1. Special Precautions
(1) Safety Precautions
Before using, read "Safety Precautions" carefully to understand the correct method
of use.
•These precautions are shown for safe use of our products and for prevention of
damage or injury to operators or others. Be sure to read each of them, since all
of them are important for safety.
•The meaning of the words and symbols is as follows.
Denotes operations and practices
that may imminently result in serious
injury or loss of life if not correctly
followed.
DANGER

Denotes operations and practices
that may result in serious injury or
loss of life if not correctly followed.
WARNING
!
Denotes operations and practices that
may result in personal injury or
damage to the equipment if
not
correctly followed.
CAUTION
！
!
Do not touch the inside of the Equipment unnecessarily
Since very high voltages are applied to the interior of this Equipment, it is
dangerous to touch it unnecessarily. Do not open the cover for the purposes
other than replacing the battery. When trouble occurs and inspection or repair
is needed, consult us.
Never disassemble, repair or modify the Equipment
These actions can cause electric shock and fire. Do not do anything other than
the maintenance described in the operation manual.
Never burn, destroy, cut, crush or chemically decompose the Equipment
This product incorporates parts containing gallium arsenide (GaAs).
DANGER

MA-660A
1. Special Precautions
1-2
Do not put your hands between the electrodes
When welding, keep your fingers and hands away from the electrodes.
Do not touch any welded part or electrodes during welding and just after
welding finished
The welded part of a workpiece, electrodes and arm are very hot.
Do not touch them; otherwise you may be burnt.
Do not splash water on the Equipment
Water splashed over the electric parts can cause electric shock and short
circuits.
Connect the specified cables securely
Cables of insufficient current capacities and loose connections can cause fire
and electric shock.
Do not damage the connecting cables
Do not tread on, twist or tense any cable. The connecting cables may be
broken, and that can cause electric
shock and fire. When repair or
replacement is needed, consult us.
Stop the operation if any trouble occurs
Continuous operation after occurrence of a trouble such as burning smell,
abnormal sound, abnormal heat, smoke, etc. can cause electric shock and
fire. If such a trouble occurs, immediately consult us or your distributor.
Persons with pacemakers must stay clear of the welding machine
A person who uses a pacemaker must not approach the welding machine or
walk around the welding shop while the welding machine is in operation,
without being permitted by his/her doctor. The welding machine generates a
magnetic field and has effects on the operation of the pacemaker while it is
turned on.
Protective gear must be worn
Put on protective gear such as protective gloves, long-sleeve jacket, leather
apron, etc. Surface flash and expulsion can burn the skin if they touch the
skin.
Wear protective glasses
If you look at the flash and expulsion directly during welding, your eyes may
be damaged. If any surface flash and expulsion gets in your eye, you may
lose your eyesight.
WARNING
！

MA-660A
1. Special Precautions
1-3
Do not place a water container on the Equipment
If water spills, insulation will deteriorate, and this may cause electric leak and
fire.
Keep combustible matter away from the Equipment
Surface flash and expulsion can ignite combustible matter. If it is impossible
to remove all combustible matter, cover them with non-combustible material.
Do not cover the Equipment with a blanket, cloth, etc.
If such a cover is used, it may be overheated and burn.
Do not use this Equipment for purposes other than welding
Use of this Equipment in a manner other than specified can cause electric
shock and fire.
Use ear protectors
Loud noises can damage hearing.
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby
Keep a fire extinguisher in the welding shop in case of fire.
Maintain and inspect the Equipment periodically
Maintain and inspect the Equipment periodically, and repair any damage
nearby before starting operation.

(2) Precautions for Handling
■Handle the Transformer with care so as not to make an impact such as drop on
it.
■Do not use this Equipment in the following places:
・damp places (where humidity is higher than 90%),
・hot or cold places (where temperatures is above 40°C or below 5°C),
・places near a high noise source,
・places where chemicals are handled,
・places where water will be condensed,
・dusty places, and
・places at an altitude above 1000 meters.
■Clean the outside of the Equipment with a soft, dry cloth or one wet with a little
water. If it is very dirty, use diluted neutral detergent or alcohol. Do not use paint
thinner, benzine, etc., since they can discolor or deform the Equipment.
■Do not put a screw, a coin, etc., in the Equipment, since they can cause a
malfunction.
■Operate the Equipment according to the method described in this operation
manual.
■Operate the switches and buttons carefully by hand. If they are operated roughly
or with the tip of a screwdriver, a pen, etc., this will cause malfunction or
damage.
■Operate the switches and buttons one by one. If two or more are operated at a
time, the Equipment may malfunction or be damaged.
(3) On Disposal

2. Features
The MA-660A is a program unit which is connected to our welding power supplies and
used to set the operating condition, etc. of those products.
The MA-660A can be connected to applicable products; it can be used by rewriting the
contents of the memory.
CAUTION
Normally, the equipment can be used as a program unit just after the power is turned
on. However, it takes several minutes to rewrite the contents of the memory in the
following cases.
•When there is no program in the memory.
•When the model number of equipment differs from that of the equipment
previously connected.
•When the program version of equipment differs from that of the equipment
previously connected.
