Safety
Proper use The power source is intended exclusively for MIG/MAG, MMA and TIG welding.
Utilisation for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall be deemed to be not in ac-
cordance with the intended purpose.
The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damages arising from such usage.
Proper use also includes
- complying with all the instructions in the Operating Instructions
- performing all stipulated inspection and maintenance work
Setup regulations The device is tested to IP 23 protection, meaning:
- Protection against penetration by solid foreign bodies with diameters > 12 mm (0.49
in.)
- Protection against spraywater at any angle up to 60° to the vertical
The device can be set up and operated outdoors in accordance with degree of protection
IP 23.
Avoid direct wetting (e.g. from rain).
The venting duct is a very important safety device. When choosing the device location, en-
sure that the cooling air can enter and exit unhindered through the air ducts on the front
and back of the device. Electroconductive metallic dust (e.g. from grinding work) must not
be allowed to get sucked into the device.
Mains connection The devices are designed to run on the mains voltage shown on the respective rating
plates. If your version of the device does not come with mains cables and plugs ready-fit-
ted, these must be fitted in accordance with national regulations and standards. For details
of fuse protection of the mains lead, please see the Technical Data.
WARNING! Incorrect operation or shoddy workmanship can cause serious injury
or damage. All activities described in these operating instructions may only be
carried out by trained and qualified personnel. All functions described in these op-
erating instructions may only be used by trained and qualified personnel. Do not
carry out any of the work or use any of the functions described until you have fully
read and understood the following documents:
- these operating instructions
- all the operating instructions for the system components, especially the safe-
ty rules
WARNING! If one of these machines topples over or falls it could cause serious
or even fatal injury. Place device on a solid, level surface in such a way that it re-
mains stable.
CAUTION! Electroconductive metallic dust may damage the device. The air filter
is a very important safety device for adhering to IP 23 protection. The device may
only be operated with an air filter fitted.
NOTE! Inadequately dimensioned electrical installations can cause serious dam-
age. The incoming mains lead and its fuse must be dimensioned to suit the local
power supply. The technical data shown on the rating plate applies.
