fulfil functions. These operating instructions describe the xFUME
devices only. They must only be operated using original ABICOR BINZEL
spare parts.
A corresponding marking has been affixed to the product, if required.
Non-observance of the safety instructions may result in risks to the life or
health of personnel and result in environmental damage or material damage.
In doing so, observe the operating, maintenance and servicing conditions.
► Do not exceed the maximum load data specified in the documentation.
Excessive loads lead to irreparable damage.
► Do not make any constructive changes to the product.
► Do not use or store the device outdoors where it is wet.
► During welding work outdoors, use suitable protection against the
weather conditions.
► Use suitable means to protect yourself and bystanders from the hazards
listed in the documentation.
► Store the documentation within easy reach of the device for reference
and enclose all documentation when passing on the product.
► Consult the documentation for the other welding components.
► When handling gas cylinders, consult the instructions from the gas
manufacturers and the corresponding local regulations, e.g. pressurised
gas regulations.
► Observe the local accident prevention regulations.
► Have commissioning as well as operating and maintenance work
carried out exclusively by qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are
persons who, based on their special training, knowledge, experience
and due to their knowledge of the relevant standards, are able to assess
the tasks assigned to them and identify possible dangers.
► Ensure the work area is well lit and keep it in good order.
► For the entire duration of servicing, maintenance and repair work, switch
off the power source, and the gas and compressed-air supply, and
disconnect the mains connection.
► For disposal, observe the local regulations, laws, provisions, standards
and guidelines.
