Even when used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. Use with caution. If you are at all unsure of the correct and safe manner in which to use this tool, do not attempt to use it.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁre and/ or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite

accidents

200A Inverter Arc Welder103597

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as

in the presence of ﬂammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control

Electrical Safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in

any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiﬁed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk

of electric shock

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as

pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased

risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the

risk of electric shock

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use

a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD

reduces the risk of electric shock

NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

Personal Safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense

when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the

off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your

ﬁnger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power

tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power

tool may result in personal injury

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards

Power Tool Use & Care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at

the rate for which it was designed

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery

pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do

not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these

instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous

in the hands of untrained users

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting

tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance

with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation

Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed repair person using

only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of

the power tool is maintained

Welding Safety

• Welding produces toxic fumes and can reduce oxygen levels in the work area. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling welding fumes, use a suitable respirator where appropriate

• Some metal parts may have zinc, lead, cadmium or other coatings. Attempting to weld through these coatings can produce highly toxic fumes. Always remove all coatings before welding

• If you experience irritation to the lungs, throat or eyes whilst welding, STOP IMMEDIATELY and seek fresh air

• Welding produces extremely high levels of UV light. To prevent eye damage, ALWAYS use an approved welding face mask. Under no circumstances look directly at the arc

• The light produced when arc welding can be attractive to look at, especially to children. Always prevent other people from viewing the arc welding light with unprotected eyes

• If there is a possibility of other people approaching the work area, erect suitable screening to protect them from the light / glare

• Always replace the welder face mask glass as soon as it shows any signs of wear or damage

• To prevent skin damage, ALWAYS wear a suitable ﬁre-proof long sleeved jacket, heat proof gloves, and cap. Keep covered up

• Always remove any ﬂammable materials (e.g. cigarette lighter, matches) from your clothing before welding

• Always keep a ﬁre extinguisher nearby when welding

• Sparks generated while welding can ignite ﬂammable materials easily in

the welding area, so it is important to remove ﬂammable materials before commencing welding

• Only weld when the work area and all workpieces are dry

• Do not weld sealed containers (e.g. fuel tanks, air tanks, oil drums).

The heat generated from welding can cause sealed containers to burst without warning

• Be aware of transferred heat. Metal parts can conduct heat away from the work area and cause ignition of ﬂammable materials

• Be aware that welded parts will remain hot for some time after joining. Allow to cool completely before handling, or leaving unattended

• Never weld where ﬂammable gases, liquids or dust are present

• Ensure that there is always a responsible person nearby to alert you to

any ﬁre, or to call help in an emergency

• Use of welding machines will create powerful magnetic ﬁelds. This may disturb the operation of sensitive electronic equipment. Pacemaker wearers should consult a doctor before using a welding machine

• Do not overload power supply. Check that your mains wiring is capable of delivering the required current safely (see speciﬁcation)

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and functions

• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Preparation

Assembling the Welding Mask

1. Insert the Clear Filter (3) into the Filter Surround (5). Place the Tinted

Filter (4) on top of the clear ﬁlter

2. Place the ﬁlter surround into the Filter Window (7) of the Welding Mask

(9) and rotate the Filter Catches (6) to secure the ﬁlter surround

3. Attach the Welding Mask Handle (20) to the Welding Mask (9) using

the Welding Mask Handle Fittings (2) Note: The clear ﬁlter acts as a splatter guard and protects the tinted ﬁlter from damage therefore the tinted ﬁlter must be the ﬁlter closest to the operator’s eyes

Note: The handle ﬁts to the inside of the welding mask enclosure so in use your hand is partly protected by the welding mask

Connecting the welding cables

IMPORTANT: Only connect the welding cables when the machine is not

connected to the power supply

• Each cable is ﬁtted with a quick-connect plug. Insert the plug into the

correct socket on the welder and turn the plug clockwise to secure in position

1. Connect the Electrode Clamp (17) connector to the Positive Socket (15)

2. Connect the Earth Clamp (18) to the Negative Socket (16)

NOTE: These instructions are for conﬁguring the cables for DCEP use.

