  CAUTION

 

 

 

 

Damage due to incorrect connection! 
Accessory components and the power source itself can be damaged by incorrect 
connection! 
•  Only insert and lock accessory components into the relevant connection socket when the 

machine is switched off. 

•  Comprehensive descriptions can be found in the operating instructions for the relevant 

accessory components. 

•  Accessory components are detected automatically after the power source is switched on. 

 

 

 

Using protective dust caps! 
Protective dust caps protect the connection sockets and therefore the machine against 
dirt and damage. 
•  The protective dust cap must be fitted if there is no accessory component being operated 

on that connection. 

•  The cap must be replaced if faulty or if lost! 

 

 

 

5.2

 

Installation

 

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

 

 

Installation site! 
The machine must not be operated in the open air and must only be set up and 
operated on a suitable, stable and level base! 
•  The operator must ensure that the ground is non-slip and level, and provide sufficient 

lighting for the place of work. 

•  Safe operation of the machine must be guaranteed at all times. 

 

 

 

5.3

 

Machine cooling

 

To obtain an optimal duty cycle from the power components, the following precautions should be 
observed:

 

 

Ensure that the working area is adequately ventilated.

 

 

Do not obstruct the air inlets and outlets of the machine.

 

 

Do not allow metal parts, dust or other objects to get into the machine.

 

5.4

 

Workpiece lead, general 

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

 

 

Risk of burns due to incorrect connection of the workpiece lead! 
Paint, rust and dirt on the connection restrict the power flow and may lead to stray 
welding currents. 
Stray welding currents may cause fires and injuries! 
•  Clean the connections! 
•  Fix the workpiece lead securely! 
•  Do not use structural parts of the workpiece as a return lead for the welding current! 
•  Take care to ensure faultless power connections!
