GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read all instructions properly. Failure to follow the instructions listed
below can cause electric shock, fire, serious injuries, mutilation and/or damage to the equipment.
A. SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA.
* Keep the work area clean and lit. Crowded or dark areas lead to accidents.
* Do not operate the equipment without first checking all gas connections with soapy water, to ensure that
there are no leaks that could cause an explosion.
* Keep children, customers and non-company personnel away from the electrical and mechanical operation
area of the equipment.
* It is recommended to have a minimum space of one meter or three feet around the machine for safety
measure and to optimize work.
B. ELECTRICAL SAFETY.
* Machinery connections must be adapted to the power outlets.
* Do not use adapters for the switches: since you run the risk of receiving an electric shock.
* Do not expose the switches and / or electrical connections to rain or humidity. If water enters these
elements, there is a risk that they will break down or suffer an electric shock.
* Use cable in a single piece. If there are joints in the connections these can produce a short circuit.
* Do not expose cables or electrical connections to heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts, as damaged
cables can cause electric shock or short circuit.
C. PERSONAL SAFETY
* Do not operate the equipment if you are tired, under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

GAS AND ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
At the outlet of the gas tank, a model 10-080 high-pressure regulator must be installed, with a pressure gauge
(0-7 Kg.) to verify the correct supply pressure. The pipe used for the connection is ½”of diameter,
either L-type copper or 40-gauge black tubing.
The length of the pipe should not exceed 10 meters, from the outlet of the gas tank.
A union nut must be installed between the stopcock and the low-pressure regulator.
Before the machine’s gas input, a low-pressure regulator must be installed.
Verify that the electrical connection is 220v. No short circuits, no loose or bare wires.
