2. Overview of Important Safety Instructions
2.1 Important Safety Instructions
Warning
Danger to life due to high voltage
Before opening the switch cabinet, the device must be disconnected from the power supply at all poles.
(Disconnect the power plug.) Live components and connections may be exposed in the process.
Risk of fire
There is a risk of fire if the welding machine is used improperly (e.g., due to the material overheating),
particularly in the vicinity of flammable materials.
Risk of burning!
Do not touch the hot-wedge holder, hot wedge, and stepping motors when they are hot. Do not wear any
jewelry or watches, particularly on the hands, arms, and fingers. The device should always be allowed
to cool down first.
Connect the device to an outlet with a protective conductor.
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the device is dangerous.
Only use extension cables with protective conductors.
Risk of poisoning
Gases are released during the processing of plastics, lacquers, or similar materials that could be aggres-
sive or toxic. Avoid breathing in vapors, even if they seem to be harmless. Make sure the workplace is
well-ventilated at all times or wear a breathing mask.
Risk of crushing
There is a risk of crushing due to the movement of mechanical and/or electromechanical parts. Take the
necessary precautions to prevent hazards posed by mechanical parts.
Risk of entanglement
Avoid reaching between moving parts such as the transport rollers in order to prevent objects or body
parts becoming entangled.
Two people are needed to move the machine. Make sure that the machine cannot topple over.
Caution
The nominal voltage specified on the device must match the local line voltage. If the supply voltage
fails, the main switch and the drive must be switched off.
When using the device, a residual-current circuit breaker is required to protect the personnel working
RCD
at the site where the device is being used.
The device must be supervised at all times during operation. Waste heat can come into contact with
flammable materials that are not in view.
Device may be operated only by trained specialists or under their supervision. Children are not permit-
ted to operate the device under any circumstances.
Protect the device from moisture and wet conditions.
When working on the open system, do not wear such articles of clothing as scarves, shawls, or neck-
ties. Tie up long hair or protect it by wearing headgear.
Wear protective goggles
In certain processes, various metal parts and materials are heated to high temperatures and can produce
splashes if handled incorrectly. Operating staff and persons in the immediate vicinity of the device must
therefore wear protective goggles.
