Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

01/11

This machine has been designed in accordance with all relevant directives and standards. However, it may still generate

electromagnetic disturbances that can affect other systems like telecommunications (telephone, radio, and television) or

other safety systems. These disturbances can cause safety problems in the affected systems. Read and understand this

section to eliminate or reduce the amount of electromagnetic disturbance generated by this machine.

This machine has been designed to operate in an industrial area. To operate in a domestic area it is necessary

to observe particular precautions to eliminate possible electromagnetic disturbances. The operator must install

and operate this equipment as described in this manual. If any electromagnetic disturbances are detected the

operator must put in place corrective actions to eliminate these disturbances, if necessary with assistance from

Lincoln Electric.

Before installing the machine, the operator must check the work area for any devices that may malfunction because of

electromagnetic disturbances. Consider the following.

Input and output cables, control cables, and telephone cables that are in or adjacent to the work area and the machine.

Radio and/or television transmitters and receivers. Computers or computer controlled equipment.

Safety and control equipment for industrial processes. Equipment for calibration and measurement.

Personal medical devices like pacemakers and hearing aids.

Check the electromagnetic immunity for equipment operating in or near the work area. The operator must be sure that

all equipment in the area is compatible. This may require additional protection measures.

The dimensions of the work area to consider will depend on the construction of the area and other activities that are

taking place.

Consider the following guidelines to reduce electromagnetic emissions from the machine.

Connect the machine to the input supply according to this manual. If disturbances occur if may be necessary to take

additional precautions such as filtering the input supply.

The output cables should be as short as possible and positioned together as close as possible to each other. If possible

connect the work piece to ground in order to reduce the electromagnetic emissions. The operator must check that

connecting the work piece to ground does not cause problems or unsafe operating conditions for personnel and

equipment.

Shielding of cables in the work area can reduce electromagnetic emissions. This may be necessary for special

applications.

WARNING

EMC classification of this product is class A in accordance with electromagnetic compatibility standard EN 60974-10 which

means that the product is designed to be used in an industrial environment only.

WARNING

The Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public

low-voltage supply system. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in those locations,

due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.

Safety

01/11

WARNING

This equipment have to be used by qualified personnel. Be sure that all installation, operation, maintenance and repair

procedures are performed only by qualified person. Read and understand this manual before operating this equipment.

Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could cause serious personal injury, loss of life, or equipment damage. Read

and understand the following explanations of the warning symbols. Lincoln Electric is not responsible for damages caused

by improper installation, improper care or abnormal operation.

WARNING: This symbol indicates that instructions must be followed to avoid serious personal injury, loss

of life, or equipment damage. Protect yourself and others from possible serious injury or death.

READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTIONS: Read and understand this manual before operating this

equipment. Arc welding can be hazardous. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could cause

serious personal injury, loss of life, or equipment damage.

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL: Welding equipment generates high voltages. Do not touch the electrode,

work clamp, or connected work pieces when this equipment is turned on. Insulate yourself from the

electrode, work clamp, and connected work pieces.

ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Turn off the input power using the disconnect switch at the

fuse box before working on this equipment. Ground this equipment in accordance with local electrical

regulations.

ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Regularly inspect the input, electrode, and work clamp

cables. If any insulation damage exists replace the cable immediately. Do not place the electrode holder

directly on the welding table or any other surface in contact with the work clamp to avoid the risk of

accidental arc ignition.

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD MAY BE DANGEROUS: Electric current flowing through any conductor

creates electromagnetic field (EMF). EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having

a pacemaker shall consult their physician before operating this equipment.

CE COMPLIANCE: This equipment complies with the European Community Directives.

ARTIFICIAL OPTICAL RADIATION: According with the requirements in 2006/25/EC Directive and

EN 12198 Standard, the equipment is a category 2. It makes mandatory the adoption of Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE) having filter with a protection degree up to a maximum of 15, as required by

EN169 Standard.

FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS: Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to

health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. To avoid these dangers the operator must use enough

ventilation or exhaust to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.

ARC RAYS CAN BURN: Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from

sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing. To protect the skin, use suitable clothing made

of durable, fireproof material. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and

warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc.

English 4 English

WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Remove fire hazards from the welding area

and have a fire extinguisher easily accessible. Welding sparks and hot materials from the welding process

can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Do not weld on any tanks, drums,

containers, or material until the proper steps have been taken to insure that no flammable or toxic vapors

will be present. Never use this equipment when flammable gases, vapors or flammable liquids are

present.

WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN: Welding generates a large amount of heat. Hot surfaces and

materials in work area can cause serious burns. Use gloves and pliers when touching or moving materials

in the work area.

CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED: Use only certificate, compressed gas cylinders containing the

correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and

pressure used. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to a fixed support. Do not

move or transport gas cylinders with the protection cap removed. Do not allow the electrode, electrode

holder, work clamp or any other electrically live part to touch a gas cylinder. Gas cylinders must be located

away from areas where they may be subjected to physical damage or the welding process including

sparks and heat sources.

MOVING PARTS ARE DANGEROUS: There are moving mechanical parts in this machine, which can

cause serious injury. Keep your hands, body and clothing away from those parts during machine starting,

operating and servicing.

SAFETY MARK: This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding operations carried out in an

environment with increased risk of electric shock.

The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and/or improvements in design without upgrade at the same time the

operator’s manual.
