5. Safety information

WARNING! Read
m
instructions, illustrations
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Always observe
m ATTENTION!
Only use the device as per its suitability, which is listed
in these instructions.
Improper handling of this system can be dangerous
for persons, animals and property. The system user
is responsible for their own safety and that of other
persons:
• Always read these usage instructions and observe
the regulations.
• Repairs and/or maintenance work may only be
carried out by qualified persons.
• Only the welding cables included in the scope
of delivery or accessories recommended by the
manufacturer may be used.
• Ensure that the device is looked after appropriately
• The device must not be constrained or stood directly
against the wall during its functional life so that
sufficient air can always be taken in through the
opening slits. Make sure that the device is connected
properly to the mains. Avoid any tensile stress on the
mains cable. Unplug the device before setting it up
in another location.
• Pay attention to the condition of the welding cable,
the electrode holder and the earth clamp, wear on
the insulation or on the parts carrying the electrical
power can lead to a hazardous situation and reduce
the quality of the welding work.

• Arc welding creates sparks, melted metal parts and
smoke, therefore observe the following: Remove all
flammable substances and/or materials from the
workplace.
• Make sure that there is a sufficient air supply
available.
• Do not weld on containers, vessels or pipes that
have contained flammable liquids or gases. Avoid
direct contact with the welding circuit. The off-load
voltage arising between the electrode holder and
the earthing clamp can be dangerous.
• Do not store or use the device in a damp or wet
environment or in the rain
• Protect your eyes with specially designed protective
glass (DIN grade 9-10). Use gloves and dry
protective clothing that is free from oil and grease
so that the skin is not exposed to the ultraviolet rays
from the arc.
• Do not use the welding machine to thaw pipes.
Note!
• The light rays from the arc can damage the eyes and
cause burns to the skin.
• Arc welding creates sparks and droplets of melted
metal, the welded work piece begins to smoulder
and remains very hot for a relatively long time.
• Arc welding releases vapours that are potentially
harmful. Any electric shock can be potentially fatal.
• Do not come within 15 m of the arc.
• Protect yourself (and bystanders) in the vicinity from
the potentially hazardous effects of the electric arc.
• Warning: Depending on the conditions of the
mains power connection at the welding machine
connection point, this can lead to disturbances in
the mains for other consumers.
Attention!
Overloaded mains supplies and circuits can cause
disturbances for other consumers while welding.
In case of doubt, the electricity supplier is to be
consulted.
Sources of danger when arc welding
A series of hazard sources can arise when arc welding.
It is therefore particularly important for the welder to
observe the following rules in order not to endanger
themselves and others and to avoid injuring persons
and damaging the device.
