Electrical safety instructions
Do not use power tools in explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite
liquids, gases, or dust.
Welding equipment can cause power cuts due to high
power consumption. The use of the flux-cored welding
machine in residential areas can cause the breakdown
of other electrical appliances.
During the operation of the flux-cored welding machine
electromagnetic problems may occur in:
▪ Power cords, signal and telecommunication cables,
near the flux-cored welding machine;
▪ TV and radio transmitters and receivers;
▪ Computers and other control units;
▪ Protection devices, for example alarm systems;
▪ Pacemakers and hearing aids;
▪ Calibration or measurement devices;
▪ In equipment with too low ability of interference
resistance;
