earth terminal to earthed parts
far away from the workpiece,
e.g. a water pipe in another
corner of the room. This could
otherwise damage the pro-
tective bonding system of the
room you are welding.
Do not use the welder in a
moist environment.
Only place the welder on a
level surface.
Do not use the welder in the
rain.
The output is rated at an ambi-
ent temperature of 20 °C. The
welding time may be reduced
in higher temperatures.
Risk of electric shock:
Electric shock from a weld-
ing electrode can be fatal. Do not
weld in rain or snow. Wear dry
insulating gloves.
Do not touch the electrodes with
bare hands. Do not wear wet or
damaged gloves. Protect yourself
from electric shock with insulation
against the workpiece. Do not
open the device housing.
Danger from welding
fumes:
Inhalation of welding fumes can
endanger health. Do not keep
your head in the fumes. Use the
12
GB/IE/NI/CY/MT
equipment in open areas. Use
extractors to remove the fumes.
Danger from welding
sparks:
Welding sparks can cause an
explosion or fire. Keep flammable
substances away from the weld-
ing location. Do not weld next to
flammable substances. Welding
sparks can cause fires. Keep a
fire extinguisher close by and an
observer should be present to be
able to use it immediately. Do
not weld on drums or any other
closed containers.
Danger from arc beams:
Arc beams can damage your
eyes and injure your skin.
Wear a hat and safety goggles.
Wear hearing protection and
high, closed shirt collars. Wear
welding safety helmets and filter
sizes in perfect condition. Wear
complete body protection.
Danger from electromag-
netic fields:
Welding current generates
electromagnetic fields. Do not use
if you have a medical implant.
Never wrap the welding cable
around your body. Guide weld-
ing cables together.
