DANGER! - Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text. Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in the text.
Properly install and ground this equipment according to its Owner's Manual and national, state, and local codes. Always verify the supply ground - check and be sure that input power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal in disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properly grounded receptacle outlet. When making input connections, attach proper grounding conductor first - double-check connections. Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks. Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring - replace cord immediately if damaged - bare wiring can kill. Turn off all equipment when not in use. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables. Do not drape cables over your body. If earth grounding of the workpiece is required, ground it directly with a separate cable. Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground, or another electrode from a different machine. Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding machines at the same time since double open-circuit voltage will be present. Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual. Wear a safety harness if working above floor level. Keep all panels and covers securely in place. Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece or worktable as near the weld as practical. Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent contact with any metal object. Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any single weld output terminal.
Do not touch live electrical parts. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work or ground. Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if there is a danger of falling. Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process. If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on unit. Additional safety precautions are required when any of the following electrically hazardous conditions are present: in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling, or lying; or when there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For these conditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) a semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a DC manual (stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit voltage. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welder is recommended. And, do not work alone! Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or servicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).
SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists in inverter-type welding power sources after removal of input power.
Turn off inverter, disconnect input power, and discharge input capacitors according to instructions in Maintenance Section before touching any parts.

Do not touch hot parts bare handed. Allow cooling period before working on gun or torch.
Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can cause fire on the hidden side. Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes, unless they are properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 (see Safety Standards). Do not weld where the atmosphere may contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline). Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical to prevent welding current from traveling long, possibly unknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire hazards. Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes. Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at contact tip when not in use. Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap. Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches, from your person before doing any welding. After completion of work, inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks, glowing embers, and flames. Use only correct fuses or circuit breakers. Do not oversize or bypass them. Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.
To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or wear heavy, insulated welding gloves and clothing to prevent burns.
Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the arc to remove welding fumes and gases. If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator. Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the manufacturer's instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners, and degreasers. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe. Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases. Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an airsupplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.
Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool, they can throw off slag.
Wear approved safety glasses with side shields even under your welding helmet.
Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter lenses to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards). Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet. Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash, glare, and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc. Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material (leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection.
Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use. Always ventilate confined spaces or use approved air-supplied respirator.
Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Medical Devices should keep away.
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before going near arc welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.
Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers. Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal. Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder. Never weld on a pressurized cylinderexplosion will result. Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and fittings designed for the specific application; maintain them and associated parts in good condition. Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve. Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is in use or connected for use. Use the right equipment, correct procedures, and sufficient number of persons to lift and move cylinders. Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and Compressed Gas Association (CGA) publication P1 listed in Safety Standards.
Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs. Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping. Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuits. Never drape a welding torch over a gas cylinder.
Do not install unit near flammables. Do not overload building wiring - be sure power supply system is properly sized, rated, and protected to handle this unit.
Keep away from moving parts such as fans. Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and securely in place.
Have only qualified persons remove doors, panels, covers, or guards for maintenance as necessary. Reinstall doors, panels, covers, or guards when maintenance is finished and before reconnecting input power.
Use lifting eye to lift unit only, NOT running gear, gas cylinders, or any other accessories.
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
Use equipment of adequate capacity to lift and support unit. If using lift forks to move unit, be sure forks are long enough to extend beyond opposite side of unit.
Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle. Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before starting to weld again.
Highfrequency (H.F.) can interfere with radio navigation, safety services, computers, and communications equipment.
Have only qualified persons familiar with electronic equipment perform this installation. The user is responsible for having a qualified electrician promptly correct any interference problem resulting from the installation. If notified by the FCC about interference, stop using the equipment at once. Have the installation regularly checked and maintained. Keep highfrequency source doors and panels tightly shut, keep spark gaps at correct setting, and use grounding and shielding to minimize the possibility of interference.
Wear a face shield to protect eyes and face. Shape tungsten electrode only on grinder with proper guards in a safe location wearing proper face, hand, and body protection.
Use proper staticproof bags and boxes to store, move, or ship PC boards.
Keep away from moving parts. Keep away from pinch points such as drive rolls.
Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment. Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual. If interference still occurs, the user must take extra measures such as moving the welding machine, using shielded cables, using line filters, or shielding the work area.
Electromagnetic energy can interfere with sensitive electronic equipment such as microprocessors, computers, and computerdriven equipment such as robots.
Be sure all equipment in the welding area is electromagnetically compatible. To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor.

