Please view full Warranty terms and conditions
on page 38 of this manual.
4sDo not switch the function modes while the machine is welding. Switching of the function
modes during welding can damage the machine. Damage caused in this manner will not be
covered under warranty.
sDisconnect the electrode-holder cable from the machine before switching on the machine,
to avoid arcing should the electrode be in contact with the work piece.
sOperators should be trained and or qualified.
ELECTRIC SHOCK: It can kill.Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe
burns. The electrode and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input
power circuit and internal machine circuits are also live when power is on. Incorrectly installed
or improperly grounded equipment is dangerous.

SAFETY
Welding and cutting equipment can be dangerous to both the operator and people in or near the surrounding working
area, if the equipment is not correctly operated. Equipment must only be used under the strict and comprehensive
observance of all relevant safety regulations. Read and understand this instruction manual carefully before the
installation and operation of this equipment.

FIRE HAZARD: Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them
to explode. Flying sparks from the welding arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause
fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion,
overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding.
