2.3 Safety instructions for electrical components
► Check electric tools for damage and ensure that they function properly
and in accordance with their designated use.
► Do not expose electric tools to rain and avoid a moist or wet
environment.
► Protect yourself from electric shock by using insulating mats and wearing
dry clothing.
► Do not use the electric tools in areas subject to fire or explosion hazards.
2.4 Safety instructions for welding
► Arc welding may cause damage to the eyes, skin and hearing. Please
note that other hazards may arise when the device is used with other
welding components. Therefore, always wear the required safety
clothing in compliance with local regulations.
► All metal vapors, especially from lead, cadmium, copper, and beryllium,
are harmful. Ensure sufficient ventilation or extraction. Do not exceed the
current occupational exposure limits (OEL).
► To prevent the formation of phosgene gas, rinse workpieces that have
been degreased with chlorinated solvents using clean water. Do not
place degreasing baths containing chlorine in the vicinity of the welding
area.
► Further hazards may exist in connection with various welding torches, for
example those caused by electrical current (welding power source,
internal circuit), weld spatter with regard to combustible or explosive
materials, UV radiation from the arc, smoke and vapours.
► Adhere to the general fire protection regulations and remove flammable
materials from the vicinity of the welding work area prior to starting
work. Provide appropriate fire extinguishing equipment in the
