Please note:
The light radiation emitted by the arc can damage eyes and cause

burns to the skin.
Arc welding creates sparks and drops of melted metal. The welded

workpiece starts to glow and remains hot for a relatively long
period. Therefore, do not touch the workpiece with bare hands.
Arc welding can cause vapours to be released that may be hazardous

to health. Be careful not to inhale these vapours.
Protect yourself from the harmful effects of the arc and keep people

that are not involved in the work away from the arc maintaining a
distance of at least 2 m.
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 voltage side, e.g. on cables, plugs, sockets etc.,

may only be carried out by qualifi ed 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 qualifi ed 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.
