, without pockets or
rolled sleeves or legs. Any residue of oil or
grease must be cleaned from the garments
before wearing them. Only wear CE marked
garments suitable for arc welding (Fig. 1):
1. Gloves;
2. Apron or jacket
made of crust leather;
3. Gaiters to protect
the shoes and the
bottoms of the trou-
sers;
4. Protection shoes

rubber soles;
