Only set up and operate the device in accordance with the degree of protection shown
on the rating plate.
When setting up the device, ensure there is an all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft. 7.69
in.) to ensure that cooling air can flow in and out freely.
When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guidelines and ac-
cident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines regarding the risks

Any safety devices that are not functioning properly must be repaired before switching on
the device.
Never bypass or disable safety devices.
Before switching on the device, ensure that no one is likely to be endangered.
Check the device at least once a week for obvious damage and proper functioning of
safety devices.
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air with a ventilation rate of at least 20 m³/hour.
Observe safety and maintenance instructions on the shielding gas cylinder or the
main gas supply.
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve or main gas supply if no welding is taking
place.
Check the shielding gas cylinder or main gas supply for uncontrolled gas leakage
before every start-up.
The maximum permissible tilt angle is 10°.
Observe relevant national and international regulations.
