•
Use suitable personal protection equipment for
overhead work (e.g. hard hat, safety goggles,
gloves, protective clothes …) to guard against
falling items.
•
During work breaks and after completion of the
welding job, place the hand extruder on the rests
supplied for this purpose.
CAUTION The hot air hood must be remounted.
Make sure that the hand extruder is firmly
positioned!
Deposit the hand extruder in a dry location.
After completion of the welding job, cool the hand
extruder to safe-to-touch temperature, using the
air supply system.
•
Do not operate, dismantle or carry out any
modifications on the hand extruder, if
- the connecting cable or the mains connector
is defective,
- safety devices are damaged,
- foreign matter or liquid has penetrated into the
hand extruder,
- the unit does not work properly or there are
unusual changes in its operating behaviour.
•

2.6 Safety instructions for maintenance,
inspection and mounting
The Operator is responsible for ensuring that
maintenance, inspection and mounting activities are
performed by authorized and qualified personnel
who are thoroughly familiar with the operating
instructions.
•
As a rule, the hand extruder must be shut off and
the connector unplugged before proceeding to
any work on the unit. The shutoff procedure for
the hand extruder described in the operating
instructions must be strictly observed.
•
Electrical hazards must be ruled out (for details,
see VDE guidelines and the standards of your
local electric utility, for instance).
•
VDE 0701 (IEC 335) prescribes the
measurement of the protective conductor
resistance, insulation resistance and leakage
current after each repair or modification to
electrical equipment. Furthermore, a visual
inspection of the unit and its connecting cable as
well as voltage and current measurements and a
function test must be carried out.
•
Ensure the safe and environmentally compatible
disposal of media, auxiliary materials and
replaced parts!
•
Remount and reactivate all safety and protective
devices immediately on completion of the
maintenance, inspection or repair work.
2.7 Unauthorized modifications and spare parts
Modifications or changes to the unit are only allowed
after consultation with the Manufacturer. In the
interest of safety, only original spare parts and
accessories authorized by the Manufacturer should
