Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
01/11
This machine has been designed in accordance with all relevant directives and standards. However, it may still generate
electromagnetic disturbances that can affect other systems like telecommunications (telephone, radio, and television) or
other safety systems. These disturbances can cause safety problems in the affected systems. Read and understand
this section to eliminate or reduce the amount of electromagnetic disturbance generated by this machine.
This machine has been designed to operate in an industrial area. The operator must install and operate
this equipment as described in this manual. If any electromagnetic disturbances are detected the operator
must put in place corrective actions to eliminate these disturbances with, if necessary, assistance from
Lincoln Electric. The 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 in those locations, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances. This equipment
complies with IEC 61000-3-12 provided that the short-circuit power Ssc is greater than or equal to 2227kVA at the
interface point between the user’s supply and the public system. It is the responsibility of the installer or user of the
equipment to ensure, by consultation with the distribution network operator if necessary, that the equipment is connected
only to a supply with a short circuit power Ssc greater than or equal to 2227kVA.
Before installing the machine, the operator must check the work area for any devices that may malfunction because of
electromagnetic disturbances. Consider the following.
Input and output cables, control cables, and telephone cables that are in or adjacent to the work area and the
machine.
Radio and/or television transmitters and receivers. Computers or computer controlled equipment.
Safety and control equipment for industrial processes. Equipment for calibration and measurement.
Personal medical devices like pacemakers and hearing aids.
Check the electromagnetic immunity for equipment operating in or near the work area. The operator must be sure
that all equipment in the area is compatible. This may require additional protection measures.
The dimensions of the work area to consider will depend on the construction of the area and other activities that are
taking place.
Consider the following guidelines to reduce electromagnetic emissions from the machine.
Connect the machine to the input supply according to this manual. If disturbances occur if may be necessary to take
additional precautions such as filtering the input supply.
The output cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned together. If possible connect the
work piece to ground in order to reduce the electromagnetic emissions. The operator must check that connecting
the work piece to ground does not cause problems or unsafe operating conditions for personnel and equipment.
Shielding of cables in the work area can reduce electromagnetic emissions. This may be necessary for special
applications.

WARNING
This equipment must be used by qualified personnel. Be sure that all installation, operation, maintenance and repair
procedures are performed only by qualified person. Read and understand this manual before operating this equipment.
Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could cause serious personal injury, loss of life, or damage to this
equipment. Read and understand the following explanations of the warning symbols. Lincoln Electric is not responsible
for damages caused by improper installation, improper care or abnormal operation.
WARNING: This symbol indicates that instructions must be followed to avoid serious personal injury,
loss of life, or damage to this equipment. Protect yourself and others from possible serious injury or
death.
READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTIONS: Read and understand this manual before operating
this equipment. Arc welding can be hazardous. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could
cause serious personal injury, loss of life, or damage to this equipment.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL: Welding equipment generates high voltages. Do not touch the
electrode, work clamp, or connected work pieces when this equipment is on. Insulate yourself from
the electrode, work clamp, and connected work pieces.
ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the
fuse box before working on this equipment. Ground this equipment in accordance with local electrical
regulations.
ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Regularly inspect the input, electrode, and work clamp
cables. If any insulation damage exists replace the cable immediately. Do not place the electrode
holder directly on the welding table or any other surface in contact with the work clamp to avoid the
risk of accidental arc ignition.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE DANGEROUS: Electric current flowing through any
conductor creates electric and magnetic fields (EMF). EMF fields may interfere with some
pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker shall consult their physician before operating this
equipment.
CE COMPLIANCE: This equipment complies with the European Community Directives.
ARTIFICIAL OPTICAL RADIATION: According with the requirements in 2006/25/EC Directive and
EN 12198 Standard, the equipment is a category 2. It makes mandatory the adoption of Personal
Protective Equipments (PPE) having filter with a protection degree up to a maximum of 15, as
required by EN169 Standard.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS: Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to
health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. To avoid these dangers the operator must use
enough ventilation or exhaust to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN: Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from
sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing. Use suitable clothing made from durable
flame-resistant material to protect you skin and that of your helpers. Protect other nearby personnel
with suitable, non-flammable screening and warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to
the arc.
WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Remove fire hazards from the welding
area and have a fire extinguisher readily available. Welding sparks and hot materials from the welding
process can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Do not weld on any
tanks, drums, containers, or material until the proper steps have been taken to insure that no
flammable or toxic vapors will be present. Never operate this equipment when flammable gases,
vapors or liquid combustibles are present.
WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN: Welding generates a large amount of heat. Hot surfaces and
materials in work area can cause serious burns. Use gloves and pliers when touching or moving
materials in the work area.

SAFETY MARK: This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding operations carried out in
an environment with increased hazard of electric shock.
EQUIPMENT WEIGHT OVER 30kg: Move this equipment with care and with the help of another
person. Lifting may be dangerous for your physical health.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED: Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the
correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to a fixed support. Do
not move or transport gas cylinders with the protection cap removed. Do not allow the electrode,
electrode holder, work clamp or any other electrically live part to touch a gas cylinder. Gas cylinders
must be located away from areas where they may be subjected to physical damage or the welding
process including sparks and heat sources.
HF
CAUTION: The high frequency used for contact-free ignition with TIG (GTAW) welding, can interfere
with the operation of insufficiently shielded computer equipment, EDP centers and industrial robots,
even causing complete system breakdown. TIG (GTAW) welding may interfere with electronic
telephone networks and with radio and TV reception.
NOISE APPEARES DURING WELDING CAN BE HARMFUL: Welding arc can cause noise with high
level of 85dB for 8-hour week day. Welders operating welding machines are obligated to wear the
proper ear protectors /appendix No. 2 for the Decree of the Secretary of Labor and Social Policy from
17.06 1998 – Dz.U. No. 79 pos. 513/. According to the Decree the Secretary of Health and Social
Welfare from 09.07.1996 /Dz.U. No. 68 pos. 194/, employers are obligated to carry examinations and
measurements of health harmful factors.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and/or improvements in design without upgrade at the same time
