2. Safety information
Please note
Warning!
Use this equipment only for the purpose for which
it is designed, as described in these instructions:
Manual arc welding with coated electrodes.
Handling this system incorrectly may be hazar-
dous for persons, animals and property and may
result in burning buildings, electric shocks, eye
injuries, etc. The user of this system is responsible
for his/her own safety and for the safety of others.
Read these operating instructions and follow all
the information.
•
Repairs and/or maintenance work must be
left strictly to qualified personnel.
•
Only use the welding cables supplied
(H07RN-F 3x1.0 mm
2 / H01N2-D 1x10
mm 2 ).
•
Ensure that the equipment is looked after pro-
perly.
•
To ensure that sufficient air can be drawn in
through the ventilation slits, the equipment
should not be constricted or placed next to a
wall while it is operating. Make sure that the
equipment is correctly connected to the mains
supply (see 5.). Do not subject the mains lead
to any tensile stress. Unplug the equipment
before you change its position.
•
Check the condition of the welding cables,
the electrode holder and the earth terminals;
wear on the insulation and the live parts may
result in dangerous conditions and reduce the
quality of the welding work.
•
Arc welding generates sparks, molten metal
particles and smoke, so the following is requi-
red: Remove all inflammable substances and/
or materials from the working area.
•
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
•
Do not weld on tanks, vessels or pipes that
have contained inflammable liquids or gases.
Avoid all direct contact with the welding cir-
cuit; the idling voltage between the electrode
holder and the earth terminal may be dange-
rous.
•
Do not store or use the equipment in wet or
damp conditions or in the rain.
•
Protect your eyes with specially designed
goggles (DIN level 9-10), which you can
attach to the supplied welding screen. Wear
gloves and dry safety clothing that are not
contaminated by any oil or grease to ensure
that your skin is not exposed to ultraviolet ra-
diation from the arc.
•
Do not use this welder to defrost pipes.
•
Make sure that the equipment is set up so it
stands firmly. If the equipment is set up on an
angled surface, it may need to be secured by
tying or blocking the wheels.
Hazard!
•
The radiation from the arc can damage your
eyes and cause burns on skin.
•
Arc welding generates sparks and droplets
of molten metal; the welded workpiece may
start to glow and will remain very hot for a
relatively long period of time. Never touch the
workpiece with bare hands.
•
Arc welding releases vapors that may be
harmful. Every electric shock is potentially
fatal.
•
Do not approach the arc within a radius of 15
m unprotected.
•
Protect yourself (and others around you)
against the possible hazardous effects of the
arc.
•
Warning: depending on the mains connection
conditions at the connection point of the wel-
ding set, other consumers connected to the
mains may suffer faults.
