Meandering weld-
ing currents
During MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding, the welding wire, the wirespool,
the feed rollers and all pieces of metal that are in contact with the welding wire
are live.
Always set the wirefeeder up on a sufficiently insulated surface or use a suit-
able, insulated wirefeeder holder.
Make sure that you and others are protected with an adequately insulated, dry
temporary backing or cover for the earth or ground potential. This temporary
backing or cover must extend over the entire area between the body and the
earth or ground potential.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately
dimensioned. Replace loose connections and scorched, damaged or inade-
quately dimensioned cables and leads immediately.
Use the handle to ensure the power connections are tight before every use.
In the case of power cables with a bayonet connector, rotate the power cable
around the longitudinal axis by at least 180° and pre-load.
Do not wrap cables or leads around the body or parts of the body.
The electrode (rod electrode, tungsten electrode, welding wire, etc.) must
-
never be immersed in liquid for cooling
- Never touch the electrode when the power source is switched on.
Double the open circuit voltage of a power source can occur between the
welding electrodes of two power sources. Touching the potentials of both elec-
trodes at the same time may be fatal under certain circumstances.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician
to ensure the ground conductor is functioning properly.
The device must only be operated on a mains supply with a ground conductor
and a socket with a ground conductor contact.
Operating the device on a grid without a ground conductor and in a socket
without a ground conductor contact will be deemed gross negligence. The
manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
If necessary, provide an adequate earth connection for the workpiece.
Switch off unused devices.
Wear a safety harness if working at height.
Before working on the device, switch it off and pull out the mains plug.
Attach a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to the device to
prevent anyone from plugging the mains plug back in and switching it on
again.
After opening the device:
-
Discharge all live components
- Ensure that all components in the device are de-energised
If work on live parts is required, appoint a second person to switch off the main
switch at the right moment.
If the following instructions are ignored, meandering welding currents can de-
velop with the following consequences:
-
Fire hazard
- Overheating of parts connected to the workpiece
- Irreparable damage to ground conductors
- Damage to device and other electrical equipment
Ensure that the workpiece is held securely by the workpiece clamp.
Attach the workpiece clamp as close as possible to the area that is to be weld-
ed.
