3. SAFETY OF USE
ATTENTION! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury or death.
3.1. GENERAL NOTES
•
Take care of your own safety and the one of third
parties by reading and strictly following the
instructions, included in the operating manual of the
device.
•
Only qualified and skilled personnel can be allowed
to start, operate, maintain and repair the machine.
•
The machine must never be operated contrary to its
intended purpose.
3.2. PREPARATION OF WELDING WORK SITE
WELDING
OPERATIONS
MAY
CAUSE
EXPLOSION!
•
Strictly follow the occupational health and safety
regulations applicable to welding operations and
make sure to provide appropriate fire extinguishers
at the welding work site.
•
Never carry out welding operations in flammable
places that pose the risk of material ignition.
•
Never carry out welding operations in an atmosphere
containing flammable particles or vapours of
explosive substances.
•
Remove all flammable materials within 12 meters
from the welding operations site and if removal is
not possible, cover flammable materials with fire
retardant covering.
•
Use safety measures against sparks and glowing
metal particles.
•
Make sure that sparks or hot metal splinters do
not penetrate through the slots or openings in the
coverings, shields or protective screens.
•
Do not weld tanks or barrels that contain or have
contained flammable substances. Do not weld in the
vicinity of such containers and barrels.
•
Do not weld pressure vessels, pipes of pressurised
installations or pressure trays.
•
Always ensure adequate ventilation.
•
It is recommended to take a stable position prior to
welding.
3.3. PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
ELECTRIC ARC RADIATION CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO
EYES AND SKIN!
•
When welding, wear clean, oil stain free protective
clothing
made
of
non-flammable
conductive materials (leather, thick cotton), leather
gloves, high boots and protective hood.
10
•
Before welding remove all flammable or explosive
items, such as propane butane lighters or matches.
•
Use facial protection (helmet or shield) and eye
protection, with a filter featuring a shade level
matching the sight of the welder and the welding
current. The safety standards suggest colouring
No. 9 (minimum No. 8) for each current below 300
A. A lower shield colouring can be used if the arc is
covered by the workpiece.
•
Always use approved safety glasses with side
protection under the helmet or any other cover.
•
Use guards for the welding operation sites in order
to protect other people from the blinding light
radiation or projections.
•
Always wear earplugs or another hearing protection
to protect against excessive noise and to avoid
spatter entering the ears.
•
Bystanders should be warned to not look at the arc.
3.4. PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN BE LETHAL!
•
The power cable must be connected to the nearest
socket and placed in a practical and secure position.
Positioning the cable negligently in the room and on
a surface which was not checked must be avoided, as
it can lead to electrocution or fire.
•
Touching electrically charged elements can cause
electrocution or serious burns.
FIRE
OR
•
The electrical arc and the working area are electrically
charged during the power flow.
•
The device's input circuit and inner power circuit are
also under voltage charge when the power supply
is turned on.
•
The elements under the voltage charge must not be
touched.
•
Dry, insulated gloves without any holes and
protective clothing must be worn at all times.
•
Insulation mats or other insulation layers, big enough
as not to allow for body contact with an object or the
floor, must be placed on the floor.
•
The electrical arc must not be touched.
•
Electrical power must be shut down prior to cleaning
or electrode replacement.
•
It must be checked if the earthing cable is properly
connected or the pin is correctly connected to the
earthed socket. Incorrectly connecting the earthing
can cause life or health hazard.
•
The power cables must be regularly checked for
damage or lack of insulation. Damaged cables must
be replaced. Negligent insulation repair can cause
death or serious injury.
•
The device must be turned off when it is not in use.
•
The cable mustn't be wrapped around the body.
•
A welded object must be properly grounded.
•
Only equipment in good condition can be used.
•
Damaged device elements must be repaired or
replaced. Safety belts must be used when working
at height.
•
All fittings and safety elements must be stored in
one place.
•
From the moment of turning on the release, the
and
non-
handle end must be kept away from the body.
•
The chassis ground must be mounted to the welded
element or as close to it as possible (e.g. to a work
table).
10 10
THE DEVICE CAN STILL BE UNDER VOLTAGE UPON
FEEDER DISCONNECTION!
•
The voltage in the input capacitor must be checked
upon turning off the device and disconnecting it
from the power source. One must make sure that the
voltage value is equal to zero. Otherwise, the device
elements must not be touched.
3.5.GASES AND FUMES
PLEASE NOTE! GAS MAY BE LETHAL OR DANGEROUS
TO HUMAN HEALTH!
•
Always keep a certain distance from the gas outlet
•
When welding, ensure good ventilation. Avoid
inhaling the gas.
•
Chemical substances (lubricants, solvents) must be
removed from the surfaces of welded objects as they
burn and emit toxic smokes under the influence of
temperature.
•
The welding of galvanised objects is permitted only
when efficient ventilation is provided with filtration
and access to fresh air. Zinc fumes are very toxic, an
intoxication symptom is the so-called zinc fever.
4. OPERATION
4.1. GENERAL NOTES
•
The device must be applied according to its purpose,
with observance of OHS regulations and restrictions
resulting from data included in the rating plate (IP
level, operation cycle, supply voltage, etc.).
•
The machine must not be opened as it will cause
warranty loss and, in addition, exploding. Unshielded
elements can cause serious injuries.
•
The producer does not bear any responsibility for
technical changes in the device or material losses
caused by the introduction of the said changes.
•
In case of incorrect device operation, contact the
service centre.
•
Louvers must not be shielded – the welder must
be positioned at 30 cm distance from the objects
surrounding it.
•
The welder must not be kept under your arm or near
your body.
•
The machine must not be installed in rooms with
aggressive environments, high dustiness and near
devices with high electromagnetic field emission.
4.2. DEVICE STORAGE
•
The machine must be protected against water and
moisture.
•
The welder must not be positioned on heated
surfaces.
•
The device must be stored in a dry and clean room.
4.3. CONNECTING THE DEVICE
4.3.1 Connecting the power
•
The connection of the device must be performed
by a qualified person. In addition, a person with
required qualifications should check if the earthing
or electrical installation with protection system is in
line with the safety regulations and if they operate
correctly.
•
The device must be placed near the work station.
•
Connecting excessively long conduits to the machine
must be avoided.
•
One-phase welders should be connected to the
socket fitted with an earthing prong.
EN
•
Welders powered from a 3-Phase network are
delivered without a plug, the plug must be obtained
independently and installation should be assigned to
a qualified person.
PLEASE NOTE! THE DEVICE MAY ONLY BE USED UPON
CONNECTION TO AN INSTALLMENT WITH A PROPERLY
FUNCTIONING FUSE.
