Safety rules

Explanation of

safety notices DANGER!

Indicates immediate danger.

▶If not avoided, death or serious injury will result.

WARNING!

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation.

▶If not avoided, death or serious injury may result.

CAUTION!

Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur.

▶If not avoided, minor injury and/or damage to property may result.

NOTE!

Indicates a risk of ﬂawed results and possible damage to the equipment.

General The device is manufactured using state-of-the-art technology and according to

recognised safety standards. If used incorrectly or misused, however, it can

cause:

-injury or death to the operator or a third party,

-damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operating

company,

-inefficient operation of the device.

All persons involved in commissioning, operating, maintaining and servicing the

device must:

-be suitably qualified,

-have sufficient knowledge of welding and

-read and follow these operating instructions carefully.

The operating instructions must always be at hand wherever the device is being

used. In addition to the operating instructions, attention must also be paid to any

generally applicable and local regulations regarding accident prevention and en-

vironmental protection.

All safety and danger notices on the device

-must be in a legible state,

-must not be damaged,

-must not be removed,

-must not be covered, pasted or painted over.

For the location of the safety and danger notices on the device, refer to the sec-

tion headed "General" in the operating instructions for the device.

Before switching on the device, rectify any faults that could compromise safety.

This is for your personal safety!

Proper use The device is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose.

The device is intended solely for the welding processes specified on the rating

plate.

Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer

shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.

Proper use includes:

-carefully reading and following all the instructions given in the operating in-

structions

-studying and obeying all safety and danger notices carefully

-performing all stipulated inspection and maintenance work.

Never use the device for the following purposes:

-Thawing out pipes

-Charging batteries

-Starting engines

The device is designed for use in industry and the workshop. The manufacturer

accepts no responsibility for any damage caused through use in a domestic set-

ting.

The manufacturer likewise accepts no liability for inadequate or incorrect results.

Environmental

conditions

Operation or storage of the device outside the stipulated area will be deemed as

not in accordance with the intended purpose. The manufacturer shall not be held

liable for any damage arising from such usage.

Ambient temperature range:

-during operation: -10 °C to + 40 °C (14 °F to 104 °F)

-during transport and storage: -20 °C to +55 °C (-4 °F to 131 °F)

Relative humidity:

-up to 50% at 40 °C (104 °F)

-up to 90% at 20 °C (68 °F)

The surrounding air must be free from dust, acids, corrosive gases or substances,

etc.

Can be used at altitudes of up to 2000 m (6561 ft. 8.16 in.)

Obligations of

the operator

The operator must only allow persons to work with the device who:

-are familiar with the fundamental instructions regarding safety at work and

accident prevention and have been instructed in how to use the device

-have read and understood these operating instructions, especially the sec-

tion "safety rules", and have confirmed as much with their signatures

-are trained to produce the required results.

Checks must be carried out at regular intervals to ensure that operators are

working in a safety-conscious manner.

Obligations of

personnel

Before using the device, all persons instructed to do so undertake:

-to observe the basic instructions regarding safety at work and accident pre-

vention

-to read these operating instructions, especially the "Safety rules" section and

sign to confirm that they have understood them and will follow them.

Before leaving the workplace, ensure that people or property cannot come to any

harm in your absence.

Mains connec-

tion

Devices with a higher rating may affect the energy quality of the mains due to

their current consumption.

This may affect a number device types in terms of:

-Connection restrictions

-Criteria with regard to the maximum permissible mains impedance *)

-Criteria with regard to the minimum short-circuit power requirement *)

*) at the interface with the public grid

see "Technical data"

In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check

whether the device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the mat-

ter with the power supply company.

IMPORTANT! Ensure that the mains connection is earthed properly

Residual current

protective

device

Local regulations and national guidelines may require a residual current protect-

ive device when connecting equipment to the public grid.

The type of residual current protective device recommended by the manufac-

turer for the equipment is indicated in the technical data.

Protecting your-

self and others

Anyone working with the device exposes themselves to numerous risks, e.g.

-ﬂying sparks and hot pieces of metal

-Arc radiation, which can damage eyes and skin

-Hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can endanger the lives of those us-

ing cardiac pacemakers

-Risk of electrocution from mains current and welding current

-Greater noise pollution

-Harmful welding fumes and gases

Suitable protective clothing must be worn when working with the device. The

protective clothing must have the following properties:

-Flame-resistant

-Insulating and dry

-Covers the whole body, is undamaged and in good condition

-Safety helmet

-Trousers with no turn-ups

Protective clothing refers to a variety of different items. Operators should:

-Protect eyes and face from UV rays, heat and sparks using a protective visor

and regulation filter

-Wear regulation protective goggles with side protection behind the protect-

ive visor

-Wear stout footwear that provides insulation even in wet conditions

-Protect the hands with suitable gloves (electrically insulated and providing

protection against heat)

-Wear ear protection to reduce the harmful effects of noise and to prevent in-
