Welding arc and spatter
The arc and the refl ected radiation from it can damage unprotected eyes. Shield your eyes and
protect your surroundings appropriately before you start welding. The arc and welding spatter will
burn unprotected skin. When welding, use protective clothes and clothing.
Danger of fi re and explosion
Observe the fi re safety instructions. Remove fl ammable material in and near the location in which
you will weld. Make sure the necessary fi re extinguisher equipment is nearby. Note the dangers
posed by special jobs, such as the risk of fi re and explosion when welding tanks. Note! Sparks
may ignite a fi re even hours later! Welding involves working with a naked fl ame, note the special
instructions for such work.
Mains voltage
Never bring the welding machine inside the work piece (e.g. container or car). Never set the
welding machine on a wet surface. Replace faulty cables immediately, they create a danger to life
and can cause a fi re. Ensure that the connecting cable does not stick, touch sharp edges, or come
in contact with a hot piece.
Welding current circuit
Isolate yourself from the welding current circuit by wearing dry and undamaged protective clothing.
Never work on a wet surface. Never use damaged welding cables. Never set the electrode holder,
earth clamp, or welding cables on top of the power source or other electrical equipment.
Welding fumes
Ensure adequate ventilation. Always take special measures when welding metals containing lead,
cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium.
This equipment's electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) makes it suitable for use in
an industrial environment. Class A equipment is not intended for use in a residential
