14 Starting up
Make sure before turning-on, that the elec-
trode holder, electrode do not touch on the
welding table, the working piece or any other
object which is conductive. Oth-erwise an arc
will be ignited accidentally. An accidentally
ignited arc can damage the electrode holder,
the welding table, the working piece or the
machine.
