No.P10224
P. 4 /47
WELDING can cause fire and explosion.
Sparks and spatter fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks and hot metal, spatter, hot base
metal, and hot equipment can cause fire and explosion. Accidental contact of electrode or
welding wire to metal object can cause sparks, overheating, or fire.
1. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metals.
2. Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
3. Remove all flammables within 33ft. (10m) of the welding arc. If this is not possible, tightly,
cover them with approved covers.
4. Be alert that welding sparks and hot metals from welding can easily pass through cracks and
openings into adjacent areas.
5. Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
6. Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can ignite a hidden fire.
7. Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks or drums.
8. Connect base metal side cable as close to the welding area as possible to prevent the
welding current from traveling along unknown paths and causing electric shock and fire
hazards.
9. Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at contact tip when not in use.
10. Do not use the welding power source for other than arc welding.
11. Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, a heavy shirt, cuffless trousers,
boots, and a cap.
12. A loose cable connection can cause sparks and excessive heating.
13. Tighten all cable connections.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous to your health.
Arc welding produce fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to
your health.
1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
2. Ventilate the area and / or use exhaust at the arc to remove welding fumes and gases.
3. If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
4. Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and the manufacturer’s instructions on
metals, consumables, coatings, and cleaners.
5. Do not weld or cut 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.
6. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied
respirator. Shielding gases used for welding can displace air causing injury or death.
Be sure the breathing air is safe.

6.1 Power source utility (for commercial power source)
WARNING
●When the welding machine is used in such a humid environment as construction site, on the
steel plate, or on steel structure, install a leakage breaker.
CAUTION
●Be sure to install a switch with fuse or a circuit breaker (for motor) at input side of welding
machine.
●Capacity of necessary power source utility
CPDACA-200
Power supply voltage and phase 460V, Three phases
Tolerance of fluctuation of power supply voltage 460V
Installed capacity 21kVA or more
Capacity of switch/circuit breaker 40 A
6.2 Precautions against the use of engine generator
CAUTION
●To prevent damage to engine generator or auxiliary power, follow the instructions below.
●Set the engine generator to within the voltage range between 460 and 483V. Setting to excessive
high output voltage may result in product damage.
●Use the engine generator with a damper winding of which capacity is more than twice as much as
the rated input of the machine. Generally, the recovery time of the engine generator’s voltage for
load change is slower than that of the commercial input power source, and if the engine generator
does not have sufficient capacity, sudden current change such as arc start may occur. This may
result in abnormal decrease in output current or arc loss. Ask a manufacturer of engine generator
for a damper winding.
●Do not combine more than two welding machines with an engine generator. The effect of each
machine may cause easy loss of arc.
●Use the auxiliary power source of engine welder whose waveform has been improved. Some
auxiliary power sources are poor at electricity conduction, which may lead to damage to the
welding machine. Contact a manufacturer of engine welder for the improvement of waveform.

8. CONNECTION PROCEDURE AND GROUD FOR SAFETY USE (continued)
CAUTION
●Be sure to install a switch with fuse or a circuit breaker (for motor) at the input side of each
welding machine.
CAUTION
●Be sure to ground the welding power source.
●Grounding cable thickness: AWG 8 or more
If the welding power source not grounded is used, voltage is generated in the case through the
capacitor between the welding power source input circuit and the case or floating capacity
(electrostatic capacity naturally generated between the input conductor and the case metal).
Touching the case or the base metal may cause an electric shock. Be sure to ground the case
of the welding power source or jig.
8.3 Grounding and connection of input side
●Be sure to properly ground welding power source to avoid electric shock.
