Safety instructions
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 neither
light coloured nor glossy.
Protect windows against rays
passing through or reflecting at
a minimum to head height, e.g.
with suitable paint.
EMC Device Classification
This is a welding unit with Class A
electromagnetic compatibility in ac-
cordance with the IEC 60974-10
standard. Therefore, it fulfils the ap-
plicable requirements for industrial
and domestic use. It may be con-
nected to the public low voltage
electricity supply in residential areas.
Even when the flux-cored arc weld-
ing unit complies with standardized
emission thresholds, electric arc
welding units may cause electro-
magnetic interference in sensitive
systems and devices.
The user is responsible and must
undertake the appropriate safety
measures for interference which
results from arcs during the welding
process. In doing so, the user must
take the following into account in
particular:
- Power, control, signal and tele-
communications cables
- Computers and other microproces-
sor-controlled devices
- Televisions, radios and other play-
back devices
- Electronic and electric safety
equipment
- People with pacemakers or hearing
aids
- Measuring devices and calibration
devices
- Interference immunity of other
devices in the vicinity
- The time of day during which
welding work is being carried out.
To reduce potential interference
radiation, it is recommended that
you:
- Equip the mains connection with a
mains filter or shield it with a metal
pipe
- Regularly perform maintenance
work on the flux-cored arc welding
unit and keep it in good condition
- Weld cables should be as short
as possible, fully unwound and
run as parallel on the ground as
possible
- Potential equalization should be
provided
