1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: These Safety Precautions are for your protection. They summarize precautionary information from the references
listed in Additional Safety Information section. Before performing any installation or operating procedures, be sure to read and follow the
safety precautions listed below as well as all other manuals, material safety data sheets, labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety
Precautions can result in injury or death.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Some welding, cutting and gouging precesses are noisy and require ear protection. The arc, like the sun,
emits ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation and can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns. T raining
in the proper use of the processes and equipment is essential to prevent accidents. Therefore:
1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any work area, even if welding helmets face shields and goggles are also
required.
2. Use a face shield fitted with the correct filter and cover plates to protect your eyes, face, neck and ears from sparks and rays of
the arc when operating or observing operations. Warn bystanders not to watch the arc and not to expose themselves to the rays
of the electric--arc or hot metal.
3. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long--sleeve shirt, cuffless trousers, high--topped shoes and a welding helmet or cap
for protection, to protect against arc rays and hot sparks or hot metal. A flameproof apron may also be desirable as protection
against radiated heat and sparks.
4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves, trouser cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be kept buttoned and
open pockets eliminated from the front of clothing.
5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks with a suitable nonflammable partition or curtains.
6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can fly far. Bystanders should also
wear goggles over safety glasses.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS
Heat from flames and arcs can start fires. Hot slag or sparks can also cause fires and explosions.
Therefore:
1. Remove all combustible materials well away from the work area or cover the materials with a protective nonflammable covering.
Combusible materials include wood, clot, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, pants and coatings papper , etc.
2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or crevices in floors or wall openings and cause a hidden smoldering fire or fires
on the floor below. Make certain that such openings are protected from hot sparks and metal.
3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the workpiece has been completely cleaned so that there are no substances on
the workpiece which might produce flammable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot work on closed containers. They may explode.
4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use, such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket, or portable fire
extinguisher . Be sure you are trained in its use.
5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example, overloaded welding cable can overheat and create a fire hazard.
6. After completing operations, inspect the work area to make certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal which could cause a later
fire. Use fire watchers when necessary .
7. For additional information refer to NFPA Standard 51B, “Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Processes”, available from
the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Contact with live electrical parts and ground can cause severe injury or death. DO NOT use AC welding
current in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if there is danger of falling. Therefore:
1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is connected to the ground system of the input power.
2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical ground.
3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor or missing connection can expose you or others to a fatal shock.
4. Use well--maintained equipment. Replace worn or damaged cables.
5. Keep everything dry , including clothing, work area, cables, torch/electrode holder and power source.
6. Make sure that all parts of your bady are insulated from work and
from ground.
7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while working in tight quarters or a damp area; stand on dry boards or an insulating
platform and wear rubber--soled shoes.
8. Put on dry, hole--free gloves before turning on the power.
9. Turn off the power before removing your gloves.
10. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listed on next page) for specific grounding recommendations. Do not mistake the work lead
for a ground cable.

safetyaa
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
May be dangerous. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic
Fields (EMF). Welding and cutting current creates EMF around welding cables and welding machines.
Therefore:
1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding. EMF may interfere with some pacemakers.
2. Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.
3. Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to EMF:
a. Route the electrode and work cables together . Secure them with tape when possible.
b. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body.
c. Do not place your body between the torch and work cables. Route cables on the same side of your body.
d. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.
e. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from your body as possible.
FUMES AND GASES
Fumes and gases, can cause discomfort or harm, particularly in confined spaces. Do not breathe fumes and
gases. Shielding gases can cause asphyxiation.
Therfore:
1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by natural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut or gouge on materials
such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, cooper, zinc, lead beryllium or cadmium unless positive mechanical ventilation is
provided. Do not breathe fumes from these materials.
2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying operations. The heat or arc can react with chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors to form
phosgene, a highly toxic gas and other irritant gases.
3. If you develop momentary eye, nose or throat irritation while operating, this is an indication that ventilation is not adequate. Stop
work and take necessary steps to improve ventilation in the work area. Do not continue to operate if physical discomfort persists.
4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below) for specific ventilation recommendations.
5. WARNING: This product when used for welding or cutting, produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State
of Californa to cause birth defects and in some cases cancer (California Health & Safety Code §25249.5 et seq.)
CYLINDER HANDLING
Cylinders, if mishandled, can rupture and violently release gas. Sudden rupture of cylinder valve or relief
device can injure or kill.
Therefore:
1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the proper pressure reducing regulator designed to operate from the compressed gas
cylinder . Do not use adaptors. Maintain hoses and fittings in good condition. Follow manufacturer’s operating instructions for
mounting regulator to a compressed gas cylinder.
2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chain or strap to suitable hand trucks, undercarriages, benches, wall, post or
racks. Never secure cylinders to work tables or fixtures where they may become part of an electrical circuit.
3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have valve protection cap in place if regulator is not connected. Secure and move
cylinders by using suitable hand trucks.
4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks and flames. Never strike an arc on a cylinder.
