the eyes. People who use pacemakers
and cardiac rhythm stabilization devic-
es cannot carry out welding work and
come closer than 15 meters to the place
of welding work.

WARNING!
This equipment corresponds to the radio frequency equipment class "A": the
equipment containing ignition and arc stabilization devices. According to IEC
61000–3–11 and 61000–3–12 standards, this equipment is intended for use in
non-residential premises connected to the household power supply system.
It is recommended to connect the welding machine to a power network de-
signed to supply short-circuit power up to 5.5 kVA (SAB-14D MINI), 6,8 kVA
(M-16PW (2021), M-18D (2021), SAB-17DX), 7 kVA (SAB-15DX).
6. GROUNDING AND
CONNECTION
WARNING!
The electrical socket to which the
welding machine is connected must
be grounded.
Grounding prevents the possibility
of electric shock. The use of electri-
cal networks that are not equipped
with a ground circuit increases the
risk of electric shock. It is strictly
forbidden to use the welding ma-
chine without grounding!
This instruction cannot take into
account all possible cases that may
arise in the real conditions of op-
eration of the welding machine. In
these cases, it is necessary to be
extremely attentive, careful and fol-
low all safety instructions during
welding.
The welding machine consists of the fol-
lowing main parts (Fig. 5):

Make sure that the welding machine
is disconnected from the electrical
network and the power switch is in
the "0" position.
