Safety instructions

WARNING! Electric shock! There is a risk of an injury caused by electric shock!
** Operation is only allowed with a safety switch against stray current (RCD max. stray current of 30mA).
IP21 protection degree of the welder. The welder must not be exposed to rain and moisture when being operated or stored.
Check the voltage. Technical data given on the type label must correspond with the electric network voltage. Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage, and frequency complying with current regulations.
Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and with a cable cross- section of not less than 1.5 mm2. The use of extension cables of different lengths and cross-sections and also of adapters and multiple sockets should be avoided.
Check the cable and/or socket for damages before the appliance putting into operation.
A defective cable or plug may cause an electric shock. Do not pull the service cable to pull the plug out of the socket.
Do not expose yourself or other persons without protection to an electric arc or hot metal. Spraying welding pearls may cause burns.
A suitable welding shield, protective clothes, and protective gloves are to be worn at all times.
Long-term inhalation of welding gases may be harmful to your health. Work with an exhaust system or in well-ventilated spaces.
Avoid direct inhalation of gases. Contact with the hose bundle nozzle and the material being processed may cause burns. Special welding gloves are to be worn at all times. Let the hose bundle nozzle and the material being processed cool down after being operated.
Long-term working with the appliance may damage hearing.  Hearing protection is to be used at all times.
Make sure the welding smoke is exhausted or the place of welding is ventilated well.
Hot slag and sparks may cause fire or explosion. Never use the appliance in a flammable environment.
Wood, sawdust, „varnishes“, petrol, kerosine, natural gas, acetylene, propane and similar flammable materials must be removed from the place of work, and the surrounding area r protected against sparks flying away.
To extinguish the fire, a suitable fire extinguisher must be made ready nearby.
No welding or cutting on closed vessels and pipes.
No welding or cutting on vessels and pipes if they are open, containing materials able to explode due to heat or moisture or able to cause other dangerous reactions.
Never use the welder to defrost frozen pipes.
Before putting it into operation, a qualified electrician must check whether the electric safety measures required are in place. Any national regulations in this regard must be complied with.
Protect the circuit with slow-acting fuses of an appropriate size and a mains breaker switch.
Class A (IEC 60974-10):**
If you intend to use the apparatus in residential surroundings supplied by the low voltage mains supply, an electromagnetic filter may be required to suppress electrical disturbance to a level where it will no longer be a nuisance to the user.
The apparatus may be used in industrial or other areas where power is not supplied by municipal LV mains.
Class A apparatuses are not intended for use in residential areas where power is supplied via municipal LV mains, since unfavorable power conditions may cause interference.
As a user, you must make sure, after consultation with your energy provider, if necessary, that your point of connection on which the machine is to be operated meets the requirements above.
The user is responsible for faults arising from the welding.
