5. Service
a.
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
6. Recommendation
We recommend that the tool always be supplied via
residual current device with a rated residual current of
30 mA or less.
Important!
When using equipment, a few safety precautions must
be observed to avoid injuries and damage. Please read
the complete operating manual with due care. Keep
this manual in a safe place, so that the information is
available at all times. If you give the equipment to any
other person, give them these operating instructions
as well. We accept no liability for damage or accidents
which arise due to non-observance of these instructions
and the safety information.

4. Important information
Please read the directions for use carefully and observe
the information provided. It is important to consult
these instructions in order to acquaint yourself with the
machine, its proper use and safety precautions.
Important!
Only use this appliance for the purpose for which it is
designed and as described in these instructions:
Manual arc welding with coated electrodes.
Handling this system incorrectly may be hazardous for
persons, animals and property. The user of this system
is responsible for his/her own safety and for the safety
of others.
Read these operating instructions and follow all the
regulations.
•
Repairs and/or maintenance work may only be
carried out by qualified personnel.
•
Use only the power cables and welding cables
supplied.
•
Ensure that the appliance is looked after properly.
•
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 appliance is
correctly connected to the mains supply (see 5).
•
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
electrode tongs and the earth terminals (-); wear
on the insulation and the live parts may result in
dangerous conditions and reduce the quality of the
welding work.
•
Arc welding generates sparks, molten metal
particles and smoke, so the following is required:
•
Remove all inflammable substances and/or
materials from the working area.
•
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
•
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), which you can attach to the
supplied safety shield. Wear gloves and dry safety
clothing that are not contaminated by any oil or
grease to ensure that your skin is not exposed to
ultraviolet radiation from the arc.
Note!
•
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
conditions at the connection point of the welding
set, other appliances connected to the mains may
suffer faults.
Important!
If the supply mains and circuits are overloaded, other
appliances may suffer interference during the welding
work. If you have any doubts, contact your electricity
supply company.
