Use the handle to ensure the power connections are tight before every use. In the case of power cables with a bayonet connector, rotate the power cable around the longitudinal axis by at least 180° and pre-load.
Do not wrap cables or leads around the body or parts of the body.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician to ensure the ground conductor is functioning properly.
7
The device must only be operated on a mains supply with a ground conductor and a socket with a ground conductor contact.
If the device is operated on a grid without a ground conductor and in a socket without a ground conductor contact, this will be deemed gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
If necessary, provide an adequate earth connection for the workpiece.
Switch off unused devices.
Before working on the device, switch it off and pull out the mains plug.
Attach a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to the device to prevent anyone from plugging the mains plug back in and switching it on again.

All lifting accessories (straps, handles, chains, etc.) used in connection with the device or its components must be tested regularly (e.g. for mechanical damage,
9
corrosion or changes caused by other environmental factors). The testing interval and scope of testing must comply with applicable national standards and directives as a minimum.
Danger from shielding gas cyl­inders
Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under pressure and can explode if damaged. As the shielding gas cylinders are part of the welding equipment, they must be handled with the greatest of care.
Protect shielding gas cylinders containing compressed gas from excessive heat, mechanical impact, slag, naked flames, sparks and arcs.
Mount the shielding gas cylinders vertically and secure according to instructions to prevent them falling over.
Keep the shielding gas cylinders well away from any welding or other electrical circuits.
Never hang a welding torch on a shielding gas cylinder.
Never touch a shielding gas cylinder with an electrode.
Risk of explosion - never attempt to weld a pressurised shielding gas cylinder.
Only use shielding gas cylinders suitable for the application in hand, along with the correct and appropriate accessories (regulator, hoses and fittings). Only use shielding gas cylinders and accessories that are in good condition.
Turn your face to one side when opening the valve of a shielding gas cylinder.
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve if no welding is taking place.
Safety measures at the installa­tion location and during transport
If the shielding gas cylinder is not connected, leave the valve cap in place on the cylinder.
The manufacturer's instructions must be observed as well as applicable national and international regulations for shielding gas cylinders and accessories.
A device toppling over could easily kill someone. Place the device on a solid, level surface such that it remains stable
The maximum permissible tilt angle is 10°.
