Immediately replace damaged or highly contaminated or splattered
components.
The device must only be operated by people aged 16 or over.
Please familiarise yourself with the welding safety instructions.
Also refer to the safety instructions of your welder.
Always wear a welding mask while welding. If you do not do this,
you could sustain severe lesions to the retina.
Always wear protective clothing during welding operations.
Never use the welding mask without the welding lens.
There is a risk of damage to the eyes!
Regularly replace the protective screen to ensure good visibility
and fatigue-proof work.
z Environment with increased electrical hazard
When welding in environments with increased electrical hazard, the
following safety instructions must be observed.
Environments with increased electrical hazard may be encountered,
for example:
In workplaces where the space for movement is restricted, such
that the welder is working in a forced posture (e.g.: kneeling,
sitting, lying) and is touching electrically conductive parts;
In workplaces which are restricted completely or in part in terms
of electrical conductivity and where there is a high risk through
avoidable or accidental touching by the welder;
In wet, humid or hot workplaces where the air humidity or sweat
significantly reduces the resistance of human skin and the insulating
properties or effect of protective equipment.
Even a metal conductor or scaffolding can create an environment
with increased electrical hazard.
In this type of environment, insulated mats and pads must be used.
Furthermore gauntlet gloves and head protection made of leather or
other insulating materials must be worn to insulate the body against
Earth. The welding power source must be located outside the working
area or electrically conductive surfaces and out of the welder’s reach.
Additional protection against a shock from the mains current in the
event of a fault can be provided by using a fault-circuit interrupter,
which is operated with a leakage current of no more than 30 mA and
covers all mains-powered devices in close proximity.
The fault-circuit interrupter must be suitable for all types of current.
