Operating manual
Gas cylinders should be stored in open or well-ventilated areas. They should be kept in an upright position and kept on a cart or trolley.
Welding should not be undertaken near grease or paint.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISKS
Fully protect the welding area, flammable materials should be kept at least 11 metres away.
Fire fighting equipment should be present in the vicinity of welding operations.
Beware the expulsion of hot spatter or sparks, even through cracks, which can cause fires or explosions.
Keep people, flammable objects and pressurised containers at a safe distance.
Do not weld in closed containers or tubes. If they are open, remove any flammable or explosive materials (oil, fuel, etc.) before welding.
Grinding work must not be directed towards the source of the welding current or towards any flammable materials.
GAS CYLINDERS
Gas escaping from the cylinders can cause suffocation if it becomes concentrated in the welding area (ventilate well).
Transporting the machine must be done safely: gas cylinders must be closed and the welding power source turned off. They
should be stored upright and supported to reduce the risk of falling.
Tightly close the bottle between uses. Beware of temperature changes and sun exposure.
The bottle should not come into contact with flames, electric arcs, torches, earth clamps or any other sources of heat.
Keep away from electrical and welding circuits and never weld a pressurised cylinder.
When opening the cylinder valve, keep your head away from the valve and ensure that the gas being used is suitable for the welding process.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The electrical network used must be earthed. Use the recommended fuse size chosen from the information table.
Electric shocks can cause serious direct and indirect accidents or even death.
Never touch live parts connected to the live current, either inside or outside the power source casing unit (torches, clamps, cables, electrodes), as
these items are connected to the welding circuit.
Before opening the welding machine's power source, disconnect it from the mains and wait two minutes to ensure that all the capacitors have fully
discharged.
Do not touch the torch or the electrode holder and the earth clamp at the same time.
If the cables or torches become damaged, they must be replaced by a qualified and authorised person. Measure the length of cable according to
its use. Always wear dry, good quality clothing to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Alongside this, wear well-insulated footwear in all working
environments.

EMC CLASSIFICATION

This Class A equipment is not intended for domestic use where electrical power is supplied from the low-voltage mains system.
Ensuring electromagnetic compatibilty may be difficult at these sites due to conducted, as well as radiated, radio frequency
interference.
This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-12.
Provided that the impedance of the low-voltage public electrical network at the common coupling point is less than Zmax =
0.349 Ohms, this equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11 and can be connected to public low-voltage electrical mains. It is
the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, in consultation with the distribution netwtork operator if
necessary, that the network impedance complies with the impedance restrictions.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCES
An electric current passing through any conductor produces localised electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The welding current
produces an electromagnetic field around the welding circuit and the welding equipment.
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can interfere with some medical devices, for example pacemakers. Protective measures should be taken for those with
medical, implanted devices. For example, restricted access for onlookers or an individual risk assessment for welders.
All welders should use the following guidelines to minimise exposure to the welding circuit's electromagnetic fields:
• position the welding cables together - if possible, securing them with a clamp,
• position yourself (head and body) as far away from the welding circuit as possible,
• never wrap the welding cables around your body,
