MIG-160ERS
Before welding, always make sure that all regulations and instructions for safe work are met.
When welding by MIG / MAG process, the noise can be higher than 85db (A), so the worker must
wear non-flammable earmuffs during welding.
Welding produces strong UV rays that can burn uncovered parts of the body.
The protective glass on the mask should be numbered 9-15 according to DIN 4647.
Do not look into the electric arc during welding, as there is a risk of instantaneous glare.
Only weld when there is another person nearby who can give you first aid in case of injury.
PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE!
In the rooms where we weld, it must be sufficiently airy, suction is desirable. Ventilation device to
protect against particles must be available during welding. Toxic gases are formed especially when we
weld material that is galvanically coated with other metals or materials with detergent residues. Do not
weld closed containers containing flammable liquids (petrol, oil, varnishes...) as there is a high risk of
explosion!
FIRE HAZARD
Follow these instructions:
 Remove combustible materials within 5m of the welding site
Cover openings, cracks, and other objects that can trap sparks

Keep fire extinguishers nearby

After welding, inspect the welding area again

 Do not weld on containers with flammable liquids
Shielding gas cylinders must be protected against mechanical damage and excessive heat (max. 50 C).
cylinders must also be protected from frost.
DANGERS OF ELECTRIC CURRENT
The device can only be connected to the mains with a shielded connection cable. The fuse must be of
the same power as specified in the technical data of the device. The fuse design must be slow.
Replace damaged torch parts, cable ground, or damaged mains connector immediately. Replacement
of parts on the network, replacement of the connecting cable can only be performed by an authorized
person. Never hold the burner under your arm or otherwise wrapped around your body. In the event of
prolonged work interruptions, switch off the appliance and close the shielding gas supply.
In the event of an accident, immediately pull out the plug of the connecting cable!
