• Welding cables should be kept as short as possible. They must move along the floor
of the work area, in a side by side manner. Welding cables should not be wound in
any way.
• A magnetic field is generated on the machine during welding. This may cause the
machine to pull metal parts on to itself. To avoid this attraction, make sure that the
metal materials are at a safe distance or fixed. The operator must be insulated from
all these interconnected metal materials.
• In cases where the workpiece cannot be connected to the ground due to electrical
safety, or because of its size and position (for example, in building marine vessel
bodies or in steel construction manufacturing), a connection between the
workpiece and the grounding may reduce emissions in some cases, it should be kept
in mind that grounding of the workpiece may cause users to sustain injuries or
other electrical equipment in the environment to break down. In cases where
necessary, the workpiece and the grounding connection can be made as a direct
connection, but in some countries where direct connection is not permissible, the
connection can be established using appropriate capacity elements in accordance
with local regulations and ordinances.
• Screening and shielding of other devices and cables in the work area can prevent
aliasing effects.Screening of the entire welding area can be evaluated for some
specific applications.
The electrical current passing through any conductor generates zonal electric and
magnetic fields (EMF).
All welders must follow the following procedures to minimize the risk of exposure to
EMF from the welding circuit;
• In the name of reducing the magnetic field, the welding cables must be assembled
and secured as far as possible with the joining materials (tape, cable ties etc.).
• The welder's/worker's body and head should be kept as far away from the welding
machine and cables as possible,
• Welding and electric cables should not be wrapped around the body of the machine
in any way,
• The body of the machine should not get caught between the welding cables. The
source cables must be kept away from the body of the machine, both being placed
side by side,
• The return cable must be connected to the workpiece as close as possible to the
welded area,
• The welding machine should not rest against the power unit, ensconce on it and not
work too close to it,
• Welding work should not be performed when carrying the welding wire supply unit
or welding power unit.
EMF may also disrupt the operation of medical implants (materials placed inside the
body), such as pacemakers. Protective measures should be taken for people who carry
medical implants. For example, access limitation may be imposed for passers-by, or
individual risk assessments may be conducted for welders. Risk assessment should be
conducted and recommendations should be made by a medical professional for users
who carry medical implants.
• Do not expose the machine to rain, prevent the machine from splashing water or
pressurized steam.
• Choose the welding method and welding machine for the welding work you are to
perform.
• Select the welding current and/or voltage to match the material and thickness you are
going to weld.
• If you have to wait for a long time before you start your welding work, turn off the
machine after the fan has cooled it down. Our machines (our products) with smart fan
control will turn off on their own.
• This device is not domestic waste. It must be directed to recycling within the
framework of the European Union directive and national laws.
• Obtain information from your dealer and authorized persons about the waste
management of your used machines.
