Overloaded supply networks and circuits may lead
to faults for other users during the welding process.
In case of doubt, the electricity company must be
consulted.
Only connect the flux cored electrode welding device
to a socket which is easily accessible so that you can
quickly disconnect it from the power grid in the event
of a fault.
Check the cable and/or socket for damages before
the appliance putting into operation.
Cables must always be fully unwound in order to
prevent the hazard posed by increased electroma-
gnetic fields.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock. Lay the power cable so that it does not
become a trip hazard.
Do not operate the flux cored electrode welding
device if it has any visible damage or the power cable
and/or mains plug is defective.
Do not bend the power cable.
Protect all cables against oil, sharp edges and high
temperatures.
Defective cable or plug may cause electric shock.
Do not pull the service cable to pull the plug out of
socket.
The power supply cable is a high-quality cable which
must not be damaged. When carrying out your work,
ensure that you do not contact the cable with hot
objects. If the connection cable is damaged, this
must be replaced with a special connection cable
which can be obtained from the manufacturer or its
customer service department.
The connection cable may only be replaced by the
manufacturer or its customer service department or
individuals with similar qualifications.
Safety instructions for welding devices
WARNING! Risk of fire! Improper handling
may lead to serious fires or injuries!
IP21S protection degree of the welder. The welder
must not be exposed to rain and moisture when
being operated or stored.
Check the voltage. Technical data given on the type
label must correspond with electric network voltage.
Ensure the welding cable, tip, burner and earth
terminal are in excellent condition. Any wear to the
insulation and the live parts may create a dangerous
situation and reduce the quality of the welding work.
The use of this device may lead to wear on certain
parts. Therefore, it is important to check the device for
any damage and defects on a regular basis.
Protect the flux cored electrode welding device
against moisture and only use it inside in dry condi-
tions.
Never immerse the flux cored electrode welding
device, the power cable or mains plug in water or any
other liquids.
Never touch the flux cored electrode welding device
or the mains plug with damp hands.
Ensure that you do not come into direct contact with
the welding circuit.
The no-load voltage between the contact tip and the
earth terminal may be dangerous.
Never insert sharp and/or metallic objects into the
device.
Do not expose yourself or other persons without pro-
tection to electric arc or hot metal. Spraying welding
pearls may cause burns.
A suitable welding shield, protective clothes and
protective gloves to be worn at all times.
Work with an exhaust system or in well ventilated
spaces.
Long-term inhalation of welding gases may be harm-
ful to your health.
Avoid direct inhalation of gases.
Ensure that there are no persons who are not wearing
protective clothing and eye protection within a range
of 15 m of the arc. Protect yourself and any persons
who are nearby against the possible hazards caused
by the arc!
WARNING! Risk of injury Improper
handling may lead to serious injuries!
Leave the cable assembly tip and workpiece to cool
down after operation.
Long-term working with the appliance may damage
hearing. Hearing protection to be used at all times.
Make sure the welding smoke is exhausted or the
place of welding ventilated well.
Caution! Risk of accidents due to splashing
slag particles
The slag becomes hard and brittle after it has soli-
dified. The slag hammer is then used to break the
slag up into small pieces with sharp edges, which
is associated with a risk of eye injuries.
Therefore, ensure that your eyes are protected
with suitable safety goggles when removing the
slag.
Burning slag and sparks may cause fires and explosi-
ons. The device must never be used in a flammable
environment.
