Safety instructions

Please read the operating instructions with care and observe the notes described. Familiarise yourself with the device, its proper use and the safety instructions using these operating instructions. The rating plate contains all technical data of this welder; please learn about the technical features of this device.

  • WARNING Keep the packaging material away from small children. There is a risk of suffocation!
  • Repairs or/and maintenance work must only be carried out by qualified electricians.
  • During operation the device should not be covered or jammed between other devices. Make sure that the device is correctly connected to the mains voltage. Avoid any form of tensile stress of the power cable.
  • Only remove the electrodes from the holder after allowing them to cool down for 15 minutes.
  • Resistance welding creates sparks, molten metal parts and smoke. Therefore ensure that: All flammable substances and/or materials are removed from the workplace and its immediate surrounding.
  • Ensure the workplace is ventilated.
  • Do not weld on containers, vessels or tubes that contain or con-tained flammable liquids or gases.
  • WARNING Avoid any form of direct contact with the welding current circuit. The no-load voltage between the electrode holders can be dangerous, there is a risk of electric shock.
  • WARNING Do not store or use the device in a damp or wet environment or in the rain. Protection rating IP20 is applicable in this case.
  • Protect your eyes from welding sparks using certified safety goggles (EN 166). Wear gloves and dry protective clothing that are free of oil and grease to protect the skin from welding sparks.
  • Do not use the welding power source to defrost pipes.
  • Keep any body parts away from the space between the welding arms. Risk of crushing! Do not touch the welding arms. Risk of electric shock! Risk of burns!

Please note:

  • Resistance welding creates sparks and drops of melted metal. The welded workpiece starts to glow and remains hot for a relatively long period of time. Therefore, do not touch the workpiece with bare hands.
  • Resistance welding can cause vapours to be released that may be hazardous to health. Be careful not to inhale these vapours.
  • Protect yourself from the harmful effects of the welding procedure and keep people not involved in the work at a distance of 2 m away from the workplace.

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 welder, other devices may malfunction, e. g. hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, etc.

Potential hazards during resistance welding

  • There are a series of potential hazards that can occur during resistance welding. It is therefore particularly important for the welder to observe the following rules to avoid endangering him/herself and others and to prevent damage to people and the device.
  • Work on the mains voltage side, e.g. on cables, plugs, sockets etc., may only be carried out by qualified electricians according 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 electrician.
  • Always ensure good electrical contacts on the welding current side.
  • Always wear insulating gloves on both hands during welding work. These provide protection from electrical shocks (no-load voltage of the welding current circuit), harmful radiations (heat and UV radiation) and incandescent metal and splashes of slag.
  • Wear sturdy, insulating shoes. The shoes should also insulate when exposed to moisture. Loafers are not suitable as falling incandescent metal droplets can cause burns.
  • Wear suitable protective clothing, no synthetic garments.
  • Do not work without work protection, only use certified eye protection (EN 166).
  • Any persons in the vicinity of the work area or helpers must also be informed of the dangers and be equipped with the necessary protective equipment. If necessary, set up protective walls.
  • Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air whilst welding, particularly in small spaces, as welding produces smoke and harmful gases.
  • No welding work may be carried out on containers that have been used for storing gases, fuels, mineral oils or similar – even if they have been empty for a long time – as possible residues may present a risk of explosion.
  • Special regulations apply in rooms where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
  • Welded joints that are subject to heavy stress loads and are required to comply with certain safety requirements may only be carried out by specially trained and certified welders. Examples of this are pressure vessels, running rails, tow bars, car bodies, etc.
  • Do not use the welder in the rain.
  • Do not use the welder in a moist environment.
  • Only place the welder on a level surface.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK :

  • Electric shock from a welding 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 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 welding location. Do not weld near flammable materials. 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.
  • Welding sparks can injure your eyes and skin. Wear a hat and safety goggles. Wear high, closed shirt collars. Wear complete body protection.

DANGER FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS:

  • Welding current generates electromagnetic fields. Do not use if you have a medical implant. Never wrap the mains cable around your body. Guide welding cables together.

Environment with increased electrical hazard
When welding in environments with increased electrical hazard, the following safety instructions must be observed. Environments with increased electrical hazard may be encountered, for example:

  • In workplaces where the space for movement is restricted,
    such that the welder is working in a forced posture (e.g.: kneeling, sitting, lying) and is touching electrically conductive parts;

  • In workplaces which are restricted completely or in part in terms of electrical conductivity and where there is a high risk through avoidable or accidental touching by the welder;

  • In wet, humid or hot workplaces where the air humidity or sweat significantly reduces the resistance of human skin and the insulating properties or effect of protective equipment.

  • Even a metal conductor or scaffolding can create an environment with increased electrical hazard.

  • In this type of environment, insulated mats and pads must be used. Furthermore gauntlet gloves and head protection made of leather or other insulating materials must be worn to insulate the body against Earth. The welding power source must be located outside the working area or electrically conductive surfaces and out of the welder’s reach.
    Additional protection against a shock from the mains current in the event of a fault can be provided by using a fault-circuit interrupter, which is operated with a leakage current of no more than 30 mA and covers all mains-powered devices in close proximity. The fault-circuit interrupter must be suitable for all types of current.
    There must be means of rapid electrical isolation of the welding power source or the welding circuit (e.g. emergency stop device) which are easily accessible.
    This welder must not be used under hazardous conditions.

Welding in tight spaces

  • When welding in tight spaces this may pose a hazard through toxic gases (risk of suffocation).
  • In tight spaces you may only weld if there are trained individuals in the immediate vicinity who can intervene if necessary.
  • In this case, before starting the welding procedure, an expert must carry out an assessment in order to determine what steps are necessary, in order to guarantee safety at work and which precautionary measures should be taken during the actual welding procedure.

Protective clothing

  • At work, the welder must protect his/her whole body by using appropriate clothing and face protection against welding sparks and burns. The following steps must be observed:
    • Wear protective clothing prior to welding work
    • Wear gloves.
    • Open windows or use fans to guarantee air supply.
    • Wear safety goggles and face mask.
  • Gauntlet gloves made of a suitable material (leather) must be worn on both hands. They must be in perfect condition.
  • A suitable apron must be worn to protect clothing from flying sparks and burns. When specific work, e.g. overhead welding, is required, a protective suit must be worn and, if necessary, even head protection.

PROTECTION AGAINST RAYS AND BURNS

  • Warn of the danger to the eyes by hanging up a sign
    saying “Caution! Do not look into flames!” in the work area. The workplaces must be shielded so that the persons in the vicinity are protected. Unauthorised persons must be kept away from welding work.
