Risk Of Electric Shock - Parkside PESG 120 B4 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Safety instructions
If necessary, set up protective
walls.
Ensure an adequate supply
„ z
of fresh air whilst welding,
particularly in small spaces, as
it produces smoke and harmful
gases.
No welding work may be
„ z
carried out on containers that
have been used for storing
gases, fuels, mineral oils or
similar – even if they have been
empty for a long time – as
possible residues may present
a risk of explosion.
Special regulations apply in
„ z
rooms where there is a risk of
fire or explosion.
Welded joints that are subject
„ z
to heavy stress loads and are
required to comply with certain
safety requirements may only
be carried out by specially
trained and certified welders.
Examples of this are pressure
vessels, running rails, tow
bars, etc.
ATTENTION! Always connect
the earth terminal as close as
possible to the point of weld to
provide the shortest possible
path for the welding current
from the electrode to the earth
terminal. Never connect the
earth terminal to the housing
of the welding device!
12 GB
Never connect the earth
terminal to earthed parts far
away from the workpiece,
e.g. a water pipe in another
corner of the room. This could
otherwise damage the protec-
tive bonding system of the room
you are welding.
Do not use the welding device
„ z
in the rain.
Do not use the welding device
„ z
in a moist environment.
Only place the welding device
„ z
on a level surface.
The outlet is measured at an
„ z
ambient temperature of 20 °C
and welding time can be
reduced in the event of higher
temperatures.

Risk of electric shock:

Electric shock from the
welding electrode can be
fatal. Do not weld in rain or snow.
Wear dry insulating gloves.
Do not touch the electrodes with
bare hands. Do not wear wet or
damaged gloves. Protect yourself
from electric shock with insulation
against the workpiece. Do not open
the device housing.
Danger from welding fumes:
Inhalation of welding fumes can
endanger health. Do not keep
