Safety Instructions
2.1
Using the Correct Connection Terminal
Use the appropriate connection terminal that is compatible with the fitting type used. Be sure the
contact is firmly established and do not use connection terminals or terminal adapters that are
burnt or not designed for the intended use.
2.2
Improper Use of the Welding and Power Supply Cables
Do not carry the product by its cables and do not pull the power cord to unplug the unit from the
socket. Protect the cables against heat, oil, and cutting edges.
2.3
Securing the Fitting and the Joint
Use positioner clamps or a vice to secure the fitting and the joint to be made before welding. The
fitting manufacturer’s installation instructions, local and national regulations have to be respected
in all cases.
A welding process must never be repeated with the same fitting, since this may cause parts under
power to be accessible to the touch.

The product must not be sprayed with or immersed in water.

Opening the Unit
The cover of the product may be removed only by specialized staff of the

up to 20 m: 1,5 mm² (2,5 mm² recommended); Typ H07RN-F
over 20 m: 2,5 mm² (4,0 mm² recommended); Typ H07RN-F
