HEALTH AND SAFETY
It is important that this Instruction Manual is read carefully and the instructions complied with, particularly in the
conscientious applications of safety precautions.
This equipment may be classified, for health and safety reasons as Electrical, Electro-Mechanical, or Mechanical.
All products are type checked to the specification given in the current instruction manual or leaflet and, when used for normal
or prescribed applications within the parameters of the specification, will not cause damage or hazard to health and safety,
provided that due regard it given to the Warning and Caution Notices and that normal engineering/safety practices are
observed.
Electrical Precautions
1. Care must be taken to ensure that all power cables especially those connected to the auxiliary (110/240v) output
sockets, are maintained in good condition. Connectors must be well insulated and watertight. All cables must be
regularly inspected for chafing and splitting.
2. Do not allow the auxiliary supply or welding cables to lie in oil, water or any corrosive liquid.
3. Any plugs or sockets which are used for auxiliary output connections or interconnections must conform to local standards.
4. If auxiliary power extension cables are used, ensure that the interconnections are waterproof and secure. Also ensure
that the cable cores are of sufficient cross-sectional area with respect to the length of cable and current being drawn.
Safety Precautions
1. Ear protection must always be worn where engine/appliance noise levels are high.
2. Eye protection should always be worn when using power tools.
3. Do not run the engine within an enclosed or unventilated space
4. Do not operate the unit in the wet (rain, snow or conductive moisture).
5. Consult the engine instruction manual for safe and proper use of the engine fitted to this unit.
Welding Precautions
1. The welding area must be well ventilated.
2. All inflammable material must be removed from the welding area.
3. All containers which have been or are holding inflammable liquids or gases must be removed from the welding area.
4. The welder and any assistant or bystander should be equipped with dark overalls with a high buttoned neck and long
sleeves. A leather apron should be worn where additional protection against heat and spatter is required.
5. Welding gauntlets should be worn to protect hands and to prevent hot droplets from entering open sleeves.
6. DO NOT VIEW THE ARC WITHOUT EYE PROTECTION. A face screen fitted with the correct grade of filter glass for the
welding process and current being used must be worn.
7. Safety goggles must be worn when removing slag from the weld.
