Safety Instructions
1.7 Operation of the Product
DANGER
In the environment of resistance welding systems, magnetic field
strengths have to be expected which are above the limit values
specified in VDE 0848 Part 4.
This applies, above all, to the master-slave mode, because it per-
mits parallel connection of several units to increase the welding
capacity. Especially if manual guns are used, the limit values for
extremities may be exceeded.
In cases of doubt, you should measure the field strength and take
additional measures to ensure safety and health at work. Please
comply with regulation BGV B11 of the German Berufsgenossen-
schaft (professional association) ”Unfallverhütungsvorschrift
elektromagnetische Felder”.
DANGER
The strong magnetic fields occurring in resistance welding may
affect the proper functioning of pacemakers. This may be fatal or
cause serious personal injury!
Therefore, persons with pacemakers must stay clear of resistance
welding systems.
We recommend that warning sings as per DIN 40023 are posted at
every entrance to manufacturing shops housing resistance-wel-
ding equipment:
No entry for persons with cardiac
pacemakers!
Danger!
DANGER
Danger of personal injury and damage to property if devices are
operated before they have been properly installed!
