painful conjunctivitis which
is not apparent until several
hours later. Furthermore, UV
radiation can cause burns with
sunburn-like effects on unpro-
tected parts of the body.
Any persons in the vicinity
„
of the electric arc or helpers
must also be informed of the
dangers and be equipped
with the necessary protective
equipment. If necessary, set up
protective walls.
Ensure an adequate supply
„
of fresh air whilst welding,
particularly in small spaces,
as it produces smoke and
harmful gases.
No welding work may be
„
carried out on containers that
have been used for storing
gases, fuels, mineral oils or
similar – even if they have
been empty for a long time –
as possible residues may
present a risk of explosion.
Special regulations apply in
„
rooms where there is a risk
of fire or explosion.
Welded joints that are subject
„
to heavy stress loads and are
required to comply with certain
safety requirements may only
be carried out by specially
trained and certified welders.
Examples of this are pressure
vessels, running rails, tow
bars, etc.
ATTENTION! Always connect
the earth terminal as close as
possible to the point of weld to
provide the shortest possible path
for the welding current from the
electrode to the earth terminal.
Never connect the earth terminal
to the housing of the welding
device! Never connect the earth
terminal to earthed parts far away
from the workpiece, e.g. a water
pipe in another corner of the
room. This could otherwise dam-
age the protective bonding system
of the room you are welding.
Do not use the welding device
„
in the rain.
Do not use the welding device
„
in a moist environment.
Only place the welding device
„
on a level surface.
The output is rated at an ambi-
„
ent temperature of 20 °C. The
welding time can be reduced
at higher temperatures.
Risk of electric shock:
Electric shock from the
welding electrode can be
fatal. Do not weld in rain or
snow. Wear dry insulating gloves.
Do not touch the electrodes with