However, there are electrodes that may need to be connected to the negative supply (DCEN) for optimum welding performance depending on material, material thickness or the type of weld. Check information supplied by the electrode manufacturer regarding the type and polarity of the electrode you are using before connecting the welding cables

Connecting to a power supply

Warning: Unlike many power tools welders have a wide range of current

demands depending on the settings and at what stage in the welding process they are being used. You must always connect to a power source that is capable of delivering the full range of current demands of a welder to ensure all functionality of the welder is available, and that the welder cannot overload an electrical circuit. Overloading an electrical circuit can break down the insulation of cables and damage components over time, which could lead to ﬁres. A large percentage of ﬁres in the home are caused by overloading electrical circuits and sockets.

Notes:

• This welder is not supplied with a ﬁtted 13A UK converter plug or 16A European CEE 7/7 plug because at its maximum current setting of 200A while welding, its current demand peaks at 38A and sustained current demand exceeds 20A

• For UK and European use consult an electrician about installing a high current socket suitable for a welder that requires up to 32A. A suitable 32A plug (427717) and socket (457049) are available from your Silverline stockist but the socket must be ﬁtted by a qualiﬁed electrician

• If connecting to a generator, check the speciﬁcation of the generator to make sure it is capable of delivering the required current

WARNING:

• Only connect this welder to an electrical circuit capable of providing the speciﬁed voltage

• Do not attempt to use this welder without an earth connection

• Do not connect the welder mains cable directly into high current circuit

terminals. Always use a plug and socket arrangement so the welder can be isolated when necessary

• Do not use a high current welder at low current settings on a low current circuit - this can be very dangerous

• Welders operate at very high current levels at maximum settings - do not overload the electrical circuit

• It may not be possible to use other high current devices at the same time as a welder when connected to a domestic electrical circuit (for example, cooker, microwave, electric ﬁre etc.). If it is not convenient to disconnect other devices on your mains circuit, keep the welder at lower current settings

• At high current settings, it is possible that the welder may trip a fuse or MCB in the fusebox or consumer unit and disable the circuit to which the welder is connected. This does not indicate a fault with the welder

• If in any doubt, consult a qualiﬁed electrician about connecting your welder, even if a socket already exists that should provide the required current

Before Use

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment for the job at hand. Use of this machine requires a welding mask, gloves, heat resistant clothing and, if appropriate, a respirator

• Always ensure there is an appropriate ﬁre extinguisher near to the work area

• Always inspect your machine for damage or wear. Pay particular attention to leads and cables. If any damage is found DO NOT USE

• Check that all casings or covers are completely closed and secured

• Position the welder to ensure that it will not move, or tip, in use. Ensure

that there is at least 500mm of clear space around the welder to allow sufﬁcient ventilation

• Although an arc welder is suitable for welding outside, never use a welder in rain or any area where it may come in contact with water. Always use extreme caution when using an arc welder outside and disconnect from power immediately after use

200A Inverter Arc Welder103597

Operating Instructions

Warning

• Always unplug the welding machine from the mains supply and allow to cool completely before attempting to ﬁt or replace any part

Setting the welder

• Use the On/Off Switch (10) to switch on the welder

• The Current Adjuster (12) controls the welding current

• To achieve a good quality weld, the current adjuster must be set correctly

(see Duty Cycle for guidance)

• Turning the current adjuster clockwise will increase the welding current; turning the adjuster anti-clockwise will reduce the welding current

Welding rod selection

• In order to produce a good quality weld, the correct type of welding rod must be used. Welding rods are available in a variety of thicknesses and materials, and with a range of coatings

• Refer to rod manufacturers guidelines to select the correct rod for your requirements

Duty cycle / thermal cut out

• This machine is designed to weld constantly at 100A or below. For welding at greater currents, refer to the duty cycle

• The duty cycle deﬁnes a percentage of time in relation to overall time that the welder can be used for each current setting.

• If the machine is overloaded, or used beyond its duty cycle, it will automatically cut out and the Overheating Indicator Light (14) will illuminate

• Allow the machine to cool. The cut-out will automatically reset and the overheating indicator light extinguish once the machine is ready for use

• Using the machine at reduced current settings and maintaining good ventilation will maximise the duty cycle

• A duty cycle gives an approximate guide to how long you can use the welder. As an example if the welder indicates overheat and stops working at the 100A setting after 1.5 minutes of continuous use its likely to need a 8.5 minute cooling period approximately before it can be used again if the duty cycle is 15%. It is for the user to try to adjust the work pattern so it doesn’t force the welder into over-heat condition which will maximise the lifespan of the unit. So only operating the unit for 1 minute in every 5.5 minutes may prevent the welder going into overheat mode and switching off

