Caution! Danger due to electric shock!
If the arc is not burning, the no-load voltage
between the earth terminal and the contact tip is
U0. This voltage may be fatal if the welder touches
the contact tip, burner nozzle, welding wire and
the workpiece with bare hands.
• It is essential to take into account that the pro-
tective conductor in electrical systems or devices
may be destroyed by the welding voltage in the
event of negligence:
e.g. the earth terminal is placed on the welding
device housing, which is connected with the
protective conductor of the electrical system. The
welding work is carried out using a machine with
a protective conductor connection. It is therefore
possible to use the machine for welding work
without having affixed the earth terminal on the
machine.In this case, the welding voltages moves
from the earth terminal to the machine via the
protective conductor. The high welding voltage
may lead to the protective conductor melting.
• The fuses on the supply lines to the power
sockets must comply with the regulations (VDE
0100). Therefore, according to these regulations,
only fuse and/or automatic circuit breakers which
correspond to the wire cross-section may be used
(16 ampere circuit breakers).
A fuse which does not correspond to the system
may lead to a cable fire and/or building fire
damage.
Overloaded supply networks and circuits may lead
to faults for other users during the welding process.
In case of doubt, the electricity company must be
consulted.
Only connect the welding device to a socket which is
easily accessible so that you can quickly disconnect it
from the power grid in the event of a fault.
Check the cable and/or socket for damages before
the appliance putting into operation.
Cables must always be fully unwound in order to
prevent the hazard posed by increased electroma-
gnetic fields.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock. Lay the power cable so that it does not
become a trip hazard.
Do not operate the welding device if it has any visible
damage or the power cable and/or mains plug is
defective.
Do not bend the power cable.
Protect all cables against oil, sharp edges and high
temperatures.
Defective cable or plug may cause electric shock.
Do not pull the service cable to pull the plug out of
socket.
The power supply cable is a high-quality cable which
must not be damaged. When carrying out your work,
ensure that you do not contact the cable with hot
objects. If the connection cable is damaged, this
must be replaced with a special connection cable
which can be obtained from the manufacturer or its
customer service department.
The connection cable may only be replaced by the
manufacturer or its customer service department or
individuals with similar qualifications.
Safety instructions for welding devices
WARNING! Risk of fire! Improper handling
may lead to serious fires or injuries!
IP21S protection degree of the welder. The welder
must not be exposed to rain and moisture when
being operated or stored.
Check the voltage. Technical data given on the type
label must correspond with electric network voltage.
Ensure the welding cable, tip, burner and earth
terminal are in excellent condition. Any wear to the
insulation and the live parts may create a dangerous
situation and reduce the quality of the welding work.
The use of this device may lead to wear on certain
parts. Therefore, it is important to check the device for
any damage and defects on a regular basis.
Protect the welding device against moisture and only
use it inside in dry conditions.
Never immerse the welding device, the power cable
or mains plug in water or any other liquids.
Never touch the welding device or the mains plug
with damp hands.
Ensure that you do not come into direct contact with
the welding circuit.
The no-load voltage between the contact tip and the
earth terminal may be dangerous.
Never insert sharp and/or metallic objects into the
device.
Do not expose yourself or other persons without pro-
tection to electric arc or hot metal. Spraying welding
pearls may cause burns.
