Il reste une TENSION DC NON NÉGLIGEABLE dans les sources de soudage onduleur quand on a coupé l’alimentation. D Arrêter les convertisseurs, débrancher le courant électrique et décharger les condensateurs d’alimentation selon les instructions indiquées dans la partie Entretien avant de toucher les pièces. DES PIÈCES CHAUDES peuvent provoquer des brûlures graves.
ACCUMULATIONS risquent de provoquer des blessures ou même la mort. D Fermer l’alimentation du gaz protecteur en cas de non-utilisation. D Veiller toujours à bien aérer les espaces confi- nés ou se servir d’un respirateur d’adduction d’air homologué. LES CHAMPS MAGNETIQUES peuv- ent affecter des implants médicaux.
LES FILS DE SOUDAGE peuvent provoquer des blessures. D Ne pas appuyer sur la gâchette avant d’en avoir reçu l’instruction. D Ne pas diriger le pistolet vers soi, d’autres per- sonnes ou toute pièce mécanique en enga- geant le fil de soudage. DES ORGANES MOBILES peuvent provoquer des blessures.

4-8. Electrical Service Guide NOTICE − INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. This welding power source requires a CONTINUOUS supply of input power at rated frequency(+10%) and voltage (+10%). Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. Do not use a genera- tor with automatic idle device (that idles engine when no load is sensed) to supply input power to this welding power source.
4-9. Connecting 3-Phase Input Power Tools Needed: = GND/PE Earth Ground Installation must meet all National and Local Codes − have only quali- fied persons make this installation. Disconnect and lockout/tagout in- put power before connecting input conductors from unit. Always connect green or green/ yellow conductor...
