Safety instructions
During use the equipment should
not be located directly against a
wall, be covered, or be jammed
between other equipment to en-
sure ample air can be taken in
through the ventilation louvres.
Verify the equipment is correctly
connected to the mains voltage.
Avoid any tensile load on the
mains. Unplug the mains plug
from the socket before transfer-
ring the equipment to a different
location.
Always switch the equipment off
with the ON / OFF switch when
not in use. Set the electrode
holder down on an insulated
pad and allow to cool for
15 minutes before removing the
electrodes from the holder.
Pay attention to the condition of
the welding cables, the electrode
holders and the earth terminals.
Worn insulation and conducting
parts can produce hazards and
reduce the welding quality.
Arc welding produces sparks,
melted metal parts and smoke.
Therefore note: Remove any
flammable substances and / or
materials from the work area
and its immediate surroundings.
Ensure the work area is ventilated.
Do not weld atop containers, re-
ceptacles or pipes, which do or
did contain flammable liquids or
gasses.
Avoid any
direct contact with the welding
circuit. The no-load voltage be-
tween the electrode holder and
earth terminal can be danger-
ous, there is a risk of electric
shock.
Do not store or use the equipment
in a moist or wet environment or
in the rain. The Protection Provision
IP21S applies in this respect.
Protect the eyes with the appro-
priate safety glass (DIN Grad
9-10) to be installed in the
included welding shield. Use
gloves and dry protective cloth-
ing free from oil and grease to
protect the skin from ultraviolet
rays and the arc.
Do not use the
welding power source to thaw
pipes.
Remember:
The arc ray can damage the
eyes and cause burns to the skin.
Arc welding produces sparks and
drops of molten metal, the welded
work piece begins to glow and
remains very hot for a relatively
