under the helmet or another protection.
• Use workplace shields in order to protect other
people against blinding light or splinters. Warn
bystanders not to look at the electric arc.
• Use protective clothes made of non-ammable
and non-conductive material (leather, thick wool or
cotton) and appropriate working footwear.
THERMAL PROTECTION
The thermal protection system is activated when the device
exceeds the activation time. It causes the device to switch
o. The status indicator on the front panel glows. The fan
works until the device is cooled. After cooling the device to
the operational temperature, it can be restarted.
DUTY CYCLE
The duty cycle is the percentage of the operating time
(measured in minutes) of a 10-minute period in which
the machine is used continuously in normal temperature
conditions. If the values of the duty cycle are exceeded, this
will trigger the overheat protection function, which stops
the machine until it is cooled down to normal operating
temperature. Repeated situations of exceeding the duty
cycle values may lead to serious damage of the machine.

STARTING WITH THE OPERATION
A. UNPACKING
Unpack all the items which are in the box and make sure
that you have received all items which are listed on the
packing list.
B. WORK ENVIRONMENT
Make sure that the work area is well ventilated. The unit
is cooled by an axial fan that provides an air ow for the
electronics through the rear panel.
(Note! The housing must be installed in order to ensure
that the vent holes are closer to the front of the machine).
Leave at least 15 cm at the front and 15 cm at both sides for
cleaning. If the machine is operated without the adequate
cooling, the length of the duty cycle will be greatly reduced.
C. CABLE CONNECTIONS
Each unit is equipped with a main power cable, which is
responsible for providing current and voltage to the device.
If the device is connected to power, which exceeds the
required voltage, or if the wrong phase is set, it may lead
to severe damage to the unit. This is not covered by the
warranty for the equipment and the user will be responsible
for such situations.
D. TORCH CONNECTIONS
Connect the torch to the inverter by connecting the air
tube that is attached at the end of the torch to the torch
connector on the front part of the machine. Ensure that the
