•
Ensure a safe stand. When setting up the device, ensure that it is on a firm and secure surface.
•
Avoid contact with hot parts. Do not touch any hot parts on the device. Note that some com-
ponents store heat and can cause burns even after the device has been used.
•
Check for damage. Check the device for any damage before putting it into operation. If the
device is damaged, it must not be put into operation under any circumstances.
•
Do not use any sharp objects. Never insert sharp and/or metallic objects into the device.
•
Do not misuse. Only use the device for the purposes described in this operating manual.
•
Check regularly. The use of this device can lead to wear and tear on certain parts. Therefore,
check the device regularly for any damage and defects.
•
Correct use of the power cord. Never pull the plug out of the socket by the power cable and
protect all cables from oil, sharp edges, and high temperatures. When working, be careful not
to touch the cables with hot objects. The power cord must not be damaged. If the cable is
damaged, it must be replaced with a new one.
•
The device should not stand close to the wall or directly against the wall during opera-

Arc welding generates sparks, molten metal parts, and smoke. Therefore, make sure to
remove all flammable substances and/or materials from the workplace.
•
Do not weld on containers, vessels, or pipes that have contained flammable liquids or
gases.
•
Avoid any direct contact with the welding circuit; the open circuit voltage that occurs bet-

•
Do not store or use the device in a damp or wet environment or in the rain.
CAUTION:
•
Radiation from the arc can damage the eyes and burn the skin.
•
Arc welding creates sparks and drops of molten metal. The welded work piece begins to glow
and remains very hot for quite a long time.
•
Arc welding releases fumes that are potentially harmful.