• Where possible try to avoid using the maximum amp settings where the duty cycle is 10 or 15% as this will stress the internal components more than lower amp settings with higher duty cycles

Preparing to weld

• Ensure that parts to be joined are clean and free from rust, paint, or other ﬁnishes using either the supplied hammer brush or other tools

• All parts should be well supported, with a gap of approximately 1mm where you intend to form the welded joint

• Check that there are no ﬂammable materials in the vicinity of the work area

• Attach the Earth Clamp (18) to a cleaned area of one of the parts, as near as practical to where the joint will be. Never attach the earth clamp to the casing of the welder

• Squeeze the Electrode Clamp (17), to open the jaws. Place an electrode into the jaws, and release. The electrode should be ﬁrmly gripped, with the clamp contacting the clean metal part (not the coated part)

• Do a ﬁnal check of the area you will be working in while reading the safety information provided in this manual

• Connect the welder to the mains power supply

Welding

WARNING: Using a welder correctly is a technical skill. A welder used

incorrectly can be highly dangerous. The information presented below is general guidance only. If you are not entirely conﬁdent in your ability to use this tool safely DO NOT USE.

• Switch on the welder using the On/Off Switch (10). The Power Indicator (13) will illuminate

• Turn the Current Adjuster (12) clockwise to the required current for the thickness of electrode you are using, as indicated on the scale.

• Hold the Electrode Clamp (17) in one hand, and the Welding Mask (9) in the other

• Position the rod at an angle of approximately 60-75˚ angle from the surface or 15-30 ˚ from vertical, with the tip at approximately 30mm away from the metal

• Hold the mask over your face, and tap the rod against the metal

• An arc should strike between the metal and the tip. Try to hold the tip

of the rod a distance away from the metal equal to the rod thickness. Maintain the arc for 1-2 seconds, then move the rod away

• Allow the weld to cool slightly, and move the mask away from your face. If the settings were correct, a round ‘spot’ weld should have formed

• If the weld has not fully penetrated the metal, increase the current setting. If a hole has been made in the metal, reduce the current setting

• Practice making ‘spot’ welds until you are conﬁdent using the machine, and selecting settings

• To form a ‘seam’ weld, maintain the arc for longer, and slowly move the rod forward at the same time. The speed at which the rod is moved is crucial to achieving a good weld

• If the machine settings are correct, the arc should be steady, and produce a crackling sound. Be aware that you will have to gradually move the electrode rod holder closer to the metal as the rod is used up

• Once the weld bead is complete, switch off the welder by turning the current control knob anticlockwise to the lowest setting and then turn off. The Power Indicator (13) will be extinguished

• Remove excess and splatters using the chipping hammer and wire brush. Do not attempt to weld over beads unless properly cleaned

• There are lots of different techniques for using arc welders which are beyond the scope of this manual. If you are new to welding seek additional advice for exactly how you plan to use your arc welder. Always spend time conﬁguring the welder to the correct current, polarity (DCEP or DCEN) and use the appropriate size and type of electrode/rod

• Creating neat, high quality welds is a skill that takes time to master. Practice and good preparation will help to make satisfactory welds

Troubleshooting

Should you experience any problem with the welder please make the following checks:-

• That the welding current is correct for the diameter and type of electrode in use

• That the power supply is on, and the power indicator light is on. If the power indicator light is not on there is a power supply problem (for example a circuit breaker may have blown)

• That the correct voltage is being used as indicated on the rating plate

• That you have not exceeded the duty cycle and the thermal cut-out is

in operation

• That the cables are undamaged and that there is nothing causing a short circuit

• That all circuit connections are correct. You should pay particular attention to the work clamp, making sure that it is correctly attached to the workpiece and that there is no grease, paint or other contaminate that could cause a bad connection

Accessories

Contact your Silverline stockist for a range of additional accessories to complement and enhance the use of your welder and also replace worn or damaged parts.

www.silverlinetools.com

Maintenance

WARNING: Always remove the plug from the mains power supply before carrying out any maintenance/cleaning.

Cleaning

• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, shortening the machine’s service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes

• If the mains cable becomes damaged or worn it must be replaced by a qualiﬁed technician with a cable equal or superior in current capacity to the original ﬁtted cable

• If the internal fuse blows it must be replaced with a fuse of exactly the same type and rating as originally ﬁtted. If the replacement fuse blows immediately it is likely to indicate a fault condition and a service technician should be consulted immediately

Disposal

Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer functional and are not viable for repair.

• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), with household waste

• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to dispose of power tools

d) Ne pas maltraiter le cordon électrique. Ne jamais utiliser le

cordon électrique pour porter, tirer ou débrancher l’appareil. Protéger le cordon électrique de la chaleur, du contact avec l’essence, des bords tranchants et pièces rotatives. Un cordon

électrique endommagé ou entortillé accroît le risque de décharge électrique.

e) Lors d’une utilisation de l’appareil électrique en extérieur, se

servir d’une rallonge appropriée à une utilisation en extérieur.

Cela réduit le risque de décharge électrique.

f) Si une utilisation de l’appareil électrique dans un environnement

humide ne peut être évitée, utiliser une alimentation protégée par un disjoncteur différentiel. L’utilisation d’un disjoncteur différentiel

réduit le risque de décharge électrique.

Sécurité des personnes

a) Rester vigilent et faire preuve de bon sens lors de la manipulation

de l’appareil. Ne pas utiliser un appareil électrique lorsque l’on se trouve dans un état de fatigue, ou sous l’inﬂuence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un moment d’inattention pendant

l’utilisation d’un outil électrique peut se traduire par des blessures graves.

b) Porter un équipement de protection approprié. Toujours porter

une protection oculaire. Le port de masque à poussières, chaussures

de sécurité antidérapantes, casque de sécurité et protections antibruit adaptés aux différentes conditions de travail réduit le risque de blessures corporelles.

c) Eviter tout démarrage accidentel. S’assurer que l’interrupteur

marche-arrêt soit en position d’arrêt avant de brancher l’appareil sur l’alimentation secteur ou d’installer la batterie, de prendre l’appareil ou de le transporter. Porter un appareil électrique tout en

maintenant le doigt posé sur l’interrupteur ou brancher un appareil électrique dont l’interrupteur est sur la position de marche est source d’accidents.

d) Enlever toute clé et tout instrument de réglage avant de mettre

l’appareil électrique en marche. Une clé ou un instrument de

réglage laissé ﬁxé à un élément en rotation de l’appareil électrique peut entraîner des blessures physiques.

e) Ne pas essayer d’atteindre une zone hors de portée. Se tenir

toujours en position stable permettant de conserver l’équilibre.

Cela permet de mieux contrôler l’appareil électrique dans des situations inattendues.

f) Porter des vêtements appropriés. Ne pas porter de vêtements

amples ou des bijoux pendants. Eloigner cheveux, vêtements et gants des pièces en mouvement. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux

pendants et cheveux longs peuvent être happés par les pièces en rotation.

g) Si l’appareil est pourvu de dispositifs destinés au raccord

d’équipements d’extraction et de récupération de la poussière/ sciure, s’assurer qu’ils soient bien ﬁxés et utilisés correctement

L’utilisation de ces dispositifs peut réduire les risques dus à la poussière.

Utilisation et entretien des appareils électriques

a) Ne pas forcer sur l’appareil électrique. Utiliser l’appareil

électrique approprié au travail à effectuer. Un appareil électrique

adapté et employé au rythme pour lequel il a été conçu permettra de réaliser un travail de meilleure qualité et dans de meilleures conditions de sécurité.

b) Ne pas utiliser un appareil électrique dont l’interrupteur marche-

arrêt est hors service. Tout appareil électrique dont la commande

ne s’effectue plus par l’interrupteur marche-arrêt est dangereux et doit être réparé.

c) Débrancher l’appareil électrique ou démonter sa batterie avant

d’effectuer tout réglage ou changement d’accessoire et avant de le ranger. De telles mesures préventives réduiront les risques de

démarrage accidentel.

d) Ranger les appareils électriques inutilisés hors de portée des

enfants et ne pas permettre l’utilisation de cet appareil aux personnes non habituées à son maniement ou n’ayant pas lu les présentes instructions. Les appareils électriques sont dangereux

dans les mains d’utilisateurs inexpérimentés.

e) Veiller à l’entretien des appareils électriques. Vériﬁer que les

éléments rotatifs soient bien alignés et non grippés. S’assurer de l’absence de pièces cassées ou endommagées susceptibles de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l'appareil. Si l’appareil électrique est endommagé, le faire réparer avant toute utilisation.

