•
Use only the welding cables supplied (10 mm
2
rub-
ber-sheathed welding cables).
•
To ensure that sufficient air can be drawn in
through the ventilation slits, the appliance should
not be constricted or placed next to a wall
while it is operating. Make sure that the appli-
ance is correctly connected to the mains supply.
Do not subject the mains lead to any tensile stress.
Unplug the appliance before you change its position.
•
Check the condition of the welding cables, the elec-
trode tongs and the earth terminals; wear on the
insulation and the live parts may result in danger-
ous conditions and reduce the quality of the weld-
ing work.
•
Arc welding generates sparks, molten metal parti-
cles and smoke, so the following is required: Re-
move all inflammable substances and/or materials
from the working area.
•
Do not weld on tanks, vessels or pipes that have
contained inflammable liquids or gases. Avoid all
direct contact with the welding circuit; the idling
voltage between the electrode tongs and the earth
terminal may be dangerous.
•
Do not store or use the appliance in wet or damp
conditions or in the rain.
•
Protect your eyes with specially designed goggles
(DIN level 9-10). Wear gloves and dry safety cloth-
ing that are not contaminated by any oil or grease
to ensure that your skin is not exposed to ultravio-
let radiation from the arc. Do not use this welder
to defrost pipes
Remember.
•
The radiation from the arc can damage your eyes
and cause burns on skin.
•
Arc welding generates sparks and droplets of
molten metal; the welded workpiece may start to
glow and will remain very hot for a relatively long
period of time.
•
Arc welding releases vapors that may be harmful.
Every electric shock is potentially fatal.
•
Do not approach the arc within a radius of 15 m
unprotected.
•
Protect yourself (and others around you) against
the possible hazardous effects of the arc.
•
Warning: Depending on the mains connection con-
ditions at the connection point of the welding set,
other consumers connected to the mains may suf-
fer faults.
•
Important!
If the supply mains and circuits are overloaded,
other consumers may suffer interference during the
welding work. If you have any doubts, contact your
electricity supply company.
Sources of danger during arc welding
Arc welding results in a number of sources of danger.
It is therefore particularly important for the welder to
comply with the following rules so as not to place
himself or others in danger and to avoid endangering
people and equipment.
•
Use the appliance only in broad daylight or under
sufficient artificial lighting. Make sure no item caus
-
es short-circuit on appliance contacts.
•
Lay all cables in a manner to prevent risk of trip and
to eliminate cable damage!
•
Wear protective clothing suitable for the given envi-
ronment the whole time you work and take suitable
preventive measures to prevent accidents.
•
Extension cables to be used outdoors only. For
outdoor work, use extension cables adequately
marked and approved for that purpose.
•
Unplug the appliance
- before every cleaning
- after each use
•
Persons unable to operate the appliance due to
their physical, sensory or mental abilities or their
inexperience or lack of knowledge must not oper-
ate it.
•
If the appliance, feeder cable or steel cable show
any sign of visible damage the appliance must not
be put into operation.
•
If the feeder cable of the appliance is damaged it
needs to be replaced by the producer or an elec-
trician.
•
Repairs of the appliance can only be executed by
an electrician. There might be significant risks as
a result of unauthorised repairs.
•
The same regulations apply for accessories.
Additional safety instructions for welding set
•
Always wear gloves of insulation fabric.
•
Wear suitable clothing, avoid any clothing of syn-
thetic material.
•
Wear heavy-duty insulating shoes.
•
Make sure that working area is properly ventilated
to prevent accumulation of harmful fumes and toxic
smoke
•
Never work in wet places without efficient safety
measures against electrical discharges
•
After the work, the electrode has to be taken from
the electrode tongs to prevent undesired arc for-
mation.
•
The welding machine should not be used or stored in
rain.
•
If the unit is in operation, the electrode tongs should
not be put on the unit or other electric appliances
as the safety device may get damaged or discon-
nected when grounded.
•
Do not touch the electrode or another metal ob-
ject in contact with the electrode while welding is
in progress
•
Check that all cables are coated (mainly the con-
tacts with the power cable). The cables with insuf-
ficient insulation should be immediately replaced
with the same size cables meeting the regula-
tions. Disconnect the unit from the source where
not used.
•
The unit may influence supply of other units ac
-
cording to characteristics of the mains. Seek advice
from an authority responsible for the power supply
whenever in doubt.
