Safety Precautions
Long-term inhalation of fumes and gases released from welding and cutting is very
dangerous.
• Keep away from the moving parts.
• Keep all protective devices such as covers, panels, aps, etc., of machinery and equipment closed and
in locked position.
• Wear metal toe shoes against the possibility of heavy objects falling on to your feet.
• Use a suitable protective mask and glass filter (4 to 13 according to EN 379) suitable for that to
protect your eyes and face.
• Protect other naked parts of your body (arms, neck, ears, etc.) with suitable protective clothing from
these rays.
• Enclose your work area with ame-resistant folding screens and hang warning signs at eye level so
that people around you will not sustain injuries from arc rays and hot metals.
• This machine is not used for heating of icebound pipes.This operation performed with the welding
machine causes explosion, fire or damage to your installation.
• Burning sensations and irritations in the eyes, nose and throat are signs of inadequate ventilation. In
such a case, immediately boost the ventilation of the work area, and if the problem persists, stop the
welding process completely.
• Create a natural or artificial ventilation system in the work area.
• Use a suitable fume extraction system where welding and cutting works are being carried out. If
necessary, install a system that can expel fumes and gases accumulated in the entire workshop. Use a
suitable filtration system to avoid polluting the environment during discharge.
• If you are working in narrow and confined spaces or if you are welding lead, beryllium, cadmium,
zinc, coated or painted materials, use masks that provide fresh air in addition to the above
precautions.
• If the gas tanks are grouped in a separate zone, ensure that they are well ventilated, keep the main
valves closed when gas cylinders are not in use, pay attention to possible gas leaks.
• Shielding gases such as argon are denser than air and can be inhaled instead of air if used in confined
spaces.This is dangerous for your health as well.
• Do not perform welding operations in the presence of chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors released
during lubrication or painting operations.

• Never pull from torches, cables or hoses. Be absolutely sure to carry gas cylinders separately.
• Remove all interconnections before transporting the welding and cutting equipment, each being
separately, lift and transport small ones using its handles, and the big ones from its handling rings or
by using appropriate haulage equipment, such as forklifts.
• Place your machine on the oor and platforms with a maximum tilt of 10° so that it does not fall or
tip over. Choose places that do not interfere with the ow of materials, where there is no risk of
tripping over on cables and hoses; yet, large, easily ventilatable, dust-free areas.To prevent gas
cylinders from tipping over, on machines with a gas platform suitable for the tanks, fix the tanks on
to the platform; in stationary usage applications, fix them to the wall with a chain in a way that they
would not tip over for sure.
• Allow operators to easily access settings and connections on the machine.
• Allow the machine to cool down according to operation cycle rates.
• Reduce the current or operation cycle rate before starting the welding again.
• Do not block the fronts of air vents of the machines.
• Do not put filters that do not have manufacturer approvals into the machine’s ventilation ports.
• This device is in group 2, class A in EMC tests according toTS EN 55011 standard.
• This class A device is not intended for use in residential areas where electrical power is supplied from
a low-voltage power supply. There may be potential diiculties in providing electromagnetic
compatibility due to radio frequency interference transmitted and emitted in such places.
• Make sure that the work area complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Electromagnetic
interferences during welding or cutting operations may cause undesired eects on your electronic
devices and network; and the eects of these interferences that may occur during these operations
are under the responsibility of the user.
• If there is any interference, to ensure compliance; extra measures may be taken, such as the use
of short cables, use of shielded (armored) cables, transportation of the welding machine to another
location, removal of cables from the aected device and/or area, use of filters or taking the work area
under protection in terms of EMC.
• To avoid possible EMC damage, make sure to perform your welding operations as far away from your
sensitive electronic devices as possible (100m).
• Ensure that your welding and/or cutting machine has been installed and situated in its place
according to the user manual.
This device is not compliant with IEC 61000 -3-12. In case if it is desired to be connected

