Page 5: Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions Explanation of DANGER! Safety Instruc- tions Indicates an immediate danger. ▶ Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken. WARNING! Indicates a possibly dangerous situation. ▶ Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken. CAUTION! Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur. -
Page 6: Intended Use
Intended Use The device is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose. The device is intended exclusively for the welding process specified on the rating plate. Utilization for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall be deemed to be "not in accordance with the intended purpose."... -
Page 7: Grid Connection
Grid Connection Devices with a high output can influence the energy quality of the grid due to their current consumption. This may affect a number of device types in terms of: connection restrictions criteria regarding maximum permissible grid impedance criteria regarding the minimum required short-circuit power both at the interface with the public grid See technical data In this case, the operator or the person using the device should check whether or... -
Page 8: Data On Noise Emission Values
Data on noise The device produces a maximum noise level of <80 dB(A) (ref. 1pW) when idling emission values and in the cooling phase following operation in relation to the maximum permit- ted operating point at standard loading in accordance with EN 60974-1. A workplace-specific emission value for welding (and cutting) cannot be spe- cified because this value depends on the welding process and the environmental conditions. -
Page 9: Risks From Grid Current And Welding Current
Keep suitable, tested fire extinguishers on hand. Sparks and pieces of hot metal may also get into surrounding areas through small cracks and openings. Take appropriate measures to ensure that there is no risk of injury or fire. Do not undertake welding in areas at risk of fire and explosion, or on sealed tanks, drums, or pipes if these have not been prepared in accordance with cor- responding national and international standards. -
Page 10: Stray Welding Currents
When working at elevated heights, wear a safety harness to prevent falls. Before working on the device, switch off the device and remove the grid plug. Secure the device to prevent the grid plug from being connected and switched on again by applying a clearly legible and understandable warning sign. After opening the device: Discharge all electrically charged components Ensure that all components are disconnected from the power supply. -

Page 12: Requirement For The Shielding Gas
Slag may fly off cooling workpieces. Therefore, also wear regulation-compliant protective equipment when reworking workpieces and ensure that other persons are sufficiently protected. Leave the welding torch and other parts with a high operating temperature to cool before working on them. Special regulations apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion –... -
Page 13: Safety Measures At The Setup Location And During Transport
Protect shielding gas cylinders with compressed gas from excessive heat, mech- anical impact, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs. Mount the shielding gas cylinders vertically and secure them in accordance with instructions so they cannot fall over. Keep shielding gas cylinders away from welding or other electrical circuits. Never hang a welding torch on a shielding gas cylinder. -
