machines must be observed.
supplier
The following information should be
observed as well for a safe and risk-free
handling of the welding machine!
Danger!
Electric potential!
− Use the machine indoors and in dry
environment only.
− Connect the machine only to an
properly earthed outlet.
If in doubt check with a qualified
electrician!
− Service and repairs to the machines
must only be made by qualified elec-
tricians.
− Unplug
machine's cover.

electric arc welding
before removing the
ENGLISH
cient ventilation and extraction in
order to not exceed the max. per-
missible workplace pollutant con-
centration.
Fumes of lead, cadmium, copper,
zinc and beryllium are especially
harmful!
Caution!
− Never weld earthed metal.
This will prevent possible damage to
the protective earth conductors by
stray welding currents.
− Always attach the earth cable
directly to the weld metal and as
close as possible to the welding
spot.
− Special care is required when work-
ing near computers, electronically
controlled equipment or in the prox-
imity of magnetic data media (sound
recording tapes, floppy disks, data
recording tapes, credit cards, etc.).
The arc start can cause misfunction
of this type of equipment or data
loss.