1-6.EMF Information
Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency Electric And Magnetic Fields Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electromagnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17 years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National Research Council concluded that: The body of evidence, in the committees judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to powerfrequency electric and magnetic fields is a humanhealth hazard. However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when welding or cutting. To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following procedures: 1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a cable cover. 2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator. 3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body. 4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from operator as practical. 5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible. About Implanted Medical Devices: Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recommended. som 2007-04

Considrations sur le soudage et les effets de basse frquence et des champs magntiques et lectriques. Le courant de soudage, pendant son passage dans les cbles de soudage, causera des champs lectromagntiques. Il y a eu et il existe encore des problmes concernant ces champs. Cependant, aprs avoir examin plus de 500 tudes qui ont t faites pendant une priode de recherche de 17 ans, un comit spcial ruban bleu du National Research Council a conclu : Laccumulation de preuves, suivant le jugement du comit, na pas dmontr que lexposition aux champs magntiques et champs lectriques haute frquence reprsente un risque la sant humaine . Toutefois, des tudes sont toujours en cours et les preuves continuent tre examines. En attendant que les conclusions finales de la recherche soient tablies, il vous serait souhaitable de rduire votre exposition aux champs lectromagntiques pendant le soudage ou le coupage. Pour rduire les champs magntiques sur le poste de travail, appliquer les procdures suivantes : 1. Maintenir les cbles ensemble en les torsadant ou en les attachant avec du ruban adhsif ou avec une housse. 2. Disposer les cbles d'un ct et distance de l'oprateur. 3. Ne pas courber pas et ne pas entourer pas les cbles autour de votre corps. 4. Garder le poste de soudage et les cbles le plus loin possible de vous. 5. Connecter la pince sur la pice aussi prs que possible de la soudure. propos des implants mdicaux : Les porteurs dimplants mdicaux doivent consulter leur mdecin et le fabricant du dispositif avant de raliser ou de sapprocher des oprations de soudage larc, de soudage par points, de gougeage, de coupage plasma ou de chauffage par induction. En cas dautorisation du mdecin, il est conseill de respecter les procdures ci-dessus. som 2007-04

7-1. Troubleshooting
Trouble
Remedy Place line disconnect switch in On position (see Section 4-14) Check and replace line fuse(s), if necessary, or reset circuit breaker (see Section 4-13). Check for proper input power connections (see Section 4-14). Check for proper jumper link position (see Section 4-14A). Clean and tighten all weld connections. Check for proper line voltage. Check for open line fuse(s), and replace if necessary. Check and replace circuit breakers (see Section 4-13B). Clean and tighten all weld connections (see Section 4-10). Place Remote Amperage switch in correct position (see Section 5-2). Select correct size weld cables (see Section 4-9).
No weld output.
Low weld amperage; Amperage adjustment does not control amperage. Maximum weld output only. Erratic or improper weld output.
Reset supplementary protector CB1 (see Section 6-2). Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check Amperage Adjustment control. Check for proper input power connections (see Section 4-14. Clean and tighten all weld connections. Use proper size and type electrodes. Check for proper input power connections (see Section 4-14). Check for proper jumper link position (see Section 4-14A). Remove anything blocking fan movement. Check fan motor, and replace if necessary. The amperage adjustment scale applies to the Stick process only. The scale does not apply while using the TIG process. Actual output current is higher while using the TIG process.
Excessive line current or line fuse(s) open repeatedly. Fan not operating and/or unit is overheating. When TIG welding, output current does not match the Amperage Adjustment control setting.
