S Install and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards.
S Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
S Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.
S Ensure your working stance is safe.
FUMES AND GASES -- Can be dangerous to health
S Keep your head out of the fumes.
S Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away from your breathing zone
and the general area.
ARC RAYS -- Can injure eyes and burn skin.
S Protect your eyes and body. Use the c orrect welding screen and filter lens and wear protective
clothing.
S Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.
FIRE HAZARD
S Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.
NOISE -- Excessive noise can damage hearing
S Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.
S Warn bystanders of the risk.
MALFUNCTION -- Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.

WARNING!
This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take adequate precautions.
Note!
Connect the power source to the electricity mains with a network impedance of 0.210 ohm or lower. If the
network impedance is higher, there is a risk of flicker in the illuminators.
5.1 Placing
Place the power source so that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not obstructed.
5.2 Rating plate
The rating plate is located on the underside of the power source.
5.3 Mains power supply
Make sure that the welding power source is connected to the correct supply voltage
and that it is protected by the correct fuse rating. The standards for the country in
question must be complied with as regards the mains cable area. A protective earth
connection must be made in accordance with regulations.
