Safety Instructions
These instructions contain important information which either supplements or supersedes
other instruction relating to this product. Read these instructions carefully before
commencing operation.
Furthermore, the installation and use of the device must follow the instructions given in the
international standard: IEC 60974-9 Arc welding equipment – Part 9: Installation and use.
Use of personal protective equipment
• The arc and its reecting radiation damage unprotected eyes. Shield your eyes and
face appropriately before you start welding or observe welding. Also note the dierent
requirements for the darkness of the screen in the mask as the welding current changes.
• The arc radiation and spatters burn unprotected skin. Always wear protective gloves,
clothing and footwear when welding.
• Always wear hearing protection if the ambient noise level exceeds the allowable limit
(e.g., 85 dB).
General operating safety
• Exercise caution when handling parts heated in welding. For example, the tip of the
welding torch, the end of the welding rod and the work piece will heat to a burning
temperature.
• Never carry the device or suspend it by the carrying strap during welding.
• Do not expose the machine to high temperatures, as this may cause damage to the
machine.
• Keep the torch cable and earthing cable as close to each other as possible throughout
their length. Straighten any loops in the cables. This minimises your exposure to harmful
magnetic elds, which may interfere with a pacemaker, for example.
• Do not wrap the cables around the body.
• In environments classied as dangerous, only use S-marked welding devices with a safe
idle voltage level. These work environments include, for example, humid, hot or small
spaces where the user may be directly exposed to the surrounding conductive materials.
• Do not use arc welding equipment for pipe thawing.
Spatter and re safety
• Welding is always classied as hot work, so pay attention to re safety regulations during
welding and after it.
• Remember that re can break out from sparks even several hours after the welding work
is completed.
• Protect the environment from welding spatter. Remove ammable materials, such as
ammable uids, from the welding vicinity and supply the welding site with adequate re
ghting equipment.
• In special welding jobs, be prepared for hazards such as re or explosion when welding
container-type work pieces.
• Never direct the spark spray or cutting spray of a grinder toward the welding machine or
ammable materials.
• Beware of hot objects or spatter falling on the machine when working above the
machine.
• Welding in ammable or explosive sites is absolutely forbidden.
General electric safety
• Only connect the welding machine to an earthed electric network.
• Note the recommended mains fuse size.
• Do not take the welding machine inside a container, vehicle or similar work piece.
