Safety instructions
General safety instructions – Part 1
• Keep your workplace tidy. An untidy workplace increases the risk of
accident.
• Keep children at a safe distance. Do not allow third parties to touch the
machine or the cable.
• It is imperative to comply with the safety regulations in the respective
country.
• Always wear the correct personal protective equipment when working.
Personal protective equipment includes: safety goggles, safety gloves,
safety shoes, closely fitting working clothes.
• When working on a roof it is possible for the tool or the operator to
accumulate a static charge. For this reason, we recommend that
anti-static clothing and anti-static shoes be worn and/or the use of
anti-static sprays.
• The induction welding tool and the magnets may have an effect
on the function of cardiac pacemakers and implanted defibrillators.
It is possible that cardiac pacemakers switch to test mode and cause
discomfort. It is possible that defibrillators cease to function. If you are
fitted with any such instruments, you must keep a minimum distance of
50 cm from the inductor (also hand inductor) and the magnets. You must
warn persons fitted with such instruments against coming too close to
the magnets and inductors.
• Do not hold any objects containing metal in the direct proximity of
the inductor (e.g. watches, jewellery, keys, mobile phones, hearing
equipment, implants etc.).
• The isoweld
process. There is a risk of burns when touching the stress plates
immediately following the welding process.
• Take account of environmental influences. Do not expose the induction
welding tool to rain. Do not use the induction welding tool in damp or wet
conditions. Ensure that you have good lighting. Do not use the induction
welding tool in the proximity of flammable liquids or gases.
• Connect the tool to a socket with protective earth conductor. Any
breakage/disconnection of the protective conductor inside or outside of
the tool is potentially dangerous! Only use extension cables with an
earth conductor!
• The mains voltage must be as stated on the generator type plate.
• When the tool is used on building sites, the RCD switch is a mandatory
FI
requirement for personal protection.
• Place the electric cable (supply cable) in a suitable location. Ensure that
it does not constitute a trip hazard and does not wear through. Regularly
check the electric cable, inductor cable and temperature cable for
damage.
• In the open, only use extension cables approved and marked for this
purpose.
• Never start the welding process while the supply cable is under the tool.
Ensure that the cable is far enough away from the inductor during the
work process.
