WARNING! Switch off and remove the plug from the mains before
adjusting, cleaning or if the cable is cut, damaged or entangled.
This welding unit is Class 1 and requires an earthed (grounded) connection.
An earth spike must be used with generators.
This unit is supplied in either 110 volt or 230 volt operation. Check the rating
plate on the side of the unit for the correct supply voltage.
The power source must be capable of providing 3500 Watts.
Extension cables should only be used if they comply with the H07RNF
harmonized standard. They must be fitted with connectors to the BS EN
60309-2 standard. All cables must be unwound from the reel to stop inductive
heating effects. The cable dimensions should be as follows:
110 Volt operation 230 Volt operation
Up to 63mm diameter Up to 63mm diameter
2.5mm2 cable = 30m 1.5mm2 cable = 40m
Up to 180mm diameter Up to 180mm diameter
2.5mm2 cable = 20m 1.5mm2 cable = 25m
Over 180mm diameter Over 180mm diameter
4.0mm2 cable = 10m 2.5mm2 cable = 20m
It is recommended for increased electrical safety to use a Residual Current
Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. Always check
your RCD every time you use it.
The supply cable must be inspected for signs of damage before each use and
the equipment may only be used if in perfect condition. Damaged cables must
be replaced by an approved service agent.
This equipment is classified as “Portable for use on industrial applications”,
and must undergo a formal electrical safety check (Portable Appliance Test)
as per local regulations.