USER MANUAL | KULLANIM KILAVUZU
Accordng to artcle 5.2 of IEC 60974-9;
Before installing the welding and cutting equipment, the person in charge of the operation and/or the
user must conduct an inspection of possible electromagnetic interference in the environment. Aspects
indicated below has to be taken into consideration;
a)Other supply cables, control cables, signal and telephone cables, above and below the welding
machine and its equipment,
b)Radio and television transmitters and receivers,
c) Computer and other control hardware,
d)Critical safety equipment, e.g. protection of industrial equipment,
e)Medical apparatus for people in the vicinity, e.g. pacemakers and hearing aids,
f)Equipment used for measuring or calibration,
g)Immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user must ensure that the other equipment in
use in the environment is compatible.This may require additional protection measures.
h)Considering the time during which the welding operations or other activities take place during the
day, the boundaries of the investigation area can be expanded according to the size of the building,
the structure of the building and other activities that are being performed in the building.
In addition to the evaluation of the field, evaluation of device installations may also be necessary for
solving the interfering eect.
In case if deemed necessary, on-site measurements can also be used to confirm the eiciency of
mitigation measures. (Source: IEC 60974-9).
• The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply in the recommended manner by a
competent person. If interference occurs, additional measures may be applied, such as filtering the
network.
The supply of the fixed-mounted arc welding equipment must be made in a metal tube or with an
equivalent shielded cable.The housing of the power supply must be connected and a good electrical
contact between these two structures has to be provided.
• The recommended routine maintenance of the appliance must be carried out. All covers on the body
of the machine must be closed and/or locked when the device is in use. Any changes, other than the
standard settings without the written approval of the manufacturer, cannot be modified on the
appliance. Otherwise, the user is responsible for any consequences that may possibly occur.
• Welding cables should be kept as short as possible. They must move along the oor of the work area,
in a side by side manner.Welding cables should not be wound in any way.
• A magnetic field is generated on the machine during welding.This may cause the machine to pull
metal parts on to itself.To avoid this attraction, make sure that the metal materials are at a safe
distance or fixed. The operator must be insulated from all these interconnected metal materials.
• In cases where the workpiece cannot be connected to the ground due to electrical safety, or because
of its size and position (for example, in building marine vessel bodies or in steel construction
manufacturing), a connection between the workpiece and the grounding may reduce emissions in
some cases, it should be kept in mind that grounding of the workpiece may cause users to sustain
injuries or other electrical equipment in the environment to break down. In cases where necessary,
the workpiece and the grounding connection can be made as a direct connection, but in some
countries where direct connection is not permissible, the connection can be established using
appropriate capacity elements in accordance with local regulations and ordinances.
• Screening and shielding of other devices and cables in the work area can prevent aliasing eects.
Screening of the entire welding area can be evaluated for some specific applications.

USER MANUAL | KULLANIM KILAVUZU
Safety Precautions
The electrical current passing through any conductor generates zonal electric and magnetic fields (EMF).
All welders must follow the following procedures to minimize the risk of exposure to EMF from the
welding circuit;
• In the name of reducing the magnetic field, the welding cables must be assembled and secured as far
as possible with the joining materials (tape, cable ties etc.).
• The welder’s/worker’s body and head should be kept as far away from the welding machine and
cables as possible,
• Welding and electric cables should not be wrapped around the body of the machine in any way,
• The body of the machine should not get caught between the welding cables. The source cables must
be kept away from the body of the machine, both being placed side by side,
• The return cable must be connected to the workpiece as close as possible to the welded area,
• The welding machine should not rest against the power unit, ensconce on it and not work too close
to it,
• Welding work should not be performed when carrying the welding wire supply unit or welding
power unit.
EMF may also disrupt the operation of medical implants (materials placed inside the body), such as
pacemakers. Protective measures should be taken for people who carry medical implants. For example,
access limitation may be imposed for passers-by, or individual risk assessments may be conducted for
welders. Risk assessment should be conducted and recommendations should be made by a medical
professional for users who carry medical implants.
• Do not expose the machine to rain, prevent the machine from splashing water or pressurized steam.
• Choose the welding method and welding machine for the welding work you are to perform.
• Select the welding current and/or voltage to match the material and thickness you are going to weld.
• If you have to wait for a long time before you start your welding work, turn o the machine after the
fan has cooled it down. Our machines (our products) with smart fan control will turn o on their own.
• This device is not domestic waste. It must be directed to recycling within the framework of the
European Union directive and national laws.
• Obtain information from your dealer and authorized persons about the waste management of your
used machines.