5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P--1, “Precations for Safe Handling of Comporessed Gases in Cylinders”, which
is available from Compressed Gas Association, 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
Faulty or improperly maintained equipment can cause injury or death. Therefore:
1. Always have qualified personnel perform the installaion, troubleshooting and maintenance work. Do not perform any electrical
work unless you are qualified to perform such work.
2. Before performing any maintenance work inside a power source, disconnect the power source from the incoming electrical power.
3. Maintain cables, grounding wire, connections, power cord and power supply in safe working order. Do not operate any equipment
in faulty condition.
4. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keep equipment away from heat sources such as furnaces, wet conditions such as
water puddles, oil or grease, corrosive atmospheres and inclement weather.
5. Keep all safety devices and cabinet covers in position and in good repair.
6. Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Do not modify it in any manner.

The water flow guard b locks the power source if the cooling water stops. When this
occurs the welding current is interrupted and an alarm is shown on the control unit.
The water flow guard is an a ccessory.
7.5 Remote control unit
The program version in U8 should be 1.20 or higher. Machines with intergral control
panels should have program version 1.21 or higher, in order for the remote control to
function correctly.
When the remote control unit is connected, the power source and wire feed unit are in
remote control mode; the buttons and knobs are blocked. T he functions can only be
adjusted via the remote unit.
If the remote control unit is not to be used, the r emote control unit must be disconnected
from the power source / wire feed unit, as otherwise it will remain in remote control
mode.
When a rem ote control unit is used to set the voltage, the function will be changed to
the setting of current during MMA welding.

1 MESURES DE SECURITE
ATTENTION : ces règles de sécurité ont pour objet d’assurer votre protection. Elles constituent une synthèse des mesures de
sécurité contenues dans les ouvrages de référence repris au chapitre Informations complémentaires relatives à la Sécurité. Avant toute
installation ou utilisation du matériel, veillez à lire et à respecter les règles de sécurité énoncées ci--dessous ainsi que dans les divers
manuels, fiches de sécurité du matériel, étiquettes, etc. Le non--respect de ces précautions risque d’entraîner des blessures graves ou
mortelles.
PROTECTION INDIVIDUELLE ET DE L’ENTOURAGE
Certains procédés de soudage, découpage et gougeage sont bruyants et requièrent le port de protections
auditives. L’arc, tout comme le soleil, émet des ultraviolets (UV) et d’autres rayonnements susceptibles de
provoquer des lésions oculaires et dermatologiques. Le métal chaud peut être à l’origine de brûlures. Une
formation à l’utilisation correcte des procédés et équipements est essentielle pour prévenir les accidents.
En conséquence :
1. Porter impérativement des lunettes avec écrans latéraux dans les zones de travail, même lorsque le port du casque de soudage,
de l’écran facial et des lunettes de protection est obligatoire
2. Tant pour exécuter les travaux que pour y assister, porter un écran facial muni de plaques protectrices et de verres filtrants
appropriés pour protéger les yeux, le visage, le cou et les oreilles des étincelles et du rayonnement de l’arc. Avertir les personnes
se trouvant à proximité qu’elles ne doivent pas regarder l’arc, ni s’exposer à son rayonnement ou à celui du métal incandescent.
3. Porter des gants ignifuges à crispins, une tunique épaisse à longues manches, des pantalons sans rebord, des chaussures à
embout d’acier et un casque de soudage ou une casquette pour se protéger du rayonnement de l’arc, des étincelles et du métal
incandescent. Le port d’un tablier ininflammable est également recommandé afin de se protéger des étincelles et du rayonnement
thermique.
4. Les étincelles ou projections de métal en fusion risquent de se loger dans les manches retroussées, les bords relevés de
pantalons ou dans les poches. Il convient donc de boutonner complètement les manches et le col, et de porter des vêtements
sans poches à l’avant.
5. Protéger du rayonnement de l’arc et des étincelles les personnes se trouvant à proximité à l’aide d’un écran ou d’un rideau
ininflammable approprié.
6. Porter des oculaires et des lunettes de protection pendant le meulage du laitier. Les particules meulées, souvent brûlantes,
peuvent être projetées à des distances importantes, de sorte que les personnes se trouvant à proximité doivent également porter
des lunettes de protection.
INCENDIES ET EXPLOSIONS
La chaleur dégagée par les flammes et les arcs peuvent être à l’origine d’incendies. Le laitier incandescent
et les étincelles peuvent également provoquer incendies et explosions. En conséquence :
1. Éloigner suffisamment tous les matériaux combustibles de la zone de travail ou les recouvrir complètement d’une bâche ignifuge.
Ce type de matériaux comprend le bois, les vêtements, la sciure, les carburants sous forme liquide et gazeuse, les peintures, les
enduits, le papier, etc.
2. Les étincelles ou projections de métal en fusion peuvent tomber dans les fissures du sol ou des murs et déclencher une
combustion lente dans les planchers ou à l’étage inférieur. V eiller à protéger ces ouvertures pour que les étincelles et projections
n’y pénètrent pas.
3. Ne pas procéder à des travaux de soudage, de découpage et autres travaux à chaud tant que la surface n’est pas complètement
nettoyée et débarrassée des substances susceptibles de produire des vapeurs inflammables ou toxiques. Ne pas effectuer de
travaux à chaud sur des conteneurs fermés pour éviter tout risque d’explosion.
