CAUTION
Electromagnetic fields!
The power source may cause electrical or electromagnetic fields to be produced which
could affect the correct functioning of electronic equipment such as IT or CNC devices,
telecommunication lines, power cables, signal lines and pacemakers.
• Observe the maintenance instructions
> see 6.3 chapter
!
• Unwind welding leads completely!
• Shield devices or equipment sensitive to radiation accordingly!
• The correct functioning of pacemakers may be affected (obtain advice from a doctor if
necessary).
Obligations of the operator!
The respective national directives and laws must be complied with when operating the machine!
• Implementation of national legislation relating to framework directive 89/391/EEC on the
introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at
work and associated individual guidelines.
• In particular, directive 89/655/EEC concerning the minimum safety and health requirements for
the use of work equipment by workers at work.
• The regulations applicable to occupational safety and accident prevention in the country
concerned.
• Setting up and operating the machine as per IEC 60974.-9.
• Brief the user on safety-conscious work practices on a regular basis.
• Regularly inspect the machine as per IEC 60974.-4.
The manufacturer's warranty becomes void if non-genuine parts are used!
• Only use system components and options (power sources, welding torches, electrode
holders, remote controls, spare parts and replacement parts, etc.) from our range of products!
• Only insert and lock accessory components into the relevant connection socket when the
machine is switched off.
Requirements for connection to the public mains network
High-performance machines can influence the mains quality by taking current from the mains
network. For some types of machines, connection restrictions or requirements relating to the
maximum possible line impedance or the necessary minimum supply capacity at the interface
with the public network (Point of Common Coupling, PCC) can therefore apply. In this respect,
attention is also drawn to the machines' technical data. In this case, it is the responsibility of the
operator, where necessary in consultation with the mains network operator, to ensure that the
machine can be connected.
