Working surroundings
Mains connection
The mains connection socket has to be checked by a qualified
employee in the field of electrical equipment. This is also true
for, e.g. mobile connections on construction sites.
The mains voltage and the safeguarding have to meet the
values of the technical data.
Danger of fire and explosion
Sparks can unintentionally cause fires. Therefore remove all
inflammable things from the working area or take appropriate
protective measures.
There is increased danger in flammable areas as well as in or
at containers filled with dangerous substances. In such areas
you are only permitted to weld after receipt of the official release
by the works manager.
Restricted areas
In cramped rooms with conductive walls welding current sour-
ces are not permitted to be installed.
Ventilation or suction
At fixed welding places or when welding objects that are
leaded, galvanized, cadmium-plated or painted with leaded
colours and in cramped rooms appropriate ventilation is neces-
sary. Health damaging smoke and gas can develop.
Magnetic fields
Pacemakers or implants
Due to the design high magnetic fields develop for a short time.
Persons with magnetically influenceable pacemakers or metal
implants may not approach the equipment. If necessary signs
have to be put up.
Staying away from electric equipments
A sufficient safe gap must be kept between electric and elec-
tronic equipments that can be disrupted or destroyed by ma-
gnetic fields.
Magnetic stores
All magnetic stores near the equipment or the cables can be
destroyed, such as floppy discs, magnetic tapes or magnetic
cards (telephone- and cheque cards).
