mask with the prescribed protective glass as per DIN. In addition
to light and heat radiation, which can dazzle or cause burns, the
arc also emits UV radiation. Without suitable protection the invisi-
ble ultraviolet radiation can cause very painful conjunctivitis which
is not apparent until several hours later. Furthermore, UV radiation
can cause burns with sunburn-like effects on unprotected parts of
the body.
Any persons in the vicinity of the electric arc or helpers must also
„
be informed of the dangers and be equipped with the necessary
protective equipment. If necessary, set up protective walls.
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air whilst welding, particularly
„
in small spaces, as it produces smoke and harmful gases.
No welding work may be carried out on containers that have
„
been used for storing gases, fuels, mineral oils or similar – even if
they have been empty for a long time – as possible residues may
present a risk of explosion.
Special regulations apply in rooms where there is a risk of fire or
„
explosion.
Welded joints that are subject to heavy stress loads and are
„
required to comply with certain safety requirements may only be
carried out by specially trained and certified welders. Examples of
this are pressure vessels, running rails, tow bars, etc.
ATTENTION! Always connect the earth terminal as close as
„
possible to the point of weld to provide the shortest possible path
for the welding current from the electrode to the earth terminal.
Never connect the earth terminal to the housing of the welder!
Never connect the earth terminal to earthed parts far away from
the workpiece, e.g. a water pipe in another corner of the room.
This could otherwise damage the protective bonding system of the
room you are welding.
Do not use the welder in the rain.
„
Do not use the welder in a moist environment.
„
Only place the welder on a level surface.
„
The output is rated at an ambient temperature of 20 °C.
„
The welding time can be reduced at higher temperatures.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Electric shock from a welding electrode can be fatal. Do not weld
„
in rain or snow. Wear dry insulating gloves. Do not touch the
electrodes with bare hands. Do not wear wet or damaged gloves.
Protect yourself from electric shock with insulation against the
workpiece. Do not open the device housing.
