2 Safety
2.3 Classification of the warnings
The warnings used in the operating instructions are divided into four different levels and shown prior to
potentially dangerous work steps. Arranged in descending order of importance, they have the following
meanings:
Describes an imminent threatening danger. If not avoided, this will result in fatal or extremely critical
injuries.
Describes a potentially dangerous situation. If not avoided, this may result in serious injuries.
Describes a potentially harmful situation. If not avoided, this may result in slight or minor injuries.
NOTICE
Describes the risk of impairing work results or potential material damage to the equipment.
2.4 Special Warnings for Operation
The discharging of charged objects and electrostatic discharges from individuals do not normally result in
injuries.
Regardless of the energy of the discharge, there may nevertheless be a risk of accidents due to startled
reactions.
Personal injury and property damage from electrostatic charge
During the ignition process and when welding, the surroundings and individuals may become
electrostatically charged. When earthed objects or devices are touched, this built-up voltage is
discharged. Electrostatic discharge occurs.
• Do not touch any metal parts in or on the device during the ignition phase.
• Connect the ABIDRIVE only to properly earthed power sockets.
• Operate the ABIDRIVE only with an intact connection lead with a protective conductor and safety
• Only place the welding torch on insulated materials when it is in use.
Personal injuries and material damage
Risk of shock from touching metal parts and the electrostatic discharge created by them.
• Protect yourself against falling before working on platforms, ladders or scaffolding.
• When welding, use the ground cable and welding torch as intended and do not use them for other
• Do not use any ground cables or welding torches with damaged insulation.
• Do not touch any live parts with your bare skin.
