• The increased risk of electric shock due to the weld-
er coming into contact with earth when using a Class
I welding power source whose housing is earthed by
its protective earth conductor.
Safety clothing
• While working, the welder must protect his entire
body from radiation and burns by wearing suitable
clothing and a face guard.
• Slip-on gloves made of a suitable material (leather)
must be worn on both hands. They must be in per-
fect condition.
• Suitable aprons must be worn to protect clothing
from sparks and burns. A safety suit and, if neces-
sary, head protection must be worn if required by the
type of work in question, e.g. overhead welding.
• The protective clothing used as well as all accesso-
ries must be in compliance with the "Personal safety
equipment" EU Directive.
Protection from radiation and burns
• Provide information about the risk to eyes at the
working site in the form of a poster with the wording
"Caution – do not look at the flames". Workplaces
are to be screened off wherever possible so that
personnel in the vicinity are protected. Unauthorized
persons are to be kept away from the welding work.
• The walls in the immediate vicinity of stationary
workplaces should not have a light color or a sheen.
Windows up to head height are to be protected
against radiation passing through them or reflecting
off them, for example by coating them with a suitable
paint.
EMV device classification
ATTENTION! This class A device is not
intended for use in residential environ-
ments in which the power supply
comes from a public low-voltage supply
system. It can be difficult to ensure electromagnetic
compatibility in these areas, both due to conducted
and radiated high-frequency interferences.
Even if the welding device complies with the emission
limit values of the standard, arc welding devices can
still result in electromagnetic interferences in sensitive
systems and devices. The user is responsible for inter-
ference caused by the arc during welding and the user
must take appropriate protective measures.
26 | GB
The user must pay particular attention to the following:
• Mains, control, signal and telecommunication lines
• Computers and other microprocessor-controlled
devices
• Television, radio and other playback equipment
• Electronic and electrical safety devices
• Persons with pacemakers or hearing aids
• Measuring and calibration equipment
• Immunity of other equipment in the vicinity
• The time of day when the welding work is carried
out.
In order to reduce possible interference radiation,
it is recommended:
• Set up and operate the welding device properly to
minimise possible disruptive emissions.
• Maintain the welding device regularly and keep it in
good condition.
• Welding cables should be fully unwound and run
parallel to the floor insofar as possible
• Devices and systems that are compromised by the
interference radiation must be removed from the
welding area or shielded.
• Using an electromagnetic filter that reduces electro-
magnetic interference.
General safety information
It is the user's responsibility to install and use the
equipment properly in accordance with the instruc-
tions issued by the manufacturer. If electromagnetic
interference is noticed, it is the user's responsibility to
eliminate said interference with the technical devices
mentioned in the section "Important information about
the power connection".
Reduction of emissions
Main current supply
The welder must be connected to the main current sup-
ply in accordance with the instructions issued by the
manufacturer. If interference occurs, it may be neces-
sary to introduce additional measures, e.g. fitting a fil-
ter to the main current supply (see above in the section
"Important information about the power connection").
The welding cables should be kept as short as pos-
sible.
Warning! This power tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair active
or passive medical implants under certain conditions.
