DANGER
Risk of injury from electric shock!
Contact with live parts, e.g. welding current sockets, is potentially fatal!
• Follow safety instructions on the opening pages of the operating instructions.
• Commissioning may only be carried out by persons who have the relevant expertise of
working with arc welding machines!
• Connection and welding leads (e.g. electrode holder, welding torch, workpiece lead,
interfaces) may only be connected when the machine is switched off!
CAUTION
Risk of burns on the welding current connection!
If the welding current connections are not locked, connections and leads heat up and can
cause burns, if touched!
• Check the welding current connections every day and lock by turning in clockwise direction, if
necessary.
Risk from electrical current!
If welding is carried out alternately using different methods and if a welding torch and an
electrode holder remain connected to the machine, the open-circuit/welding voltage is
applied simultaneously on all cables.
• The torch and the electrode holder should therefore always be placed on an insulated
surface before starting work and during breaks.
CAUTION
Using protective dust caps!
Protective dust caps protect the connection sockets and therefore the machine against
dirt and damage.
• The protective dust cap must be fitted if there is no accessory component being operated on
that connection.
• The cap must be replaced if faulty or if lost!
