the welding power source to
defrost pipes.
Please note:
The light radiation emitted by
the arc can damage eyes and
cause burns to the skin.
Arc welding creates sparks
and drops of melted metal.
The welded workpiece starts
to glow and remains hot
for a relatively long period.
Therefore, do not touch the
workpiece with bare hands.
Arc welding can cause
vapours to be released that
may be hazardous to health.
Be careful not to inhale these
vapours.
Protect yourself from the harm-
ful effects of the arc and keep
people that are not involved
in the work away from the arc
maintaining a distance of at
least 2 m.
ATTENTION!
During the operation of the
welder, other consumers may
experience problems with the
voltage supply depending on
the network conditions at the
connection point. In case of
doubt, please contact your
energy supply company.
During the operation of the
10
GB/IE/NI/CY/MT
welder, other devices may
malfunction, e.g. hearing aids,
cardiac pacemakers, etc.
z Potential hazards during
arc welding
There are a series of potential
hazards that can occur during
arc welding. It is therefore par-
ticularly important for the welder
to observe the following rules to
avoid endangering him/herself
and others and to prevent dam-
age to people and the device.
Work on the voltage side, e.g.
on cables, plugs, sockets etc.,
may only be carried out by
qualified electricians accord-
ing to national and local
regulations.
In the event of accidents,
disconnect the welder from the
mains voltage immediately.
If electrical contact voltages
occur, switch off the device
immediately and have it
checked by a qualified electri-
cian.
Always ensure good electrical
contacts on the welding current
side.
Always wear insulating gloves
on both hands during welding
