3.6 Location of use
The ALPHA 850 welding device’s place of use is limited to the industrial and
commercial sector. During bad weather, such as rain, snow, etc., welding outdoors or
in unprotected rooms is prohibited.
In residential and business areas, welding can cause radio interference.
This radio interference can:
•
be life-threatening for people with heart pacemakers,
•
disrupt and/or damage other electrical devices,
•
damage or erase electronic storage media.
During use in residential and business areas, the system operator must ensure that
the electromagnetic fields produced during welding pose no danger to people or
property.
Danger:
•
Beware of death hazard! People with heart pacemakers must always
stay away from stud welding systems!
•
Welding near flammable materials or in fire- or explosion-prone areas
or damp environments is explicitly forbidden!
Warning:
•
External electrical devices may be disrupted or damaged by the
electromagnetic fields that occur during welding!
3.7 Device set-up
When setting up the welding device, it is necessary to provide a level, vibration-free,
anti-slip placement surface. The casters must always be locked.
The placement surface’s load capacity must be at least double the weight of the
welding device.
The ALPHA 850 must be adequately protected against penetration by fluids.
It must not be set up on fluid-carrying lines.
To ensure the fan’s temperature exchange with the environment, maintain a
minimum distance of one metre from any heat sources.
The ventilation slots on the device housing must be kept clear.
