and heat radiation, which
can dazzle or cause burns,
the electric arc also emits UV
radiation. Without suitable
protection the invisible ultravi-
olet radiation can cause very
painful conjunctivitis which
is not apparent until several
hours later. Furthermore, UV
radiation can cause burns sun-
burn-like effects on unprotected
parts of the body.
Any persons in the vicinity of

the electric arc or helpers must
also be informed of the dan-
gers and be equipped with
the necessary protective
equipment. If necessary,
set up protective walls.
Ensure an adequate supply

of fresh air whilst welding,
particularly in small spaces,
as it produces smoke and
harmful gases.
No welding work may be

carried out on containers
that have been used for stor-
ing 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

rooms where there is a risk
of fi re or explosion.
Welded joints that are subject

to heavy stress loads and are
required to comply with certain
safety requirements may only
be carried out by specially
trained and certifi ed 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! 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 protective bond-
ing system of the room you are
welding.
Do not use the welding device

in the rain.
Only place the welding device

on a level surface.
The output is rated at an ambi-

ent temperature of 20 °C. The
welding time may be reduced
in higher temperatures.
