The bottle with shielding gas and the xed adjust-
ment gas current equipment must not be moved. The
gas bottle valve must be closed during transport.
Close the gas bottle valve after use.
Potential hazards
Only have work relating to the power supply, e.g.
cables, plugs, sockets etc., carried out by an expert.
This applies, in particular, to the creation of intermedi-
ate cables.
In the event of an accident, disconnect the welding
power source from the mains immediately.
In the event of electrical contact voltage, turn the device
o immediately and have it inspected by an expert.
Always ensure the electrical contacts are good with
regard to the welding power.
When welding, always wear insulating gloves on both
hands. These protect against electric shock (no-load
voltage of the welding circuit), against harmful radiation
(heat and UV radiation) and against burning metal and
slag spray.
Wear sturdy, insulated footwear; the shoes should also
perform their insulation function when wet. Low-rise
shoes are not suitable since burning metal droplets
which fall downwards cause burns.
Wear suitable clothing and do not wear any synthetic
clothing.
Contact with the hose bundle nozzle and the material
being processed may cause burns.
Do not look into the arc without eye protection; only
use welding protective shield with the proper protective
glass pursuant to DIN. The arc also emits UV radiation,
in addition to light and heat radiation, which may cause
glare and/or burns. The invisible ultraviolet radiation
causes very painful conjunctivitis, which is only noticea-
ble a few hours later, if su cient protection is not worn.
In addition, the UV radiation causes damaging sunburn
to areas of the body which are not protected.
Persons or assistants near to the arc must also be made
aware of the risks and provided with the necessary
protective equipment. If necessary, protective walls are
to be constructed.
No welding work may be carried out on containers in
which gases, fuels, mineral oils or similar have been
stored, even if they have been empty for a long time
already, as residues lead to an explosion hazard.
In spaces at risk of re and explosion, special regulations
apply.
Welded joints which are subject to great strain and must
always meet the safety requirements and may only be
welded by welders who have received special training
and obtained the relevant quali cations. Examples
include: Pressure vessels, sliding rails, hitches etc.
Small and hot rooms
Caution! Danger of poisoning / Danger of
asphyxiation
• Signi cant quantities of smoke and gases are
created during welding work. Ensure that the
smoke and gases can always be removed via a sui-
table opening. However, an oxygen supply must
never be added. This increases the re hazard.
When working in small or hot rooms, insulating bases
and interim layers, as well as gauntlets made from lea-
ther or other non-conductive materials, are to be used
to insulate the body against the oor, walls, conductive
parts of the device and similar.
When using welding transformers for welding work in
situations with an increased electrical risk, e.g. in small
rooms with electrically conductive walls (boilers, pipes
etc.), in hot rooms (sweat-soaked work clothes), the out-
put voltage of the ux cored electrode welding device
may not exceed 48 V~ in idling conditions (e ective
value). The device may thus be operated in this case on
the basis of its output voltage in idling conditions.
Protective clothing
Caution! Risk of accident due to spraying
sparks
The spraying welding sparks may lead to painful
burn injuries.
Therefore, always observe the following instruc-
tions:
• Always wear a leather apron.
• Use leather gloves.
• Wear suitable head protection when welding
overhead.
• Ensure that your trouser legs cover the tops of
your shoes.
• Wear sturdy, insulating footwear.
Whilst working, the welder's entire body must be
protected against radiation and burns by means of
the clothing and face protection.
Gauntlets made from a suitable material (leather)
must be worn on both hands. These must not be
damaged.
Suitable aprons must be worn to protect the clothing
against ying sparks and burns. If the nature of the
work, e.g. overhead welding, requires this, a protec-
tive suit must worn and, where necessary, this must
also include suitable head protection.
The protective clothing which is used, as well as all
the accessories, must be compliant with the "Personal
Protective Equipment" Regulation (2016/425).
