Proper Use - Scheppach WSE3200 Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

• Also, persons in the vicinity of the electric arc must
be advised of the hazard and equipped with the ne-
cessary protective equipment. Protective partitions
or walls may have to be erected.
• Ensure adequate ventilation for welding, particular-
ly in small rooms since the process causes smoke
and harmful gases.
• Do not carry out any welding work on tanks that
have been used to store gases, fuels, mineral oil or
the like, even if they have been empty for a lengthy
period of time, since any residue will result in a dan-
ger of explosion.
• Special regulations apply in areas where there is a
potential risk of fire and/or explosion.
• Welds that are exposed to large stresses and must
comply with safety requirements may only be com-
pleted by specially trained and approved welders.
Examples of such welds include pressure vessels,
rails, trailer hitches, etc.
• Note: It must be noted that the protective conduc-
tor in electrical systems of appliances may be de-
stroyed by the welding current in the event of neg-
ligence, for example if the earth terminal is placed
on the welding set casing to which the protective
conductor of the electrical system is connected.
The welding work is completed on a machine with
a protective conductor connection.
• The fuses on the supply cables to the mains sock-
ets must comply with the relevant regulations. To
comply with these regulations, only fuses or circuit
breakers suitable for the cross-section of the ca-
bles may be used. The use of too high a fuse may
result in the cable burning and fire damage to the
building.
Constricted and wet areas
When working in constricted, wet or hot areas, use
insulating supports and intermediate layers as well as
slip-on gloves made of leather or other nonconduc-
tive materials to insulate your body against the floor,
walls, conductive parts of the machine and the like.
If you use small welding transformers for welding in
places with an increase electrical risk, for example
in constricted areas with conductive walls, (tanks,
pipes, etc.), in wet areas (which make work clothes
wet) and in hot areas (perspiration on work clothes),
the output voltage of the welding set when idling must
not exceed 48 V (effective value). Therefore, the ap-
pliance may not be used for these purposes because
its output voltage is higher than this.
Safety clothing
• While working, the welder must protect his entire
body from radiation and burns by wearing suitable
clothing and a face guard.
• Slip-on gloves made of a suitable material (leather)
must be worn on both hands. They must be in per-
fect condition.
• Suitable aprons must be worn to protect clothing
from sparks and burns. A safety suit and, if neces-
sary, head protection must be worn if required by
the type of work in question, e.g. overhead welding.
• The protective clothing used as well as all acces-
sories must be in compliance 89/686/EWG with the
"Personal safety equipment" EU Directive.

Protection from radiation and burns
• Provide information about the risk to eyes at the
working site in the form of a poster with the wording
"Caution – do not look at the flames". Workplaces
are to be screened off wherever possible so that
personnel in the vicinity are protected. Unauthor-
ized persons are to be kept away from the welding
work.
• The walls in the immediate vicinity of station-
ary workplaces should not have a light color or a
sheen. Windows up to head height are to be pro-
tected against radiation passing through them or
reflecting off them, for example by coating them
with a suitable paint.
• Flying welding sparks can cause painful burns and
so the following instructions must be observed:
- Always wear a protective leather apron
- Always wear leather gloves
- Wear suitable headgear for overhead welding
work
- Always wear sturdy and insulated footwear
Risk of injury from flying pieces of slag
The slag is hard and brittle once solidified. After-
wards, this will be smashed to small sharp-edged
pieces with the slag hammer. These can cause dan-
gerous eye injuries. For this reason, protect your eyes
with suitable protective goggles when removing the
slag.
Indirect electrical contact
Injuries due to live parts in the event of electrical
parts being opened up or being defective. Always pull
out the mains plug before carrying out maintenance
work. Only operate via an RCD breaker.

Proper use

The machine is to be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of
misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer
will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind
caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been de-
signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial ap-
plications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine
is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses
or for equivalent purposes.
Pacemakers
Persons using an electronic life support device (e.g.
a pacemaker) should consult their doctor before they
go near electric sparking, cutting, burning or spot-
welding equipment in order to be sure that the com-
bination of magnetic fields and high electric currents
does not affect their devices.
