WARNING

Various dangers of the work area!

Depending on the nature of the work area indirect dangers may oc-
cur! Please note the following references in order to avoid injuries:

Use an adaquate welding unit in the case of increased danger
by humid enviroment or humid wear and place the welding unit
beyond the dangerous area. Secure the welding unit by an RCD
(FI interruptor )

Use additional insulation against contact of electrical leads in
confined areas (distance of less than 2 meters).

Please remove additional equipment from the work area in order
to prevent stray current or burning of the safety line.

Secure gasbottles against overthrowing.

In work areas with a noise level > 80 db(A) please wear 
ear-protection.
