Attention!
When operating resistance welding equipment, the operator must observe the
accident prevention regulations
BGV B11 (Electromagnetic Fields) and the BG rules BGR B11. The power
pack and cables of the welding gun and spot welding pliers generate a strong
electromagnetic field during operation. Electromagnetic fields can cause irrita-
tion to sensory organs, nerve and muscle cells and malfunctions of medical
aids (hearing aids, heart pacemakers, etc.) and of electronic devices and data
storage systems.
Magnetic fields occur only during the welding process (current flow times).
Do not touch the electrodes with your head during the welding process and
do not put your head through the welding window.
Do not allow the welding cable to run along your spine.
