Repairs and/or maintenance work may only be
carried out by qualified personnel.
Use only the power cables and welding cables
supplied. (16 mm
cables)
Ensure that the appliance is looked after properly.
To ensure that sufficient air can be drawn in
through the ventilation slits, the appliance should
not be constricted or placed next to a wall while it
is operating. Make sure that the appliance is
correctly connected to the mains supply (see 6.).
Do not subject the mains lead to any tensile
stress. Unplug the appliance before you change
its position.
Check the condition of the welding cables, the
electrode tongs and the earth terminals (-); wear
on the insulation and the live parts may result in
dangerous conditions and reduce the quality of
the welding work.
Arc welding generates sparks, molten metal
particles and smoke, so the following is required:
Remove all inflammable substances and/or
materials from the working area.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
Do not weld on tanks, vessels or pipes that have
contained inflammable liquids or gases. Avoid all
direct contact with the welding circuit; the idling
voltage between the electrode tongs and the earth
terminal (-) may be dangerous.
Do not store or use the appliance in wet or damp
conditions or in the rain.
Protect your eyes with specially designed goggles
(DIN level 9-10), which you can attach to the
supplied safety shield. Wear gloves and dry safety
clothing that are not contaminated by any oil or
grease to ensure that your skin is not exposed to
ultraviolet radiation from the arc.
Do not use this welder to defrost pipes
Remember.
The radiation from the arc can damage your eyes
and cause burns on skin.
Arc welding generates sparks and droplets of
molten metal; the welded workpiece may start to
glow and will remain very hot for a relatively long
period of time.
Arc welding releases vapors that may be harmful.
Every electric shock is potentially fatal.
Do not approach the arc within a radius of 15 m
unprotected.
Protect yourself (and others around you) against
the possible hazardous effects of the arc.
Warning: Depending on the mains connection
conditions at the connection point of the welding
set, other consumers connected to the mains may
suffer faults.
