Never use the welding shield without protective
glass, as the optics can otherwise be damaged.
Replace the protective glass early to ensure
good visibility and fatigue-proof working.
Tight and moist spaces
When working in tight, moist or hot spaces, use
insulating pads and intermediate layers in ad-
dition to gauntlet gloves made from leather or
other insulating materials to insulate the body
from earth.
When using welding equipment in electrically
dangerous conditions, e.g. in tight spaces from
conductive walls (kettles, pipes, etc.), in wet
spaces (soaking of work clothes), the output
voltages of the welding equipment may not be
higher than 48 Volts (rms value) in open loop.
Based on the output voltage this welding
equipment may be used in these conditions.
Protective clothing
Whilst working the welder must be protected
against rays and burns all over the body with
the appropriate clothing and face protection.
Remember the following steps:
- Put on protective clothing before welding.
- Put on gloves.
- Open windows or vent to ensure air supply.
- Wear safety goggles and a mask.
Wear gauntlet gloves made from suitable ma-
terial (leather) on both hands. These must be in
good condition.
Wear suitable aprons to protect the clothing
from sparks and burns. When required based
on the working method, e.g. welding overhead,
wear a protective suit and, if necessary, a head
guard.
Protecting against
rays and burns
Mark the work area with a sign „Danger! Do
not look into flames!“ to indicate the risk to the
eyes. If possible, shield the work areas to protect
persons nearby. Keep unauthorised persons
away from the welding area.
Walls in the direct vicinity of fixed work areas
should be neither light coloured nor glossy.
Protect windows against rays passing through
or reflecting at a minimum to head height, e.g.
with suitable paint.
Assembling the welding shield
Attach the handle 9 to the welding shield 8
as shown in Fig. B.
Install the protective glass 10 to the welding
shield 8 as shown in Fig. B.
Preparing to weld
Note: When activating the power verify the
current indicator moves and the lead screw is not
jammed.
Note: Verify the retaining screw on the electrode
holder
6 and the earth terminal 4 are secured
before every use If necessary, tighten with a cross-
tip screwdriver.
Note: If the tensioning force of the electrode
holder
6 and the earth terminal 4 subsides,
replace immediately.
Connect the electric cables.
Set the ON/OFF switch 2 to the „ON“ posi-
tion. The current indicator will light up when
operation starts.
To end operation, set the ON/OFF switch 2
to the auf „OFF“ position.
Note: The yellow indicator light 7 lighting
up indicates overheating. The electric circuit will
automatically be broken. Operation will end.
Attach the earth terminal 4 directly to the
work piece or to the pad on which the work
piece is placed.
Note: Ensure direct contact to the work piece.
Thus avoid painted surfaces and/or insulation.
Note: Always use the welding shield 8
whilst welding. It protects the eyes from the
