Safety instructions / Assembling the welding shield / Preparing to weld
burns all over the body with the
appropriate clothing and face
protection. Remember the follow-
ing steps:
- Put on protective clothing before
welding.
- Put on gloves.
- Open windows or use vent to
ensure air supply.
- Wear safety goggles and a mask.
Wear gauntlet gloves made
from suitable material (leather)
on both hands. These must be
in good condition.
Wear suitable aprons to protect
the clothing from sparks and
burns. When required based on
the working method, e.g. weld-
ing overhead, wear a protective
suit and, if necessary, a head
guard.
Protecting against
rays and burns
Mark the work area with a sign
“Danger! Do not look into
flames!“ to indicate the risk to
the eyes. If possible, shield the
work areas to protect persons
nearby. Keep unauthorised per-
sons away from the welding area.
Walls in the direct vicinity of
fixed work areas should be nei-
ther light coloured nor glossy.
Protect windows against rays
passing through or reflecting at
a minimum to head height, e.g.
with suitable paint.
Assembling the welding shield
Attach the handle

as shown in Fig. B.
Install the protective glass

to the welding
shield

as shown in Fig. B.
Preparing to weld
Note: When activating the power verify the current
indicator moves and the lead screw is not jammed.
Note: If the tensioning force of the electrode
holder
5
and the earth terminal
4
subsides,
replace immediately.
Connect the electric cables.
Set the ON / OFF switch
2
to the “ON“ posi-
tion. The current indicator will light up when
operation starts.
To end operation, set the ON / OFF switch
2
to the auf “OFF“ position.
Note: The yellow indicator light
6
lighting
up indicates overheating. The electric circuit will
automatically be broken. Operation will end.
Attach the earth terminal
4
directly to the
work piece or to the pad on which the work
piece is placed.
Note: Ensure direct contact to the work piece.
Thus avoid painted surfaces and / or insulation.
Note: Always use the welding shield
7
whilst
welding. It protects the eyes from the light beam
emitted by the arc, yet allows for a clear view
of the work piece.
