Caution! Danger due to electric shock!

I the arc is not burning, the noload voltage
between the earth terminal and the contact tip is
U0. This voltage may be atal i 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 o negligence:
e.g. the earth terminal is placed on the welding
device housing, which is connected with the
protective conductor o the electrical system. The
welding work is carried out using a machine with
a protective conductor connection. It is thereore
possible to use the machine or welding work
without having afxed the earth terminal on the
machine.In this case, the welding voltages moves
rom the earth terminal to the machine via the
protective conductor. The high welding voltage
may lead to the protective conductor melting.
• The uses on the supply lines to the power
sockets must comply with the regulations (VDE
0100). Thereore, according to these regulations,
only use and/or automatic circuit breakers which
correspond to the wire crosssection may be used
(16 ampere circuit breakers).
A use which does not correspond to the system
may lead to a cable re and/or building re
damage.
Overloaded supply networks and circuits may lead
to aults or other users during the welding process.
In case o doubt, the electricity company must be
consulted.
Only connect the ux cored electrode welding device
to a socket which is easily accessible so that you can
quickly disconnect it rom the power grid in the event
o a ault.
Check the cable and/or socket or damages beore
the appliance putting into operation.
Cables must always be ully unwound in order to
prevent the hazard posed by increased electroma
gnetic elds.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk o
electric shock. Lay the power cable so that it does not
become a trip hazard.
Do not operate the ux cored electrode welding
device i it has any visible damage or the power cable
and/or mains plug is deective.
Do not bend the power cable.
Protect all cables against oil, sharp edges and high temperatures.
Deective cable or plug may cause electric shock.
Do not pull the service cable to pull the plug out o
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. I the connection cable is damaged, this
must be replaced with a special connection cable
which can be obtained rom the manuacturer or its
customer service department.
The connection cable may only be replaced by the
manuacturer or its customer service department or
individuals with similar qualications.
Safety instructions for welding devices
WARNING! Risk of re! Improper handling
may lead to serious res or injuries!
IP21S protection degree o 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 o the welding work.
The use o this device may lead to wear on certain
parts. Thereore, it is important to check the device or
any damage and deects on a regular basis.
Protect the ux cored electrode welding device
against moisture and only use it inside in dry condi
tions.
Never immerse the ux cored electrode welding
device, the power cable or mains plug in water or any
other liquids.
Never touch the ux cored electrode 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 yoursel or other persons without pro
tection to electric arc or hot metal. Spraying welding pearls may cause burns.
A suitable welding shield, protective clothes and
protective gloves to be worn at all times.
Work with an exhaust system or in well ventilated
spaces.
Ensure that there are no persons who are not wearing
