facilities in your area. Ignoring this European Directive may have potentially ad-
verse effects on the environment and your health!
Devices with mechanically undamaged rechargeable batteries may be returned to
the relevant Fronius Service Partner for repair or battery replacement.
As soon as it becomes evident that the rechargeable battery has been mechanic-
ally damaged (e.g. electrolyte is escaping), dispose of the device at your nearest
recycling centre in accordance with national laws and guidelines.
If anything is unclear or you have any questions about disposal, contact your
Fronius Service Partner.
Use only the "ActiveCharger 1000" battery charger to charge the power source.
Use of a different charger poses a fire risk.
Only operate the power source using the battery provided. Use of a different bat-
tery could result in the risk of injury and/or fire.
If the battery is disconnected, keep it away from metal objects such as paper-
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could establish a
connection between the battery terminals. Short circuiting of the battery poles
could result in a burn injury or a fire.
Do not use damaged or modified batteries and power sources. Damaged or modi-
fied components and devices may exhibit unpredictable behaviour that could res-
ult in an explosion or injury.
Do not expose the power source and the battery to fire or temperatures exceed-
ing 130 °C (266 °F). This could result in an explosion.
Follow the charging instructions contained in these Operating Instructions. Do
not charge the battery outside of the permitted temperature range - see sec-
tionEnvironmental conditions
unauthorised temperatures could damage the battery and increase the risk of
fire.
Meandering
If the following instructions are ignored, meandering welding currents can devel-
welding currents
op with the following consequences:
-
-

-
Ensure that the workpiece is held securely by the workpiece clamp.
Attach the workpiece clamp as close as possible to the area that is to be welded.
If the floor is electrically conductive, the device must be set up with sufficient
insulating material to insulate it from the floor.
If distribution boards, twin-head mounts, etc., are being used, note the following:
The electrode of the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used is also live.
Make sure that the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used is kept suffi-
ciently insulated.
EMC measures
In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for
emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g. when
