Safety
Hazard-free working with the machine
is only possible if you read the operat-
ing and safety instructions completely
and strictly observe them.
Please obtain practical training before
using the machine for the first time.
Follow the accident prevention regula-
tions (UVV
Remove all solvents, degreasers, and
other flammable materials from the
working area before starting welding.
Cover flammable materials which can
not be moved.
Only weld if the ambient air contains
no high concentrations of dust, acidic
vapours, gases or flammable substanc-
es. Special care must be taken during
repair work on pipe systems and tanks
which contain or have contained flam-
mable liquids or gases.
Never touch live parts inside or outside
of the housing.
Do not expose the machine to rain; do
not clean with sprays or steam jets.
Always use a protection shield when
welding. Warn anyone in the work area
about the dangers of arc rays.
Please use a suitable extraction system
for gases and cutting vapours. Always
wear breathing apparatus whenever
there is a risk of inhaling welding or
cutting fumes.
If the power cable is damaged or sev-
ered while working, do not touch the
cable, but immediately pull out the
mains plug. Never use a machine if the
mains cable is damaged.

Service and repair work may only be carried out
by a trained electrician.
Ensure that there is good direct contact for the
ground cable immediately beside the weld
point. Do not pass the welding current through
chains, ball bearings, steel cables, grounding
conductors, etc., as it could cause these to melt.
Secure yourself and the welding machine when
working in elevated or inclined areas.
The machine should be connected only to a
properly grounded mains supply. (Three-phase
four-wire system with grounded neutral con-
ductor or single phase-three-wire system with
grounded neutral conductor) socket and ex-
tension cable must have a functional protective
conductor.
Wear protective clothing, leather gloves and a
leather apron.
Protect the welding area with curtains or mo-
bile screens.
Do not use welding equipment to thaw out fro-
zen water pipes or lines.
In closed containers, under cramped condi-
tions, and in high electrical risk areas, only use
machines with the S sign.
When taking a break, switch off the machine
and close the valve on the gas cylinder.
Secure the gas cylinder with a chain to prevent
it falling over.
Disconnect the mains plug from the mains be-
fore changing the place of installation or mak-
ing repairs to the machine.
Please heed the safety regulations which apply
to your country. Subject to change.

Keep a fire extinguisher near the weld-
ing area. Check the welding area for
fire after welding (see Accident preven-

Never try to disassemble the pressure
reducer. Replace the pressure reducer
if faulty.
The machine must be transported or

tion for setting up or transporting is 10°.
