2. Safety Information
2.1Specified conditions of use
This welding machine is intended for welding all metals.
The welding machine and the accessory kit supplied conform to the relevant regu- lations applicable at the time of delivery.
This welding machine is intended for operation by professional arc weldors or specialists of similar qualification.
Permissible welding processes:
−Manual arc welding
−TIG DC (with optional accessories) for all metals, except aluminium.
For machine performance see “Techni- cal Specifications”.
Any other use is not as specified and prohibited.
Unspecified use, modification of the machine or use of parts not tested and approved by the equipment manufac- turer could cause unforeseeable dam- age!
2.2General safety informa- tion
•When using this machine, observe the following safety instructions to exclude the risk of personal injury or material damage.
•Follow the specific safety instruc- tions in the respective chapters.
•Follow the legal directives or regula- tions for the prevention of accidents pertaining to the handling of arc welding machines.
BDanger!Electric potential!
•Use the machine indoors and in dry environment only.
•Connect the machine only to a prop- erly earthed outlet.
If in doubt check with a qualified electrician!
ENGLISH
•Service and repairs to the machine must only be made by qualified elec- tricians.
•Unplug before removing the machine's cover.
ADanger!
•Wear sufficient protective clothing when welding.
•Always use a welding visor and welder's gloves.
They provide protection against fly- ing sparks and arc radiation.
•All metal fumes are detrimental to health!
When working indoors ensure suffi- cient ventilation and extraction in order to not exceed the max. per- missible workplace pollutant con- centration.
The fumes of lead, cadmium, cop- per, chromium, nickel, zinc and beryllium are particularly harmful!
A Caution!
•Never weld earthed metal.
Welding earthed metal may cause damage to the protective earth con- ductors by stray currents.
•Never use the welding machine for thawing pipes.
•Always attach the earth cable directly to the weld metal and as close as possible to the welding spot.
•Always carry the welding machine at the carrying strap when transport- ing it.
•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.
