Extension Cable; Preparation For Welding - Leister GEOSTAR G5 Instructions D'utilisation

Work environment /Safety
The device should only be used in the open or in a well-ventilated area. Be careful not to burn the material during
welding.
Read and follow the safety precautions provided by the manufacturer for the material.
Prior to commissioning, check the power cord (1), the plug and the extension cable for
electrical and mechanical damage. Use extension cables with protective ground connec-
tions only!
The wedge welder may not be used in areas with explosion and/or ignition hazards.
Ensure a stable position during work. The power cord (1) must be able to move freely and
may not hinder the user or third parties while working.
Place the wedge welder on a horizontal, fireproof support and ensure sufficient distance
from flammable materials and explosive gases!
The wedge welder can be placed in three different positions during interruptions in work or for cooling down. The
clamping lever must be locked while doing so.

Extension cable

• A minimum cross-section must be observed with extension
cables are used.
• The extension cable must be authorized for the utilization site
(e.g. outdoors) and be marked accordingly.
• When a power plant is used as an energy supply, the following
applies for its nominal output: 2 × nominal output of the wedge
welder and fi tted with FI switch.
• Power plant must be grounded.

Preparation for welding
