Operational safety
The welding machine is exclusively intended for application as
directed. The welding machine must only be used for welding
processes and working ranges scheduled on the power sign.
Every other use is regarded as
not directed.
The manufacturer is not liable for damages occurred hereof.
The power source must never be used for the following works:
• Thawing of pipe lines
• Loading of batteries/accumulators
• Starting of motors
The machine is intended for industrial use and must not
be used in residential buildings. The manufacturer is not
liable for damages due to use in residential buildings. The
power source is subject to the standards IEC 61000-3-4 or
EN 61000-3-2.
• When welding, dry and flame resistant protective clothing,
apron, helmet and gloves as well as solid, well-insulated
work shoes should be worn.
3.3.1. Danger due to electromagnetic fields (EMF)
According to the Accident Prevention Regulations BGV B11
"Electro-magnetic fields" the permissible values of electric
and magnetic fields will not be exceeded with arc welding
systems in the environment of the power source, the feed
lines and the torch.
However, the safety values for persons with active implants
(cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators and similar) might be
exceeded in the environment of welding machines.
Due to the low magnetic fields of arc welding systems,
a safety distance of 1 m to the live parts such as cable
assemblies, cables and torch/arc is recommended. During
MIG/MAG welding, the danger is due to magnetic fields and
during TIG welding due to the high voltage pulses of arc
ignition units.
3.2 Application as directed
CAUTION!
3.3 Self protection and
personal protection
