1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the user's responsibility to check the following:
‰
Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs
9
and all electrical connections for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with
all electrical products.
Electrical safety information. It is important that the following information is read and understood:
Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.
9
Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.
9
Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse.
DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8
DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
8
DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or is replaced immediately
8
by a qualified electrician.
If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch off the electricity supply and remove from use.
Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.
Always turn off the power supply and disconnect the welder before performing maintenance or repairs.
9
Use a properly grounded power source to prevent electrical shocks.
9
DO NOT overload the welder beyond its rated capacity. Overloading can cause overheating and damage to the machine.
8
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid
9
a hazard.
The battery charger must only be plugged into an earthed socket-outlet
9
1.2. PERSONAL SAFETY & PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Always wear a welding helmet with an appropriate shade level to protect your eyes from harmful arc rays.
9
Wear welding gloves made of flame-retardant material to protect your hands from heat, sparks, and molten metal.
9
Wear long-sleeved shirts and trousers made of flame-resistant material to protect your skin from burns.
9
Operators must receive adequate training before using the inverter.
9
DO NOT operate the inverter while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication, or if tired.
8
Stand correctly keeping a good footing and balance, ensure that the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9
Keep unauthorised persons away from the work area. Any persons working within the area must wear the same protective items.
9
Avoid oily greasy clothing. A spark may ignite them.
9
DO NOT touch the work piece close to the weld as it will be very hot. Allow to cool.
8
DO NOT touch the electrode holder immediately after use. Allow the electrode holder to cool.
8
1.3. VENTILATION
Welding fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. Ensure adequate ventilation in the work area to prevent the build-up of
9
fumes and gases.
If working in an enclosed space, use a fume extractor to remove welding fumes and gases.
9
DO NOT weld the following metals: galvanized, seed crystal, stainless steel, copper, zinc, readings, beryllium calcium.
8
DO NOT inhale welding mist and gas.
8
DO NOT weld near degreasing or spraying operations, avoid toxic gas phosgene or other simulated gases.
8
WARNING! If you feel that your eyes and nose are abnormal, stop welding immediately and improve the aerator.
‰
DO NOT weld where solvent vapours can be drawn into the welding or cutting atmosphere or where the radiant energy can penetrate to
8
atmospheres containing even minute amounts of trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene.
Prevent dangerous conditions arising by providing adequate ventilation. NEVER ventilate with oxygen.
9
DANGER! Lead-, cadmium-, zinc-, mercury- and beryllium-, bearing materials, when welded (or cut) may produce harmful concentrations
▲
of toxic fumes. Adequate local exhaust ventilation must be used, or each person in the area as well as the operator must wear an air-
supplied respirator. For beryllium, both must be used. Metals coated with or containing materials that emit toxic fumes should not be
heated unless coating is removed from the work surface, the area is well ventilated, or the operator wears an air-supplied respirator.
DO NOT work in an unventilated confined space. If necessary, wear an air-supplied respirator.
