FURTHER PRECAUTIONS FOR MMA WELDING

1. ALWAYS ensure that there is full free air circulating around the outer casing of

the machine and that the louvres are unobstructed.

2. A welding arc can seriously damage your eyes. Both operator and spectators must

ALWAYS use a proper welding face shield or helmet with suitable filter lenses.

Proper gloves and working clothes should be worn at all times.

3. ALWAYS remove all flammable materials from the welding area.

4. NEVER remove any of the panels unless the machine is disconnected from the

supply and never use the machine with any of the panels removed.

5. NEVER use or store in a damp environment. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN.

6. NEVER attempt any electrical or mechanical repair unless your are a qualified

technician. If you have a problem with the machine contact your local CLARKE

dealer.

7. ALWAYS keep a fire extinguisher handy (Dry Powder, C02 or BCF, NOT Water).

8. NEVER continue to weld, if, at any time, you feel even the smallest electric shock.

Stop welding IMMEDIATELY and DO NOT attempt to use the machine until the

fault is diagnosed and corrected.

9. NEVER allow the earth cable or torch to become wrapped around the operator or

any person in the vicinity.

A comprehensive range of CLARKE safety equipment for use when welding is available

from your local dealer. See page 37.

Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed

welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically

continuous throughout its length.

The shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good

electrical contact is maintained between the conduit and the welding power source

enclosure.

The welding equipment should be routinely maintained according to the

manufacturer’s recommendations (see page 33). All access and service doors and

covers should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equipment is in

operation. The welding equipment should not be modified in any way except for those

changes and adjustments covered in the manufacturer’s instructions. In particular, the

spark gaps of arc striking and stabilizing devices should be adjusted and maintained

according to the manufacturers recommendations.
