For your safety and that of your working environment, pay particular attention to the safety instructions in the manual.

For more information on Kemppi products, contact Kemppi Oy, consult an authorised Kemppi dealer, or visit the Kemppi Web site at www.kemppi.com.

The specications presented in this manual are subject to change without prior notice.

NOTE! Items in the manual that require particular attention in order to minimise damage and

personal harm are indicated with this symbol. Read these sections carefully and follow their instructions.

1.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Kemppi welding devices conform to international safety standards. Safety is an important issue in equipment design and manufacturing. Therefore, Kemppi welding solutions are unparalleled in safety. There are, however, always certain hazards involved in using welding equipment. Therefore, to ensure your personal safety and the safety of your working environment, carefully read the safety instructions below and respect them.

Use of personal protective equipment

• The arc and its reecting radiation damage unprotected eyes. Shield your eyes and face appropriately before you start welding or observe welding. Also note the dierent requirements for the darkness of the screen in the mask as the welding current changes.

• The arc radiation and spatters burn unprotected skin. Always wear protective gloves, clothing and footwear when welding.

• Always wear hearing protection if the ambient noise level exceeds the allowable limit (e.g., 85 dB).

General operating safety

• Exercise caution when handling parts heated in welding. For example, the tip of the welding torch, the end of the welding rod and the work piece will heat during gouging to a burning temperature.

• Never wear the device on the shoulder during welding and never suspend it by the carrying strap during welding.

• Do not expose the machine to high temperatures, as this may cause damage to the machine.

• Keep the torch cable and earthing cable as close to each other as possible throughout their length. Straighten any loops in the cables. This minimises your exposure to harmful magnetic elds, which may interfere with a pacemaker, for example.

• Do not wrap the cables around the body.

• In environments classied as dangerous, only use S-marked welding devices with a safe idle voltage level. These work environments include, for example, humid, hot or small spaces where the user may be directly exposed to the surrounding conductive pieces.

Spatter and re safety

• Welding is always classied as hot work, so pay attention to re safety regulations during welding and after it.

• Remember that re can break out from sparks even several hours after the welding work is completed.

KempArc SYN 300, 400, 500 / © Kemppi Oy / 0808

• Protect the environment from welding spatter. Remove ammable materials, such as ammable uids, from the welding vicinity and supply the welding site with adequate re ghting equipment.

• In special welding jobs, be prepared for hazards such as re or explosion when welding container-type work pieces.

• Never direct the spark spray or cutting spray of a grinder toward the welding machine or ammable materials.

• Beware of hot objects or spatter falling on the machine when working above the machine.

• Welding in ammable or explosive sites is absolutely forbidden.

General electric safety

• Only connect the welding machine to an earthed electric network.

• Note the recommended mains fuse size.

• Do not take the welding machine inside a container, vehicle or similar work piece.

• Do not place the welding machine on a wet surface and do not work on a wet surface.

• Do not allow the mains cable to be directly exposed to water.

• Ensure cables or welding torches are not squashed by heavy objects and that they are not exposed to sharp edges or a hot work piece.

• Make sure that faulty and damaged welding torches are changed immediately as they can be lethal and may cause electrocution or re.

• Remember that the cable, plugs and other electric devices may be installed or replaced only by an electrical contractor or engineer authorised to perform such operations.

• Turn o the welding machine when it is not in use.

Welding power circuit

• Insulate yourself from the welding circuit by using dry and undamaged protective clothing.

• Never touch the work piece and welding rod, welding wire, welding electrode or contact tip at the same time.

• Do not put the welding torch or ground cable on the welding machine or other electric equipment.

Welding fumes

• Ensure proper ventilation and avoid inhaling the fumes.

• Ensure sucient supply of fresh air, particularly in closed spaces. You can also ensure the supply of clean and sucient breathing air by using a fresh-air mask.

• Take extra precautions when working on metals or surface-treated materials containing lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium.

Transportation, lifting and suspension

• Never pull or lift the machine by the welding torch or other cables. Always use the lift points or handles designed for that purpose.

• Only use a transport unit designed for the equipment.

• Try to transport the machine in an upright position, if possible.

• Never lift a gas cylinder and the welding machine at the same time. There are separate provisions for gas cylinder transportation.

• Never use a welding machine when suspended unless the suspension device has been designed and approved for that particular purpose.

• Do not exceed the maximum allowed load of suspension beams or the transportation trolley of welding equipment.

• It is recommended that the wire coil be removed during lifting or transportation.

Environment

• Protect welding machines from heavy rain and direct sunshine even if it were suitable for outdoor use.

• Always store the machine in a dry and clean space.

• Protect the machine from sand and dust during use and in storage.

• The recommended operating temperature range is -20 to +40 °C. The machine’s operation eciency decreases and it becomes more prone to damage if used in temperatures in excess of 40 °C.

• Place the machine so that it is not exposed to hot surfaces, sparks or spatter.

• Make sure the airow to and from the machine is unrestricted.

• This electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of professional equipment is usually designed for industrial use. Such class-A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system. The machine may interfere with sensitive home electronic devices.

Gas bottles and pneumatic devices

• Adhere to the instructions for handling pneumatic devices and gas bottles.

• Make sure that gas bottles are used and stored in properly ventilated spaces. A leaking gas bottle may replace the oxygen in the inhaled air, causing suocation.

• Before use, make sure that the gas bottle contains gas suitable for the intended purpose.

• Always x the gas cylinder securely in an upright position, against a cylinder wall rack or purpose-made cylinder cart.

• Never move a protective gas bottle when the ow adjuster is in place. Put the valve cover in place during transportation.

• Close the cylinder valve after use.
