Electric shock!
Welding machines use high voltages which can result in potentially fatal electric shocks
and burns on contact. Even low voltages can cause you to get a shock and lead to
accidents.
•
Do not touch any live parts in or on the machine!
•
Connection cables and leads must be free of faults!
•
Switching off alone is not sufficient!
•
Place welding torch and stick electrode holder on an insulated surface!
•
The unit should only be opened by specialist staff after the mains plug has been unplugged!
•
Only wear dry protective clothing!
•
Wait for 4 minutes until the capacitors have discharged!
Electromagnetic fields!
The power source may cause electrical or electromagnetic fields to be produced which
could affect the correct functioning of electronic equipment such as IT or CNC devices,
telecommunication lines, power cables, signal lines and pacemakers.
•
Observe the maintenance instructions! (see Maintenance and Testing chapter)
•
Unwind welding leads completely!
•
Shield devices or equipment sensitive to radiation accordingly!
•
The correct functioning of pacemakers may be affected (obtain advice from a doctor if
necessary).
Do not carry out any unauthorised repairs or modifications!
To avoid injury and equipment damage, the unit must only be repaired or modified by
specialist, skilled persons!
The warranty becomes null and void in the event of unauthorised interference.
•
Appoint only skilled persons for repair work (trained service personnel)!
Risk of accidents if these safety instructions are not observed!
Non-observance of these safety instructions is potentially fatal!
•
Carefully read the safety information in this manual!
•
Observe the accident prevention regulations in your country.
•
Inform persons in the working area that they must observe the regulations!
Risk of injury due to radiation or heat!
Arc radiation results in injury to skin and eyes.
Contact with hot workpieces and sparks results in burns.
•
Use welding shield or welding helmet with the appropriate safety level (depending on the
application)!
•
Wear dry protective clothing (e.g. welding shield, gloves, etc.) according to the relevant
regulations in the country in question!
