Safety measures
in normal opera-
tion
Electromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health:
-
effects on the health of others in the vicinity, e.g. wearers of pacemakers
and hearing aids
- wearers of pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before ap-
proaching the device or any welding that is in progress
- for safety reasons, keep distances between the welding cables and the
welder's head/torso as large as possible
- do not carry welding cables and hosepacks over the shoulders or wind
them around any part of the body
A device toppling over could easily kill someone. Place the device on a solid,
level surface such that it remains stable
-
The maximum permissible tilt angle is 10°.
Special regulations apply in rooms at risk of fire or explosion
-
Observe relevant national and international regulations.
Use internal directives and checks to ensure that the workplace environment
is always clean and clearly laid out.
Only set up and operate the device in accordance with the protection class
shown on the rating plate.
When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guide-
lines and accident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines
regarding the risks arising during transport.
After transporting the device, the device must be visually inspected for dam-
age before commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service
technicians before commissioning the device.
Only operate the device when all safety devices are fully functional. If the safe-
ty devices are not fully functional, there is a risk of
-
injury or death to the operator or a third party,
- damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operator,
- inefficient operation of the device.
Any safety devices that are not functioning properly must be repaired before
switching on the device.
Never bypass or disable safety components.
Before switching on the device, ensure that no one is likely to be endangered.
Check the device at least once a week for obvious damage and proper func-
tioning of safety devices.
