Potential hazards
There are a number of potential hazards that can occur during arc welding. It is therefore particularly important for the welder to comply with the following rules to avoid endangering himself or others and prevent injuries or damage to the appliance.
Do not use this flux-core welder on a surface that is inclined by more than 10°.
Work on the voltage side, e.g. on cables, plugs, sockets, etc., may only be carried out by qualified specialists. This applies especially to the fitting of intermediary cables.
In the event of an accident, disconnect immediately from the welding power source.
If electrical contact voltages occur, switch o the appliance immediately and have it checked by a qualified specialist.
Always ensure good electrical contacts on the welding current side.
Always wear insulating gloves on both hands during welding work. These protect the user from electric shock (no-load voltage of the welding current circuit), harmful radiation (heat and UV radiation) as well as from incandescent metal and splashes of slag.
Wear sturdy insulating shoes (should also be waterproof). Loafers are not suitable as falling incandescent metal droplets can cause burns.
Wear suitable clothing, no synthetic fibres.
Do not look into the electric arc without eye protection; always use the welding mask with the prescribed protective glass as per DIN. In addition to the light and heat radiation, which can dazzle and/or cause burns, the electric arc also emits UV radiation. If not properly protected, this invisible ultraviolet radiation can cause a very painful conjunctivitis that is not apparent until several hours later. In addition, this UV radiation can cause sunburn-like e ects on unprotected parts of the body.
Any persons in the vicinity of the electric arc or helpers must be appraised of the dangers and be equipped with the necessary protective equipment. If necessary, put up protective walls.
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 safety requirements may only be carried out by trained and qualified welders. Examples of this are: pressure vessels, running rails, tow bars, etc.
Risk of injury due to electric shock
When there is no electric arc, there is a nominal no-load voltage of U0 between the earth clamp and the flow nozzle. This voltage can be potentially fatal if the welder touches the flow nozzle, torch nozzle, welding wire or the workpiece with his/her bare hands.
It is important to bear in mind that the protective conductor in electrical systems or appliances can be damaged by negligence by the welding current:
e.g. the earth clamp is placed on the welder housing which is connected to the protective conductor of the electrical system. The welding work is carried out on a machine with a protective conductor connection. It is also possible to weld the machine without attaching the earth clamp to it. In this case, the welding current flows from the earth clamp via the protective conductor to the machine. The high welding current can cause the protective conductor to melt.
The supply to the mains socket must be secured as per regulations (VDE 0100). In accordance with these regulations, only fuses or circuit breakers with a corresponding wire cross section may be used (16 amp circuit breaker). A too high fuse amperage can cause cable fires or building fire damage.
Confined spaces and hot rooms
When working in confined spaces or hot rooms, use insulated underlays, filler layers and gauntlets made of leather or a di erent non-conduc- tive material to insulate your body against the floor, walls, conductive appliance parts and similar.
When using welding transformers to weld in environments with increased electrical risks, e.g. in confined rooms with electrically conductive walls (boilers, pipes, etc.), in hot rooms (sweating through the work clothes), the output voltage of the flux-core welder in no-load operation may not be higher than 48 V~ (e ective value). Due to its output voltage in no-load operation, the appliance may be used in this case.
Accident risks due to poor air supply in confined spaces
Considerable quantities of smoke and gases are produced during welding. Ensure that there is a suitable opening for the extraction of smoke and gases. Never feed oxygen into the room. This increases the risk of fire.
Protective clothing
While working, the welder must protect all body parts from radiation and against burns by means of clothing and the welding mask.
Wear gauntlets made of a suitable material (leather) on both hands. They must be in perfect condition.
To protect your clothes from flying sparks and burns, wear a suitable apron. If the type of work requires it, e.g. overhead welding, wear a protective suit and, if necessary, also the corresponding headgear.
The clothing worn and all accessories must comply with the guideline “Personal protective equipment” (89/686/EEC).
■ 6 │ GB│IE│NI |
PFDS 33 A1 |
Protection against radiation and burns
Warn of the danger to the eyes by hanging up a sign saying “Caution, do not look into the flames!”.
Work areas are to be shielded so as to protect people in the vicinity.
Keep unauthorised persons away from the welding work.
Do not set up fixed welding locations in the immediate vicinity of light-coloured or glossy walls.
Windows should be blocked o to at least head height to prevent the escape or reflection of radiation, e.g. by painting with a suitable paint.
Risk of burns due to flying sparks
The spraying welding sparks can cause painful burns. Therefore, observe the following guidelines:
Always wear a leather apron.
Use leather gloves.
For overhead welding, wear suitable headgear.
Ensure that your trouser cu s fall over your shoes.
Wear sturdy and insulated shoes.
Risk of accidents due to spattering slag
When it sets, the slag is hard and brittle. Afterwards, it can be chipped o using the chipping hammer – sharp-edged particles may fly up that could seriously injure your eyes.
Therefore protect your eyes by wearing suitable protective goggles when removing slag.
Risk of fire due to flying sparks
If molten or incandescent metal and slag particles fall onto flammable substances, these can ignite and cause a fire. Therefore, remove all flammable objects from the working area before commencing welding work. Keep a suitable fire extinguisher at hand.
Pay particularly close attention to the following materials.
Paper
Rags
Textiles
Wood and wood fibres
Rubber
Plastic
Petrol
Oils

Risk of explosion
Both the welding function and the superheated weld joint itself can cause explosions. Therefore, do not use the appliance in a potentially explosive environment containing combustible liquids, gases or paint mist.
Please also note:
When the flux-core welder is in operation, do not lay the torch on the flux-core welder itself or any other electrical appliance.
Before finishing the welding work, do not touch the flow nozzle or any other metal object with which the flow nozzle is in contact.
Disconnect the appliance from the power immediately after completing your welding work.
Ensure that no cable is wrapped around any body part.
Make sure that you are not within the welding current circuit. The welding torch and earth must always be on the same side.
EMC appliance classification
As per the standard IEC 60974-10, this appliance is a welding unit with class A electromagnetic compatibility. Thus it complies with the corresponding requirements for industrial and domestic use. In residential areas, it may be connected to the low voltage electricity supply.
Even the flux-core welder complies with the emission limits of the standard, arc welding appliances can nevertheless cause interference to sensitive systems and appliances.
The user is responsible for any interference caused by the electric arc during welding and must take appropriate preventive measures. The user must pay close attention to the following:
Power, control, signal and telecommunication lines
Computers and microprocessor-controlled appliances
TVs, radios and other playback appliances
Electronic and electrical safety appliances
People with pacemakers or hearing aids
Measurement and calibration systems
The electromagnetic immunity of other systems in the vicinity
The time of the day at which the welding work is to be carried out. To prevent possible interference radiation, we recommend:
Fitting a mains filter to the mains connection or shielding it with a metal pipe
Maintaining the flux-core welder regularly and keeping it in good condition
Weld cables should be as short as possible, completely unwound and running as close to parallel with the floor as possible
An equipotential bonding should be provided
The workpieces should be properly earthed
Any appliances susceptible to interference radiation should moved out of the welding area, if possible, or shielded.
