Technical Data – ARC WELDING FILTER
4
Proper Use of the PUK OPTIC DEVICE includes:
•
Observation of welding processes through the
optic device’s viewing window and workspace
lighting.
•
The PUK Optic Device may only be used in
combination with PUK- precision welding
equipment.
•
The PUK Optic Device may only be used when
properly connected.
•
Use for other than the proper purpose describe
is not permitted.
•
Use in outdoor areas is not permitted. Use only
in dry room areas!
INTRODUCTION
Arc welding without protective equipment is
dangerous and can lead to painful inflammation of
the cornea and to irreversible clouding of the eye
lens (cataracts). The PUK Optic Device with its
integrated LCD – welder view protection filter offers
reliable protection against these dangers and
permanently protects
against UV/IR rays, sparks
and splashes at both light and dark levels. The
filter’s protection levels are defined to avoid blinding
by the arc welding. The PUK Optic Device should
only be used in combination with a PUK spot
welding device. Shortly prior to lighting an arc, the
electronic component of the PUK spot welding
device switches the filter from the DIN 3 level to the
safer DIN 11 dark level. As soon as the arc is turned
off, the filter is switched back to the light setting.
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
•
Opening the device is permitted only by trained
experts. Before opening the device, remove the
plug and make sure that there is no electrical
current in the device. If you are uncertain, always
first ask an expert.
•
Remove the plug before exchanging the energy
saving light and only touch the light when it has
cooled down sufficiently. Only use energy saving
lights with a maximum output of 9 W.
•
It is illegal for non-electrical professionals to
handle parts which are directly connected to the
mains voltage, except in cases of using the
mains plug or the mains central switch.
•
During maintenance or repair work of the
electrical source, first separate the device from
the mains. In the case of more complex activity
where you must leave the work area – even for a
short time – you are also required to clearly
block the plug outlet.
•
If it is clear that there is some danger involved in
your activities, you must take the device out of
operation and also prevent unintentional
operation. It is clear that a dangerous situation is
at hand when:
o
the device shows visible damage, or
o
or when functional errors occur
o
the device no longer works properly.
