SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRIC SHOCK
1. Do not touch live electrical parts.
2. Never use electrode holders or cables which are damaged.
3. Keep the working environment, equipment, cables and clothing free from
grease, oil, moisture and dirt.
4. Ensure the welding machine has been correctly earthed.
5. The operator must be insulated from the floor and work bench using a dry
insulation mat.
6. Always ensure a second person is present in case of accident.
7. Keep welding cables away from power cables.
8. Regularly inspect the condition of the cables for signs of damage.
9. Remove the plug from the mains socket when not in use.
10. Ensure the earth connector is secured to bare metal adjacent to the weld,
and when not in use insulated for safety. - Keep all equipment well
maintained.
FUMES & GASES
1. The welding process generates hazardous fumes as a by-product.
Inhalation of these fumes is hazardous to health.
2. Keep your face away from the weld to avoid breathing the fumes.
3. If welding in confined spaces ensure adequate ventilation and use a fume
extractor.
4. By-products of welding can react to create a toxic/explosive environment.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
1. Welding can cause fire and explosions. Precautions should be taken to
prevent these hazards.
WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRICAL TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY
WARNING: READ ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
OPERATE THIS PRODUCT AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.

2. Before starting work ensure the area is clear of flammable materials and
move any combustible materials to a safe distance, especially substances
likely to generate a dangerous vapours.
3. The welding arc can cause serious burns. Avoid contact with skin.
4. Sparks and molten metal may be ejected during welding. Take
precautions to prevent fire.
5. Sparks and molten metal can pass through gaps. Be aware that fire can
start out of sight.
6. Do not weld to pressurised containers. or containers containing flammable
vapours e.g. fuel tanks.
7. Always have appropriate fire fighting equipment to hand suitable for use in
electrical environments.
8. Avoid carrying any fuels with you e.g. cigarette lighters or matches.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
1. The body should be protected by suitable clothing.
2. The use of neck protection may be necessary against reflected radiation.
3. Arc machines generate a magnetic field which is detrimental to
pacemakers. Consult your doctor before going near active welding
equipment/operations.
4. The UV and IR radiation generated by welding is highly damaging to the
eyes, causing burns. This can also affect the skin.
5. Always use suitable welding shields equipped with appropriate filters.
6. Where there are pedestrians and traffic ensure a protective screen is used
to avoid accidental arc glare.
7. Do not weld in the vicinity of children or animals and ensure no one is
looking before striking an arc.
8. Wear hearing protection if required.
9. Allow the weld to cool. Hot metal should never be handled without gloves.
10. Take care when adjusting or maintaining the electrode/holder, that it has
had time to cool sufficiently and the welder is disconnected from the mains
supply.
11. First aid facilities and a qualified first aid person should be available unless
medical facilities are close by, for immediate treatment of flash burns of
the eyes and skin burns.
12. Flammable hair sprays/gels should not be used by persons welding.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
1. Wear gauntlet type gloves designed for use when welding.
2. Wear a fire resistant apron and protective shoes.
3. Wear cuffless trousers (not turned up) to avoid catching sparks and slag.
4. Avoid wearing oily or greasy clothing.
5. Wear protective head and shoulder coverings if welding overhead.
6. Wear a helmet with safety goggles or glasses with side shields underneath,
appropriate filter lenses or plates (protected by clear glass). This is a MUST
for welding (and chipping) to protect the eyes from radiant energy and
spatter. Replace cover glass when broken, pitted, or spattered.
NOTE: All protective wear inc. masks & head shields MUST comply with
Personal Protective Equipment Directive 89/686/EEC.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR WELDING
1. Always ensure that there is ample free air circulating around the outer
casing of the machine, and that the louvres are unobstructed.
2. Always inspect the cable before use to ensure it is in good condition.
3. Always remove all flammable materials from the welding area.
4. Always keep a fire extinguisher handy;-Dry Powder, CO2or BCF, NOT Water.
5. Never remove the cover panels unless the machine is disconnected from
the power supply, and never use the machine with the panels removed.
6. Never attempt any electrical or mechanical repair unless you are a
qualified technician. If you have a problem with the machine contact your
local CLARKE dealer.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply
through an approved 13 amp BS1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket or
because of damage, it must be removed and a replacement fitted, following
the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be discarded safely as
insertion into a power socket could cause an electrical hazard.
The wires in the mains lead should be
wired up in accordance with the
following colour code:
• Connect the GREEN & YELLOW
coloured wire to the plug
terminal marked with a letter E
or .
• Connect the BROWN coloured
wire to the plug terminal
marked a letter “L”.
• Connect the BLUE coloured wire to the plug terminal marked a letter
“N”.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply
