Transport and installation
WARNING
Risk of accident due to improper transport of machines that must not be lifted!
Do not lift or suspend the machine! The machine can drop and cause injuries! The
handles, straps or brackets are suitable for transport by hand only!
• The machine must not be suspended or lifted using a crane.
5.1.1
Machine cooling
Insufficient ventilation results in a reduction in performance and equipment damage.
• Observe the ambient conditions!
• Keep the cooling air inlet and outlet clear!
• Observe the minimum distance of 0.5 m from obstacles!
5.1.2
Workpiece lead, general
CAUTION
Risk of burning due to incorrect welding current connection!
If the welding current plugs (machine connections) are not locked or if the workpiece
connection is contaminated (paint, corrosion), these connections and leads can heat up
and cause burns when touched!
• Check welding current connections on a daily basis and lock by turning to the right when
necessary.
• Clean workpiece connection thoroughly and secure properly. Do not use structural parts of
the workpiece as welding current return lead!
5.1.3
Ambient conditions
T he machine must not be operated in the open air and must only be set up and operated on a
suitable, stable and level base!
• The operator must ensure that the ground is non-slip and level, and provide sufficient lighting
for the place of work.
• Safe operation of the machine must be guaranteed at all times.
Equipment damage due to contamination!
Unusually high amounts of dust, acids, corrosive gases or substances can damage the machine
(observe maintenance intervals > see 6.3 chapter).
• Avoid large amounts of smoke, steam, oily fumes, grinding dust and corrosive ambient air!
