1.1
Information on the operating manual
This operating manual contains important information on the use of the device. A precondition
for operator safety is the compliance with all the safety precautions and working instructions.
Furthermore, observe any and all local accident prevention regulations as well as any and all
general safety regulations which may apply to the operation of this equipment.
Read and understand the operating manual carefully prior to operating the devise! This manual
forms an integral part of the devise and must be stored where it is readily available to the personnel in the vicinity of the operator at all times.
1.2
Explanation of symbols
Warnings
This manual uses symbols to highlight important safety information. In addition, there is always a signal word heading the information indicating the severity of the danger or hazard that
may be encountered.
Observe such information at all times and work carefully to avoid accidents, personal injury
and damage to property.
… indicates a situation that is imminently dangerous and will entail the
death of people and severe injuries unless properly avoided and prevented..
… indicates a situation that may become dangerous and may entail the
death of people and severe injuries unless it is properly avoided and
prevented.
… draws attention to a potentially dangerous situation which can lead to
slight or minor injuries if not avoided.

1.3
Warnings for operating resistance welding equipment
When operating resistance welding equipment, the operator must observe the accident prevention regulations
BGV B11 (Electromagnetic Fields) and the BG rules BGR B11. The
power pack and cables of the welding gun and spot welding pliers generate a strong electromagnetic field during operation. Electromagnetic
fields can cause irritation to sensory organs, nerve and muscle cells and
malfunctions of medical aids (hearing aids, heart pacemakers, etc.) and
of electronic devices and data storage systems.
Transformer pliers:
Ensure the exposure limits of the EU Directive 2004/40/EC and the identical basic values of accident prevention regulation BGV B11 perpendicularly to the pliers window are duly observed for distances of 20 cm.
Shorter distances may be necessary in some cases.
Only very low flux densities occur in the area of the welding cables at the
transformer pliers. The admissible values are not exceeded even at the
surface of the power supply cable package. Maintaining a distance of 1
cm between the cable package and your head or spine is recommended.
Furthermore, long lengths of cable along your spine should be avoided.
The distances here refer to the distance between the centre of the welding window and the head and spinal cord of the welder operator. In most
applications, this distance can be kept without the need for further
measures due to the operator's body dimensions. Any auxiliary persons
("2nd man") must also observe these distances.
Further information on dealing with magnetic fields:
• Magnetic fields occur only during the welding process (current flow
times).
• Do not touch the electrodes with your head during the welding process and do not put your head through the welding window.
• Do not allow the welding cable to run along your spine.
