5. Safety notes

m WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injury.
Please note
m ATTENTION
Use this equipment only for the purpose for which it is
designed, as described in these instructions.
Handling this system incorrectly may be hazardous for
persons, animals and property. The user of this system
is responsible for his/her own safety and for the safety
of others:
• Read these operating instructions and follow all the
regulations.
• Repairs and/or maintenance work must be left strict-
ly to qualified personnel.
• Only the welding cables supplied with the equipment
and the accessories recommended by the manufac-
turer are allowed to be used.
• Ensure that the appliance is looked after properly.
• To ensure that sufficient air can be drawn in through
the ventilation slits, the appliance should not be con-
stricted or placed next to a wall while it is operating.
Make sure that the appliance is correctly connected
to the mains supply. Do not subject the mains lead to
any tensile stress. Unplug the appliance before you
change its position.
• Check the condition of the welding cables, the elec-
trode tongs and the earth terminals; wear on the
insulation and the live parts may result in danger-
ous conditions and reduce the quality of the welding
work.
• Arc welding generates sparks, molten metal par-
ticles and smoke, so the following is required: Re-
move all inflammable substances and/or materials
from the working area.
• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
• 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 tongs and the earth
terminal may be dangerous.
• Do not store or use the appliance in wet or damp
conditions or in the rain.
• Protect your eyes with specially designed goggles
(DIN Grad 9-10). Wear gloves and dry safety cloth-
ing that are not contaminated by any oil or grease
to ensure that your skin is not exposed to ultraviolet
radiation from the arc.
• Do not use this welder to defrost pipes
Remember!
• The radiation from the arc can damage your eyes
and cause burns on skin.
• 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.
• Arc welding releases vapors that may be harmful.
Every electric shock is potentially fatal.
• Do not approach the arc within a radius of 15 m un-
protected.
• Protect yourself (and others around you) against the
possible hazardous effects of the arc.
• Warning: Depending on the mains connection con-
ditions at the connection point of the welding set,
other consumers connected to the mains may suffer
faults.
Attention!
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
Arc welding results in a number of sources of danger.
It is therefore particularly important for the welder to
comply with the following rules so as not to place him-
self or others in danger and to avoid endangering peo-
ple and equipment.
