Safety information spe-
cific to the welding mask
Using a bright light source
(e.g. lighter) always check
the welding mask is working
properly before starting to weld.
Welding splashes can
damage the glass shield.
Replace damaged or scratched
glass shields immediately.
Promptly replace damaged
or heavily soiled or splashed
components.
The equipment may only be
operated by persons who have
turned 16.
Familiarise yourself with the

when welding.
Never use the welding mask
without protective glass,
as the optics can otherwise be
damaged. There is a risk of
damage to the eyes.
Replace the protective glass
in good time to ensure good
visibility and fatigue-proof
working.

When working in tight, moist
or hot spaces, use insulating
pads and intermediate layers
in addition to gauntlet gloves
made of leather or a different
insulating materials to insulate
the body from earth.
When using welding devices
in environments with increased
electrical risks, e.g. confined
spaces with electrically con-
