    Proper use The device is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose. The device is intended solely for the welding processes specified on the rating plate. Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage. Proper use includes: carefully reading and following all the instructions given in the operating in- structions...

    Noise emission The device generates a maximum sound power level of <80 dB(A) (ref. 1pW) values when idling and in the cooling phase following operation at the maximum per- missible operating point under maximum rated load conditions according to EN 60974-1.
  • Page 11: Risks From Mains Current And Welding Current

    Never weld close to flammable materials. Flammable materials must be at least 11 metres (36 ft. 1.07 in.) away from the arc, or alternatively covered with an approved cover. A suitable, tested fire extinguisher must be available and ready for use. Sparks and pieces of hot metal may also get into adjacent areas through small gaps or openings.
  • Page 12: Meandering Welding Currents

    If necessary, provide adequate earthing for the workpiece. Switch off unused devices. Wear a safety harness if working at height. Before working on the device, switch it off and pull out the mains plug. Attach a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to the device to prevent anyone from plugging the mains plug back in and switching it on again.

    If this is the case, then the operator is obliged to take appropriate action to recti- fy the situation. Check and evaluate the immunity to interference of nearby devices according to national and international regulations. Examples of equipment that may be sus- ceptible to interference from the device include: Safety devices Power, signal and data transfer lines...
  • Page 14: Requirement For The Shielding Gas

    Never touch the workpiece during or after welding - risk of burns. Slag can jump off cooling workpieces. The specified protective equipment must therefore also be worn when reworking workpieces, and steps must be taken to ensure that other people are also adequately protected. Welding torches and other parts with a high operating temperature must be al- lowed to cool down before handling.
  • Page 15: Danger From Escaping Shielding Gas

    Protect shielding gas cylinders containing compressed gas from excessive heat, mechanical impact, slag, naked flames, sparks and arcs. Mount the shielding gas cylinders vertically and secure according to instructions to prevent them falling over. Keep the shielding gas cylinders well away from any welding or other electrical circuits.

    Do not lift or transport operational devices. Switch off devices before transport or lifting. Before transporting the device, allow coolant to drain completely and detach the following components: Wirefeeder Wirespool Shielding gas cylinder After transporting the device, the device must be visually inspected for damage before commissioning.