De nombreux accidents sont dus à l’utilisation d’appareils électriques mal entretenus.

f) Veiller à ce que les outils de coupe soient tenus affûtés et

propres. Des outils de coupe bien entretenus, aux tranchants bien

affûtés, sont moins susceptibles de se gripper et sont plus faciles à contrôler.

g) Utiliser l’appareil électrique, les accessoires et outils à monter

conformément à ces instructions, en tenant compte des conditions de travail et de la tâche à réaliser. Toute utilisation d’un

appareil électrique autre que celle pour laquelle il a été conçu peut entraîner des situations à risque.

Révision

a) Ne faire réparer votre appareil électrique que par un réparateur

qualiﬁé utilisant uniquement des pièces de rechange identiques.

Cela permet de maintenir la sécurité d’utilisation de l’appareil électrique.

Consignes de sécurité relatives à la soudure

• La soudure peut produire de la fumée toxique et réduire le taux d’oxygène présent dans la zone de travail. Travaillez toujours dans un endroit bien ventilé. Evitez d’inhaler la fumée émise par la soudure et portez un masque respiratoire lorsque l’activité s’y prête.

• Certaines parties métalliques peuvent être galvanisées ou revêtues de plomb, de cadmium ou d’autres revêtements. Souder sur ces revêtements peut produire de la fumée hautement toxique. Décapez toujours la surface avant de procéder au soudage.

• Si vous ressentez une irritation aux poumons, à la gorge ou aux yeux pendant le soudage, ARRETEZ-VOUS IMMEDIATEMENT et sortez à l’air pur.

• La soudure produit des taux extrêmement élevés d’ultraviolets. Pour éviter d’altérer votre vue, portez TOUJOURS un masque à souder agréé. Ne regardez JAMAIS directement l’arc.

• La lumière éblouissante produite pendant le soudage est attractive à regarder spécialement pour les enfants. Toujours empêcher les autres personnes de regarder cette lumière sans protection oculaire.

• Si d’autres personnes risquent de s’approcher de la zone de travail,

www.silverlinetools.com

installez un écran approprié pour les protéger des ultraviolets / de la lumière éblouissante.

• Toujours remplacer le verre du masque dès qu’il montre des signes d’usure ou d’endommagement.

• Pour éviter les brûlures de la peau, portez TOUJOURS une veste ignifugée à manches longues appropriée, des gants résistants à la chaleur et une casquette. Restez bien couvert.

• Retirez toujours toute source de combustion (par exemple : briquet, allumettes) de vos vêtements avant de souder.

• Gardez toujours un extincteur à proximité de la zone de soudure. Les étincelles et les contacts accidentels peuvent provoquer des incendies.

• Les étincelles produites durant le soudage peut enﬂammer facilement des matériaux dans la zone de travail. Penser à retirer tous les matériaux inﬂammables de la zone avant de commencer à souder

• Soudez uniquement lorsque toutes les pièces à souder et la zone de travail sont sèches.

• Ne soudez pas de conteneurs scellés (par exemple : réservoirs à essence ou à air, citernes à pétrole). La chaleur produite par la soudure peut faire subitement exploser les conteneurs scellés.

• Soyez conscient de la propagation de la chaleur. Les éléments métalliques peuvent communiquer la chaleur à tout matériel se trouvant à proximité de votre zone de travail, ce qui peut à son tour enﬂammer des matériaux combustibles.

• Sachez que les pièces soudées resteront chaudes pendant quelques temps après leur soudure. Laissez-les refroidir complètement avant de les manipuler ou de vous en éloigner.

• Ne soudez jamais à proximité de gaz, de liquides ou de poussières inﬂammables.

• Assurez-vous toujours qu’une personne responsable se trouve à proximité aﬁn de vous avertir en cas d’incendie ou d’appeler de l’aide en cas d’urgence.

• L’utilisation de postes à souder créera des champs magnétiques puissants, susceptibles de perturber le fonctionnement des équipements électroniques sensibles. Il est recommandé que les personnes portant un stimulateur cardiaque consultent un médecin avant d’utiliser un poste à souder.

• Ne surchargez pas l’alimentation secteur. Vériﬁez que votre installation électrique peut fournir les courants requis en toute sécurité (voir les caractéristiques techniques).
