3. SAFETY RULES
3.1 Explanation of safety symbols
NOTE! Indicates a risk of flowed and possible damage to the equipment.
IMPORTANT! Indicates tips for correct operation and other particularly useful information. It does
not indicate a potential damaging or dangerous situation.
If you see any of the symbols depicted in the “Safety rules” chapter, special care is required.
3.2 General safety instructions
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.
DANGER! Indicates immediate and real danger. If is not avoided, death or serious
injury will result.
WARNING! Indicates a potentially situation. Death or serious injury may result if
appropriate precautions are not taken.
CAUTION! Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur. If it is not avoided,
minor injury and/or damage to property may result.
CAUTION
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. TIP TIG is not responsible for
damages caused by improper installation, improper care or abnormal operation.
TIP TIG - ALLINONE, OPERATING MANUAL
Page 8 of 57
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 Equipment (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, nonflammable 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.
TIP TIG - ALLINONE, OPERATING MANUAL
Page 9 of 57
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.
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 the operator’s manual.

The TIP TIG – AllinOne wire feeder can be transported by crane using its handles.
The maximum load-bearing capacity of the handles is 35 kg (77.16 lb.)
Before transporting by crane:
- feed out the wire electrode, remove the wire spool
- disconnect the torch hose package and interconnecting hose package from the wire feeder
- if present, unplug the coolant connections
WARNING
Falling equipment can cause death or serious injury.
• Only use a suitable lifting tackle when transporting devices by crane (e.g. belt with round
slings)
• The lifting tackle must be undamaged and in perfect condition
• Do not transport any other loads by the handle apart from the wirefeeder itself
• Do not hang from the wirefeeder as it is being transported
