Safety information

Please note
IMPORTANT
Use this equipment only for the purpose for which it is
designed, as described in these instructions.
Handling this system incorrectly may be hazardous
for persons, animals and property. The user of this
system is responsible for his/her own safety and for
the safety of others. Read these operating instruc-
tions and follow all the regulations.
• This device is not designed to be operated by per-
sons (including children) with impaired physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or who have insuf-
ficient experience and/or insufficient knowledge
unless they are being supervised by a person who
is responsible for their safety or they are receiving
instructions about how this device is to be used. It
is forbidden for children to use this device!
• Repairs and/or maintenance work must be left
strictly to qualified personnel.
• For your own safety, use only accessories and ad-
ditional equipment that are expressly cited in the
operating manual or have been recommended by
the manufacturer.
• Ensure that the appliance is looked after prop-
erly. To ensure that sufficient air can be drawn in
through the ventilation slits, the appliance should
not be constricted or placed next to a wall while it
is operating.
• Make sure that the appliance is correctly connect-
ed to the mains supply. Do not subject the mains
lead to any tensile stress.
• Unplug the appliance before you change its posi-
tion.
• Pay attention to the condition of the welding cable,
the contact tip, the burner and the earthing clamp.
Wear on the insulation or on the parts carrying the
electrical power can lead to a hazardous situation
and reduce the quality of the welding work.
• Arc welding generates sparks, molten metal par-
ticles and smoke, so the following is required: Re-
move 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 direct contact with the welding circuit. The
off-load voltage arising between the contact tip and
the earthing clamp can be dangerous.
• Do not store or use the appliance in wet or damp
conditions or in the rain.
• Protect your eyes with specially designed goggles
(DIN EN 166 & DIN EN 169 degree of protection
9-10). 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 radiation
from the arc.
• Do not use this welder to defrost pipes
• Always pay attention and watch what you are do-
ing. Never carry out work with this device if you are
distracted or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. Just a moment of carelessness
when using this device can result in serious acci-
dents and injuries.

Remember!
• 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.
• 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 con-
ditions at the connection point of the welding set,
other consumers connected to the mains may suf-
fer faults.
• Protect yourself and others in the vicinity from the
hazardous effects of the electric arc.
Important!
If the supply mains and circuits are overloaded, other
consumers may suffer interference during the weld-
ing work. If you have any doubts, contact your elec-
tricity supply company.
Sources of danger during arc welding
Arc welding results in a number of sources of dan-
ger. It is therefore particularly important for the welder
to comply with the following rules so as not to place
himself or others in danger and to avoid endangering
people and equipment.
• Have all work on the mains voltage system, for ex-
ample on cables, plugs, sockets, etc., performed
only by trained electricians. This particularly ap-
plies to configuring intermediate cables.
• If an accident occurs, disconnect the welding pow-
er source from the mains immediately.
• If electric touch voltages occur, switch off the weld-
ing set immediately and have it checked by an ex-
pert.
• Always check for good electrical contacts on the
welding current side.
• Wear insulating gloves on both hands for welding.
These offer protection from electric shocks (idling
voltage in the welding circuit), harmful radiation
(Heat and UV radiation) and from glowing metal
and slag spatter.
• Wear firm, insulated footwear. Your shoes should
also protect you in wet conditions. Opentoed foot-
wear is not suitable since falling droplets of glowing
metal will cause burns.
• Wear suitable clothing, do not wear synthetic
clothes.
• Do not look into the arc with unprotected eyes, use
only a welding safety shield with the proper safety
glass in compliance with (DIN EN 166 & DIN EN
169 degree of protection 9-10) standards. In addi-
tion to light and heat, which may cause dazzling
and burns, the arc also gives off UV radiation. With-
out proper protection, this invisible ultraviolet radia-
tion causes very painful conjunctivitis, which will
only be noticeable several hours later. In addition,
UV radiation will cause sunburn-type symptoms on
unprotected parts of the body.
