and the live parts can lead to hazards and reduce the quality of
the welding work.
Arc welding creates sparks, molten metal parts and smoke.
Therefore ensure that: All flammable substances and/or materials
are removed from the work station and its immediate surrounding.
Ensure the work station is ventilated.
Do not weld on containers, vessels or tubes that contain or
contained flammable liquids or gases.
Avoid any form of direct contact with the
welding current circuit. The no-load voltage between the electrode
holder and earth terminal can be dangerous, there is a risk of
electric shock.
Do not store the device in a damp or wet environment or in the
rain. Protection rating IP21S is applicable in this case.
Protect your eyes using the appropriate protective glasses (DIN
level 9–10), or an automatic welding helmet (in accordance with
EN 166, 175 and 389; protection levels DIN 9–13). Wear gloves
and dry protective clothing that are free of oil and grease to
protect the skin from exposure to ultraviolet radiation of the arc.
Do not use the welding power source to defrost
pipes.
Please note:
The light radiation emitted by the arc can damage eyes and cause
burns to the skin.
Arc welding creates sparks and drops of melted metal. The welded
workpiece starts to glow and remains hot for a relatively long
period of time. Therefore, do not touch the workpiece with bare
hands.
Arc welding can cause vapours to be released that may be
hazardous to health. Be careful not to inhale these vapours.
Protect yourself from the harmful effects of the arc and keep people
that are not involved in the work away from the arc, maintaining
adistance of at least 2m.
ATTENTION!
During the operation of the welder, other consumers may experi-
ence problems with the voltage supply depending on the network
conditions at the connection point. In case of doubt, please contact
your energy supply company.
