live parts may result in dangerous
conditions and reduce the quality of the
welding work.
앬 Arc welding generates sparks, molten
metal particles and smoke, so the following
is required: Remove all inflammable
substances and/or materials from the
working area.
앬 Ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
앬 Do not weld on tanks, vessels or pipes that
have contained inflammable liquids or
gases. Avoid all direct contact with the
welding circuit; the idling voltage between
the electrode holder and the earth terminal
may be dangerous.
앬 Do not store or use the appliance in wet or
damp conditions or in the rain.
앬 Protect your eyes with specially designed
goggles (DIN level 9-10), which you can
attach to the supplied welding screen.
Wear gloves and dry safety clothing that
are not contaminated by any oil or grease
to ensure that your skin is not exposed to
ultraviolet radiation from the arc.
앬 Do not use this welder to defrost pipes.
앬 Make sure that the equipment is set up so it
stands firmly. If the equipment is set up on
an incline, it may need to be secured by
tying or by blocking the wheels.
Hazard!
앬 The radiation from the arc can damage
your eyes and cause burns on skin.
앬 Arc welding generates sparks and droplets
of molten metal; the welded workpiece may
start to glow and will remain very hot for a
relatively long period of time.
앬 Arc welding releases vapors that may be
harmful. Every electric shock is potentially
fatal.
앬 Do not approach the arc within a radius of
15 m unprotected.
앬 Protect yourself (and others around you)
against the possible hazardous effects of
the arc.
앬 Warning: Depending on the mains
connection conditions at the connection
point of the welding set, other consumers
connected to the mains may suffer faults.
Warning!
If the supply mains and circuits are overloaded,
other consumers may suffer interference
during the welding work. If you have any
doubts, contact your electricity supply
company.
Sources of danger during arc welding
Danger!
Arc welding results in a number of sources of
danger. It is therefore particularly important for
the person performing the welding to comply
with the following rules so as not to place
himself or others in danger and to avoid injury
to people and damage to equipment.
1. Have all work on the mains voltage system,
for example on cables, plugs, sockets, etc.,
performed only by trained electricians. This
particularly applies to configuring
intermediate cables.
2. If an accident occurs, disconnect the
welding power source from the mains
immediately.
3. If electric touch voltages occur, switch off
the welding set immediately and have it
checked by an expert.
4. Always check for good electrical contacts
on the welding current side.
5. Wear insulating gloves on both hands for
welding. These offer protection from
electric shocks (idling voltage in the
welding circuit), harmful radiation (heat and
UV radiation) and from glowing metal and
slag spatter.
6. Wear firm, insulated footwear. Your shoes
must also be suitable to protect you in wet
conditions. Open-toed footwear is not
suitable since falling droplets of glowing
metal will cause burns.
7. Wear suitable clothing, do not wear
synthetic clothes.
8. Do not look into the arc with unprotected
eyes; use only a welding screen with the
proper safety glass in compliance with DIN
standards. In addition to light and heat,
which may cause dazzling and burns, the
