ATTENTION!
„
During the operation of the welder, other consumers may experience
problems with the voltage supply depending on the network condi-
tions at the connection point. In case of doubt, please contact your
energy supply company.
„
During the operation of the welder, other devices may malfunction,
e.g. hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, etc.

Potential hazards during electric arc welding
There are a series of potential hazards that can occur during electric
arc welding. It is therefore particularly important for the welder to
observe the following rules to avoid endangering him/herself and
others and to prevent damage to people and the device.
„
Work on the mains voltage side, e.g. on cables, plugs, sockets
etc., may only be carried out by qualified electricians according to
national and local regulations.
„
In the event of accidents, disconnect the welder from the mains
voltage immediately.
„
If electrical contact voltages occur, switch off the device immediately
and have it checked by a qualified electrician.
„
Always ensure good electrical contacts on the welding current side.
„
Always wear insulating gloves on both hands during welding
work. These provide protection from electrical shocks (no-load
voltage of the welding current circuit), harmful radiations (heat and
UV radiation) and incandescent metal and splashes of slag.
„
Wear sturdy, insulating shoes. The shoes should also insulate when
exposed to moisture. Loafers are not suitable as falling incandescent
metal droplets can cause burns.
„
Wear suitable protective clothing, no synthetic garments.
„
Do not look into the arc without eye protection; only use a welding
mask with the prescribed protective glass as per DIN. In addition
to light and heat radiation, which can dazzle or cause burns, the
arc also emits UV radiation. Without suitable protection the invisible
ultraviolet radiation can cause very painful conjunctivitis which is
not apparent until several hours later. Furthermore, UV radiation
can cause burns with sunburn-like effects on unprotected parts of
the body.
„
Any persons in the vicinity of the electric arc or helpers must also
be informed of the dangers and be equipped with the necessary
protective equipment. If necessary, set up protective walls.
„
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air whilst welding, particularly
in small spaces, as welding produces smoke and harmful gases.
