Protect your eyes using the
appropriate protective glasses
(EN level 9-10), which are fas-
tened to the supplied
welding mask.
Wear gloves and dry protec-
tive clothing that are free of oil
and grease to
protect the skin from exposure
to ultraviolet radiation of the
arc.
Do not use the
welding power source
to defrost pipes.
Please note:
The light radiation emitted by
the electric arc can damage
eyes and cause burns to the
skin.
Arc welding creates sparks
and drops of melted metal.
The welded workpiece starts
to glow and remains hot for
a relatively long period.
Therefore, do not touch the
workpiece with bare hands.
Arc welding can cause
vapours to be release that
may be hazardous to health.
Be careful not to inhale these
vapours.
Protect yourself from the
harmful effects of the electric
arc and keep people that are
not involved in the work away
from the arc maintaining a
distance of at least 2 m.
ATTENTION!
During the operation of
the welding device, other
consumers may experience
problems with the voltage
supply depending on the
network conditions at the con-
nection point. In case of doubt,
please contact your energy
supply company.
During the operation of the
welding device, other devices
may malfunction, e.g. hearing
aids, cardiac pacemakers, etc.
