ATTENTION!
During the operation of the
welding device, other con-
sumers may experience prob-
lems with the voltage supply
depending on the network
conditions at the connection
point. In case of doubt, please
contact your energy supply
company.
During the operation of the
welding device, other devices
may malfunction, e.g. hearing
aids, cardiac pacemakers, etc.
Potential hazards
during electric arc
welding
There are a series of potential
hazards that can occur during
electric arc welding. It is there-
fore particularly important for the
welder to observe the following
rules to avoid endangering him/
herself and others and to pre-
vent damage to people and the
device.
Work on the voltage side, e.g.
on cables, plugs, sockets etc.,
may only be carried out by
qualifi ed electricians accord-
ing to national and local
regulations.
In the event of accidents,
disconnect the welding
device from the mains voltage
immediately.
If electrical contact voltages
occur, switch off the device
immediately and have it
checked by a qualifi ed
electrician.
Always ensure good electrical
contacts on the welding current
side.
Always wear insulating gloves
on both hands during welding
work. These provide protection
from electrical shocks (no-load
voltage of the welding cur-
rent circuit), harmful radia-
tions (heat and UV radiation)
and incandescent metal and
splashes of slag.
Wear sturdy, insulating shoes.
The shoes should also insulate
when exposed to moisture.
Loafers are not suitable as
falling incandescent metal
droplets can cause burns.
Wear suitable protective
clothing, no synthetic
garments.
Do not look into the electric
arc without eye protection;
only use a welding mask with
the prescribed protective glass
as per DIN. In addition to light
