1 SAFETY
Users of ESAB welding equipment have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that
anyone who works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety pre
cautions. Safety precautions must meet the requirements that apply to this type of
welding equipment. The following recommendations should be observed in addition
to the standard regulations that apply to the workplace.
All work must be carried out by trained personnel well-acquainted with the oper
ation of the welding equipment. Incorrect operation of the equipment may lead to
hazardous situations which can result in injury to the operator and damage to the
equipment.
1. Anyone who uses the welding equipment must be familiar with:
S its operation
S location of emergency stops
S its function
S relevant safety precautions
S welding
2. The operator must ensure that:
S no unauthorized person is stationed within the working area of the equipment when it is
started up.
S no-one is unprotected when the arc is struck
3. The workplace must:
S be suitable for the purpose
S be free from drafts
4. Personal safety equipment
S Always wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety glasses, flame-proof
clothing, safety gloves. Note! Do not use safety gloves when replacing wire.
S Do not wear loose-fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, rings, etc., which could become
trapped or cause burns.
5. General precautions
S Make sure the return cable is connected securely.
S Work on high voltage equipment may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
S Appropriate fire extinquishing equipment must be clearly marked and close at hand.
S Lubrication and maintenance must not be carried out on the equipment during operation.
CAUTION!
This product is solely intended for arc welding.

WARNING
Read and understand the instruction manual before installing or operating.
Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precausions when welding.
Ask for your employer's safety practices which should be based on manufacturers' hazard data.
ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill
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 correct 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.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
ESAB can provide you with all necessary welding protection and accessories.
WARNING!
Do not use the power source for thawing frozen pipes.
CAUTION!
Read and understand the instruction manual before
installing or operating.
CAUTION!
Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where
the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system.
There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility of class A equipment in those locations, due to conducted
as well as radiated disturbances.

4 INSTALLATION
The installation must be executed by a professional.
Note!
Mains supply requirements
High power equipment may, due to the primary current drawn from the mains supply, influence the
power quality of the grid. Therefore connection restrictions or requirements regarding the
maximum permissible mains impedance or the required minimum supply capacity at the interface
point to the public grid may apply for some types of equipment (see technical data). In this case it
is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the
distrubution network operator if necessary, that the equipment may be connected.
4.1 Location
Position the welding power source such that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not
obstructed.
4.2 Mains power supply
Check that the welding power source is connected to the
correct mains power supply voltage, and that it is
protected by the correct fuse size.
A protective earth connection must be made in
accordance with regulations.
