•
Use gloves and protective clothing that are dry
and not drenched in oil or dirt.
•
The slag to be chipped off is sometimes
glowing hot and can cause serious eye injuries
during removal. Always wear protective
goggles and gloves.
•
Ultraviolet radiation can burn your skin during
welding. So always wear suitable protective
clothing.
•
Your welding appliance is protected against
overloading. The welding appliance therefore
automatically switches off if it overloads. The
welding appliance automatically switches on
again after it has cooled sufficiently.
•
During welding and cooling your workpiece
can deform due to stresses. Always bear this
in mind.
•
Only the welding cables included in the
delivery kit may be used (Ø 10
welding cable).
•
Special regulations apply to areas at risk of
fire or explosions.
•
Welded connections that are exposed to high
stress and which must fulfill certain safety
requirements may only be carried out by
specially trained and certified welders. Some
examples are: Pressure vessels, slide rails,
tow couplings, etc.
•
Important: Always connect the ground terminal
as close as possible to the weld spot in such a
way that the welding current can take the
shortest possible path from the electrode to the
ground terminal. Never connect the ground
terminal to the housing of the welding device!
Never connect the ground terminal to grounded
components that are located far away from the
workpiece, e.g., to a water pipe in another
corner of the room. Otherwise, the protective
conductor system of the room in which you are
welding could become damaged.
•
The fusing of the supply lines to the power
outlets must correspond to regulations (VDE
0100). Protective contact outlets may be fused
with a max of 16A (types and technical data:
RT14-20, Ø 10 x 38, AC 400 V 16A. IEC
60269. slow blow. Manufacturer: Chint) (fuses
or line-protection switches). Higher amperage
fuses can lead to burnt cables or fire damage
to the building.

•
Make sure that the welding appliance and
mm
2
electric wiring connections are properly made.
Any likelihood of electric shock can endanger
life.
•
Always ensure good connections, both of the
electrode holder and the earth terminal.
•
Do not allow electrical cables to be damaged
by pulling. Disconnect cables before you move
the welding appliance.
•
Avoid contact with the electrically conductive
part of the welding appliance, the electrode
holder and the earth terminal.
•
Always check that your mains voltage
corresponds to the value on the type plate of
the machine.
•
With the replacement of cables or plugs:
Throw away old cables or plugs as soon as
they have been replaced by new ones.
Inserting a loose cable plug in a plug socket is
dangerous.
•
For all welding appliances working on 230
Volts use at least 16 Ampere fusing
•
When use is made of extension leads: Use
only an approved extension lead that is
suitable for the machine power. The cores
must have a diameter of at least 1.5
the cord fully out if the extension cord is on a
reel.
•
Only allow qualified electricians to work on the
supply voltage end, e.g., on cables, plug-in
connectors, outlets, etc.
Switch off the machine at once if:
•
There is a defect in the mains plug,
power cable or there is damage to the
cable.
•
Defective switch.
•
You see smoke or smell burnt
insulation.
Warning! Depending on the supply mains
conditions at the point of connection, the
welding power source may cause
interference to the supply to other
electricity users. If there is any doubt
about this question advice should be
sought from the electricity supply
authority.
