MAGNETIC FIELDS!
During stud welding, strong electro-magnetic fields are
generated. Do not weld in the vicinity of the electrical
equipment which could be affected.
Safety instructions are a delicate subject. Anybody who handles a stud welding
unit, whether it is the welding gun or the power unit, should be familiar with them,

In addition to the protection of your health and the capital value of the enterprise, the
safety instructions are intended to clarify any responsibilities, which arise from
ownership and operation of the equipment.
This chapter of the operating manual offers you clear and easy to understand information
