radiation can cause burns with
sunburn-like effects on unpro-
tected parts of the body.
Any persons in the vicinity
of the electric arc or helpers
must also be informed of the
dangers and be equipped
with the necessary protective
equipment. If necessary, set up
protective walls.
Ensure an adequate supply
of fresh air whilst welding,
particularly in small spaces,
as it produces smoke and
harmful gases.
No welding work may be
carried out on containers that
have been used for storing
gases, fuels, mineral oils or
similar – even if they have
been empty for a long time
– as possible residues may
present a risk of explosion.
Special regulations apply in
rooms where there is a risk of
fire or explosion.
Welded joints that are subject
to heavy stress loads and are
required to comply with certain
safety requirements may only
be carried out by specially
trained and certified welders.
Examples of this are pressure
vessels, running rails, tow
bars, etc.
ATTENTION!
Always connect
the earth terminal as close as
possible to the point of weld to
provide the shortest possible path
for the welding current from the
electrode to the earth terminal.
Never connect the earth terminal
to the housing of the welding
device! Never connect the earth
terminal to earthed parts far
away from the workpiece, e.g. a
water pipe in another corner of
the room. This could otherwise
damage the protective bonding
system of the room you are
welding.
Do not use the welding device
in the rain.
Do not use the welding device
in a moist environment.
Only place the welding device
on a level surface.
The output is rated at an
ambient temperature of 20 °C.
The welding time can be
reduced at higher temperatures.
Risk of electric shock:
Electric shock from the
welding electrode can be
fatal. Do not weld in rain or
snow. Wear dry insulating
gloves. Do not touch the elec-
trodes with bare hands. Do not
wear wet or damaged gloves.
