Fire Prevention - Fimer DUKE 74 Manuel D'emploi

RELOCATION 2
Never store or move the Welder in an inclined position or on its
side.
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
The equipment is not suitable for use in washrooms,
shower cubicles, pool areas or similar environments. If
you are obliged to use the unit in such areas, turn off all
water supplies and check the area has been evacuated.
OPERATING AND/OR INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT 2
The machine is not suitable for operation and storage at
the rain or snow.
OPERATING AND/OR INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT 3
The Welder was not designed for installation or use in areas
where it could be subject to blows or vibration, such as road-
vehicles, railway carriages, cable-cars, aircraft, ships or boats
or similar environments (including cranes, conveyor-carriers or any
other mobile equipment prone to vibration)
OPERATING AND/OR INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT 4
Never use the Welder in an explosive, corrosive, abra-
sive or saline environment.
EXTINGUISHER
Always place an approved fire extinguisher in the immediate vicinity
of the work area. Fire extinguishers should be checked regularly.
LOCATION
Place the Welder well away from heat sources. Place the
Welder in a well-ventilated environment. Place the Welder in
a safe, protected area. It must not be installed outdoors. Do not install the
Welder in dusty environments. Dust can get into the inner parts of the unit
and inhibit cooling. The Welder must be positioned on a flat, stable surfa-
ce that extends further than the units own dimensions in all directions.
CLEAN LOCATIONS
The installation area must be kept clean and dry to
be sure the Welder fans do not draw in small objects or liquids. Not only
could the equipment malfunction but a serious risk of fire outbreak could
be created.
REPAIRS
Never attempt to repair the Welder yourself. Always
refer to the manufacturer or an authorized repairer.
All warranty provisions will immediately become null and void if any repair,
or attempt to repair, not specifically authorized in writing or handled by
the constructor is carried out. Furthermore, the constructor will accept
no responsibility for any malfunction or damage resulting as a conse-
quence of such unauthorized action.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
The equipment must be taken to an authorized Technical Assi-
stance Centre if the equipment has been damaged in any way
or if any one of the following events occurs : liquid infiltration; dama-
ge caused by falling objects; exposure to rain or humidity (exceeding
the specified limits); malfunction; performance failure or if the equip-
ment has been dropped.
SPARE PARTS
Use only manufacturer-recommended spare parts.
Other spare parts could cause equipment mal-
function. The use of non-original spare parts will also result in the war-
ranty provisions becoming null and void, releasing the manufacturer
from any responsibility for malfunction or damage resulting as a con-
sequence of such action.
PERSONNEL PROTECTION PERSONNEL PROTECTION
Together with the previous instructions, the following
precautions should be strictly observed
PROTECTION MASK
Wear a protective non-flammable welding mask
to protect your neck, your face and the sides of
your head. Keep the front lens clean and replace it if it is broken
or cracked. Place a transparent protection glass between the mask
and the welding area.
CLOTHING
Wear close-fitting, closed, non-flammable, pocke-
tless clothing.
VENTILATION
Weld in a well-ventilated environment that does not have
direct access to other work areas.
EYE PROTECTION

FUMES AND GASES 1
Clean away paint, rust or any other dirt from the item to
be cut to avoid the creation of dangerous fumes.
FUMES AND GASES 2
NEVER cut on metals containing zinc, mercury, chro-
mium, graphite, heavy metals, cadmium or beryllium
unless the operator and the bystanders use appro-
priate air-supplied respirators.
HIGH VOLTAGE PROTECTION
HIGH VOLTAGE PROTECTION
Together with the previous instructions, the following pre-
cautions should be strictly observed
CONFINED SPACES
When welding in small environments, leave the power
