Repairs and/or maintenance
work must only be carried out
by qualified electricians.
Only use the welding cable
provided in the scope of
delivery.
During operation, the device
should not be positioned
directly on the wall, covered or
jammed between other devices
so that sufficient air can be
absorbed through the ventila-
tion slats. Make sure that the
device is correctly connected
to the supply voltage. Avoid
any form of tensile stress of
the power cable. Disconnect
the plug from the socket prior
to setting up the device in
another location.
If the device is not in opera-
tion, always switch it off by
pressing the ON/OFF switch.
Place the electrode holder on
an insulated surface and only
remove it from the holder after
allowing it to cool down for
15 minutes.
Pay attention to the condition
of the welding cable, torch
and the earth clamps. Wear
and tear of the insulation and
the live parts can lead to haz-
ards and reduce the quality of
the welding work.
Arc welding creates sparks,
molten metal parts and smoke.
Therefore ensure that:
All flammable
substances and/or materials
are removed from the work
station and its immediate
surrounding.
Ensure the work station is
ventilated.
Do not weld on containers,
vessels or tubes that contain or
contained flammable liquids or
gases.
Avoid any
form of direct contact with the
welding current circuit. The
no-load voltage between the
electrode holder and earth
terminal can be dangerous,
there is a risk of electric shock.
Do not store the device in
a damp or wet environment
or in the rain. Protection
rating IP21S is applicable
in this case.
Protect your eyes using the
appropriate protective glasses
(DIN level 9–10), which are
fastened to the supplied weld-
ing mask. Wear gloves and
dry protective clothing that
are free of oil and grease
to protect the skin from expo-
sure to ultraviolet radiation of
the arc.
