Risk Of Electric Shock - Parkside PTMI 180 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

No welding work may be 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 rooms where there is a risk of fire 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 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 welder!
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 bonding system of the
room you are welding.
Do not use the welder in the rain.
„
Do not use the welder in a moist environment.
„
Only place the welder on a level surface.
„
The output is rated at an ambient temperature of 20 °C.
„
The welding time can be reduced at higher temperatures.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

Electric shock from a 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
„
your head in the fumes. Use the equipment in open areas.
Use extractors to remove the fumes.
DANGER FROM WELDING SPARKS:
Welding sparks can cause an explosion or fire. Keep flammable
„
substances away from the welding location. Do not weld near
flammable substances. Welding sparks can cause fires.
Keep a fire extinguisher close by and an observer should be
present to be able to use it immediately. Do not weld on drums or
any other closed containers.
