For Your Safety:
Warning: Observe accident prevention regulations!
Ignoring the following safety procedures can be fatal.
•
Before undertaking welding tasks, put on prescribed dry protective clothing, e.g. gloves.
•
Protect eyes and face with protective visor.
Electric shocks can be fatal
•
The machine may only be connected to correctly earthed sockets.
•
Only operate with intact connection lead including protective conductor and safety plug.
•
An improperly repaired plug or damaged mains cable insulation can cause electric shocks.
•
The machine may only be opened by qualified and authorised personnel.
•
Before opening, pull out the mains plug. Switching off is not sufficient. Wait for 2 minutes
until capacitors are discharged.
•
Always put down welding torch, stick electrode holder in an insulated condition.
Even touching low voltages can cause you to jump and lead to accidents, so:
•
Secure yourself from falls before working on platforms or scaffolding.
•
When welding, operate handle earth tongs, torch and workpiece properly, not in ways for
which they are not intended. Do not touch live parts with bare skin.

which they are not intended. Do not touch live parts with bare skin.
•
Never use torches or earth cables with damaged insulation.
Smoke and gases can lead to breathing difficulties and poisoning.
•
Do not breathe in smoke and gases.
•
Ensure that there is sufficient fresh air.
•
Keep solvent vapours away from the arc radiation area. Chlorinated hydrocarbon fumes can
be converted into poisonous phosgene by ultraviolet radiation.
Workpiece, flying sparks and droplets are hot
•
Keep children and animals well away from the working area. Their behaviour is unpredictable.
•
Move containers with inflammable or explosive liquids away from the working area.
There is a danger of fire and explosion.
•
Never heat explosive liquids, dust or gases by welding or cutting. There is also a danger of
explosions when apparently harmless substances develop high pressures in enclosed
containers by heating.
Take care to avoid fire hazards
•
Any kind of fire hazards must be avoided. Flames can form e.g. when sparks are flying, when
parts are glowing or hot slag is present.
•
A constant check must be kept on whether fire hazards have been created in the working area.
•
Highly inflammable objects, such as matches and cigarette lighters for example, must not be
carried in trouser pockets.
•
You must ensure that fire extinguishing equipment - appropriate to the welding process - is
available close to the welding work area and that easy access is possible.
