Breathing welding fumes can be hazardous to your
health.
2.1 Keep your head out of fumes.
2.2 Use forced ventilation or local exhaust to remove
fumes.
2.3 Use ventilating fan to remove fumes.
3
Welding sparks can cause explosion or fire.
3.1 Keep flammable materials away from welding.
3.2 Welding sparks can cause fires. Have a fire extin-
guisher nearby and have a watchperson ready to use
it.
3.3 Do not weld on drums or any closed containers.
4
Arc rays can burn eyes and injure skin.
4.1 Wear hat and safety glasses. Use ear protection and
button shirt collar. Use welding helmet with correct
shade of filter. Wear complete body protection.
5
Become trained and read the instructions before
working on the machine or welding.
6
Do not remove or paint over (cover) label.
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS
The machine Sound Mig 3540/TStar Pulse is a multi-
process system suitable for pulsed synergic MIG/MAG,
MIG/MAG non-pulsed synergic, and conventional
MIG/MAG welding, Tig (Dc) with scratch starting and
MMA, developed with inverter technology. The welding
machine is supplied with 4-roller gearmotor. This welding
machine must not be used to defrost pipes.

2.1.1 Explanation of technical specifications
This machine is manufactured according to the following
international standards: IEC 60974.1 - IEC 60974.10 CL. A -
IEC 61000-3-11 - IEC 61000-3-12 (see note 2).

IP23S
Protection rating for the housing.
Grade 3 as the second digit means that this
equipment may be stored, but it is not
suitable for use outdoors in the rain, unless
it is protected.
S
Suitable for use in high-risk environments.
NOTE:
1- The machine has also been designed for use in envi-
ronments with a pollution rating of 1. (See IEC 60664).
2- This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-12 provided
that the maximum permissible system impedance Zmax
is less than or equal to 0,195 at the interface point
between the user's supply and the public system. It is the
responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to
ensure, by consultation with the distribution network
operator if necessary, that the equipment is connected
only to a supply with maximum permissible system
impedance Zmax less than or equal to 0,195.