4. Conserver à portée de main un équipement d’extinction tuyau d’arrosage, seau d’eau ou de sable, extincteur portatif, etc. et
s’assurer d’en connaître l’utilisation.
5. Ne pas utiliser l’équipement au--delà de ses spécifications. Par exemple, un câble de soudage surchargé est susceptible de
surchauffer et d’être à l’origine d’un incendie.
6. Une fois le travail terminé, inspecter la zone de travail pour s’assurer qu’aucune étincelle ou projection de métal ne risque de
déclencher un incendie. Le cas échéant, utiliser des systèmes de détection d’incendie.
7. Pour toute information supplémentaire, voir la norme NFPA 51B relative à la prévention des incendies lors de travaux de
découpage et de soudage, disponible auprès de la National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269
USA.

CHOC ELECTRIQUE
Tout contact avec des éléments sous tension et la masse peut provoquer des blessures graves ou
mortelles. NE PAS utiliser de courant de soudage CA dans des zones humides, des lieux exigus ou lorsqu’il
existe un risque de chute. En conséquence :
1. Vérifier que le châssis du générateur est bien relié au dispositif de mise à la masse de l’alimentation.
2. Assurer une mise à la masse correcte de la pièce à souder .
3. Connecter le câble de soudage à la pièce à souder. Un raccordement médiocre ou inexistant constitue un risque mortel pour
l’utilisateur et son entourage.
4. Utiliser du matériel correctement entretenu. Remplacer les câbles usés ou endommagés.
5. Empêcher l’apparition de toute humidité, notamment sur les vêtements, dans la zone de travail, sur les câbles, la torche de
soudage, le porte--électrode et le générateur.
6. S’assurer que le corps est totalement isolé de la pièce à souder et de la masse.
7. Éviter tout contact direct avec du métal ou la masse lors de travaux dans des endroits exigus et en zone humide ; se tenir sur des
panneaux ou sur une plate--forme isolante et porter des chaussures à semelles en caoutchouc.
8. Enfiler des gants secs et sans trous avant de mettre l’équipement sous tension.
9. Mettre l’équipement hors tension avant de retirer les gants.
10. V oir la norme ANSI/ASC Z49.1 (voir page suivante) pour les recommandations de mise à la masse. Ne pas confondre le câble de
soudage et le câble de masse.
CHAMPS ELECTRIQUES ET MAGNETIQUES
Danger. Le courant électrique parcourant les conducteurs génère localement des champs électriques et
magnétiques (EMF). Le courant de soudage et de découpe crée des EMF autour des câbles de soudage et
des postes à souder.
En conséquence :
1. Les porteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques consulteront leur médecin avant d’effectuer des travaux de soudage. Les EMF peuvent
en effet provoquer des interférences.
2. L’exposition aux EMF peut également avoir des effets méconnus sur la santé.
3. Les soudeurs respecteront les procédures suivantes pour réduire l’exposition aux EMF :
a. Rassembler en faisceau les câbles de soudage et d’électrode. Si possible, les attacher avec du ruban adhésif.
b. Ne jamais enrouler le câble de la torche ou le câble de soudage autour du corps.
c. L ’utilisateur ne doit jamais se trouver entre le câble de la torche et le câble de soudage. Faire passer tous les câbles du
me côté du corps.
d. Connecter le câble de soudage à la pièce à souder, au plus près de l’endroit du soudage.
e. S’éloigner au maximum du générateur et des câbles.
FUMEES ET GAZ
L’inhalation des fumées et gaz peut provoquer des malaises et des dommages corporels, surtout lors de
travaux dans les espaces confinés. Ne pas les respirer. Les gaz inertes peuvent causer l’asphyxie.
En conséquence :
1. Assurer une aération adéquate de la zone de travail par une ventilation naturelle ou mécanique. Ne pas effectuer de travaux de
soudage, découpage ou gougeage sur des matériaux tels que l’acier galvanisé, le cuivre, le zinc, le plomb, le béryllium et le
cadmium en l’absence d’une ventilation mécanique adéquate. Ne pas inhaler les fumées dégagées par ces matériaux.
2. Ne pas travailler à proximité d’opérations de dégraissage et de pulvérisation étant donné que la chaleur dégagée et l’arc peut
réagir avec les hydrocarbures chlorés pour former du phosgène un gaz particulièrement toxique et d’autres gaz irritants.
3. Une irritation momentanée des yeux, du nez ou de la gorge provoquée par les travaux est le signe d’une ventilation inappropriée.
Dans ce cas, il convient d’arrêter le travail et de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour améliorer l’aération. Ne pas poursuivre le
travail si le malaise persiste.
4. Voir la norme ANSI/ASC Z49.1 (voir ci--dessous) pour les recommandations de ventilation.
5. ATTENTION : utilisé dans des opérations de soudage et de découpage, ce produit dégage des fumées et gaz qui contiennent
des substances chimiques reconnues par l’État de Californie comme pouvant être à l’origine de malformations congénitales et de
cancers (California Health & Safety Code §25249.5 et seq.).
