gases. Avoid all direct contact with the
welding circuit; the idling voltage between
the electrode holder and the earth terminal
may be dangerous.
Do not store or use the equipment in wet or
damp conditions or in the rain.
Protect your eyes with specially designed
goggles (DIN level 9-10), which you can
attach to the supplied welding screen. Wear
gloves and dry safety clothing that are not
contaminated by any oil or grease to ensure
that your skin is not exposed to ultraviolet
radiation from the arc.
Do not use this welder to defrost pipes.
Make sure that the equipment is set up so it
stands firmly. If the equipment is set up on
an angled surface, it may need to be
secured by tying or blocking the wheels.
Hazard!
The radiation from the arc can damage your
eyes and cause burns on skin.
Arc welding generates sparks and droplets of
molten metal; the welded workpiece may start
to glow and will remain very hot for a relatively
long period of time. Never touch the workpiece
with bare hands.
Arc welding releases vapors that may be
harmful. Every electric shock is potentially fatal.
Do not approach the arc within a radius of 15 m
unprotected.
Protect yourself (and others around you)
against the possible hazardous effects of the
arc.
Warning: depending on the mains connection
conditions at the connection point of the
welding set, other consumers connected to the
mains may suffer faults.
Warning!
If the supply mains and circuits are overloaded,
other consumers may suffer interference during
the welding work. If you have any doubts,
contact your electricity supply company.

Sources of danger during arc welding
Hazard!
Arc welding results in a number of sources of
danger. It is therefore particularly important for
the welder to comply with the following rules so
as not to place himself or others in danger and
to avoid endangering people and equipment.
Have all work on the mains voltage system,
for example on cables, plugs, sockets, etc.,
performed only by trained electricians. This
particularly applies to configuring
intermediate cables.
If an accident occurs, disconnect the
welding power source from the mains
immediately.
If electric touch voltages occur, switch off
the welding set immediately and have it
checked by an expert.
Always check for good electrical contacts on
the welding current side.
Wear insulating gloves on both hands for
welding. These offer protection from electric
shocks (idling voltage in the welding circuit),
harmful radiation (heat and UV radiation)
and from glowing metal and slag spatter.
Wear firm, insulated footwear. Your shoes
must also be suitable to protect you in wet
conditions. Open-toed footwear is not
suitable since falling droplets of glowing
metal will cause burns.
Wear suitable clothing, do not wear
synthetic clothes.
Do not look into the arc with unprotected
eyes, use only a welding screen with the
proper safety glass in compliance with DIN
standards. In addition to light and heat,
which may cause dazzling and burns, the
arc also gives off UV radiation. Without
proper protection, this invisible ultraviolet
radiation causes very painful conjunctivitis,
which will only be noticeable several hours
later. In addition, UV radiation will cause
harmful sunburn-type symptoms on
unprotected parts of the body.
Personnel or assistants in the vicinity of the
arc must also be notified of the dangers and
provided with the required protection; if
necessary install safety walls.
