- in a damp or wet environment,

- in explosive environments,

- for the purposes of thawing pipes,

- in the vicinity of people with pacemakers and

- in the vicinity of inflammable materials.
Only use the product as described and for the
specified purpose. Keep these instructions in a safe
place. When passing this product on to others, please
also include all the documents. Any use other than
the intended is prohibited and potentially dangerous.
Damages resulting from noncompliance or misuse
are not covered by the warranty and are not included
in the manufacturer's liability.

Residual risk

Even if you use the unit correctly, there will always
be residual risks. The following hazards can arise
due to the design and performance of this flux-cored
arc welding unit:

- Eye damage due to being dazzled,

- Touching hot parts of the unit or the work piece
(burns),

- In the case of insufficient protection, a risk of
accidents and fire exists due to sparks or slag,

8 GB/IE/NI

Safety instructions

During use the equipment should

not be located directly against a
wall, be covered, or be jammed
between other equipment to en­sure ample air can be taken in
through the ventilation louvres.
Verify the equipment is correctly
connected to the mains voltage.
Avoid any tensile load on the
mains. Unplug the mains plug
from the socket before transfer­ring the equipment to a different
location.

Always switch the equipment off

with the ON / OFF switch when
not in use. Set the electrode
holder down on an insulated
pad and allow to cool for
15 minutes before removing the
electrodes from the holder.

Pay attention to the condition of

the welding cables, the electrode
holders and the earth terminals.
Worn insulation and conducting
parts can produce hazards and
reduce the welding quality.

Arc welding produces sparks,

melted metal parts and smoke.
Therefore note: Remove any
flammable substances and / or
materials from the work area
and its immediate surroundings.

Ensure the work area is ventilated.

Do not weld atop containers, re-

ceptacles or pipes, which do or
did contain flammable liquids or
gasses.

Avoid any

direct contact with the welding

circuit. The no-load voltage be­tween the electrode holder and
earth terminal can be danger­ous, there is a risk of electric
shock.

Do not store or use the equipment

in a moist or wet environment or
in the rain. The Protection Provision
IP21S applies in this respect.

Protect the eyes with the appro-

priate safety glass (DIN Grad
9-10) to be installed in the
included welding shield. Use
gloves and dry protective cloth­ing free from oil and grease to
protect the skin from ultraviolet
rays and the arc.

Do not use the

welding power source to thaw

pipes.

Remember:

The arc ray can damage the

eyes and cause burns to the skin.

Arc welding produces sparks and

drops of molten metal, the welded
work piece begins to glow and
remains very hot for a relatively

9 GB/IE/NI

long time. Therefore do not touch
the work piece with bare hands.

Arc welding releases noxious

fumes. Be careful not to inhale
these as best possible.

Protect yourself from the danger-

ous effects of the arc and keep
persons not involved in the work
at least 2 m away from the arc.

ATTENTION!

Depending on mains conditions

at the connection point, operat­ing the welding equipment may
interfere with the voltage supply
for other loads. When in doubt,
please contact your power sup­ply company.

Operating the welding equipment

may interfere with the functional­ity of other devices, e.g. hearing
aids, pacemakers, etc.

Safety hazards

during arc welding

Arc welding produces a variety of
safety hazards. It is therefore par­ticularly important for the welder to
observe the following rules to avoid
putting himself and others in danger
and to prevent damage to persons
and the equipment

Only have work to the mains

voltage end, e.g. to cables, plugs,
outlets, etc. performed by a elec­trically skilled person in accord­ance with national and local
regulations.

In the event of an accident, im-

mediately disconnect the welding
equipment from the mains voltage.

If electrical contact voltage occurs,

immediately switch the equipment
off and have it inspected by an
electrically skilled person.

Always ensure good electrical

contacts on the welding current
end.

Always wear insulating gloves on

both hands whilst welding. These
will protect from electric shock
(no-load voltage of the welding
current), from hazardous rays
(heat and UV rays) and glowing
metal and weld splashes.

Wear solid, insulating shoes. The

shoes should also insulate when
exposed to moisture. Low shoes
are not suitable, as glowing metal
drops falling could cause burns.

Wear suitable protective clothing,

no synthetic garments.

Do not look into the arc with

unprotected eyes, only use a
welding shield with approved
protective glass per DIN. In

10 GB/IE/NI

Safety instructions

addition to light- and heat rays
which could result in blinding or
burns, the arc also emits UV rays.
Without adequate protection,
this invisible ultraviolet radiation
causes very painful conjunctivitis
which is only noticed a few hours
later. UV rays further cause burns
similar to a sunburn in unprotected
areas of the body.

Persons near the arc or assistants

must also be informed of the risks
and outfitted with the necessary
protection. If necessary, set up
protective panels.

Ensure an adequate supply of

fresh air whilst welding,

particu­larly in small spaces, as it produces
smoke and harmful gasses.

Do not weld containers in which

gasses, fuels, mineral oils, etc.
were stored - even if emptied a
long time ago - as residue poses
an explosion hazard.

Special regulations apply in rooms

posing fire- and explosion hazards.

Welded joints exposed to great

strain and needing to meet cer­tain safety requirements must be
made by specially trained and
certified welders. Examples are
pressure vessels, running rails,
tow couplings, etc.

ATTENTION! Always connect

the earth terminal as close as
possible to the point of weld to
provide the shortest possible path
for the welding current from the
electrode to the earth terminal.
Never connect the earth terminal
to the housing of the welding
equipment!

Never connect the earth terminal

to earthed parts far away from
the work piece, e.g. a water pipe
in another corner of the room. This
could otherwise damage the
protective bonding system of the
room you are welding.

Do not use the welding equipment

in the rain.

Do not use the welding equipment

in a moist environment.

Only place the welding equip-

ment in a level location.

The output is rated at an ambient

temperature of 20 °C. The weld­ing time may be reduced in
higher temperatures.

Danger of electric shock:

Electric shock from a weld-

ing electrode can be fatal.
Do not weld in rain or snow. Wear
dry insulating gloves. Do not touch
the electrode with bare hands. Do
not wear wet or damaged gloves.

11 GB/IE/NI

Protect yourself from electric shock
by insulating from the work piece.
Do not open the equipment housing.

Danger due to welding
smoke:

Inhaling welding smoke can jeop­ardize your health. Keep your head
out of the smoke. Use facilities in
open areas. Use ventilation to remove
smoke.

Danger due to electromag­netic fields:

Welding current produces electro­magnetic fields. Do not use along
with medical implants. Never wrap
the welding cables around the
body. Consolidate welding cables.

Safety notices specific to

the welding shield

Danger due to welding
sparks:

Welding sparks can cause an
explosion or fire. Keep flammables
away from the welding area. Do
not weld next to flammables. Weld­ing sparks can cause a fire. Keep a
fire extinguisher nearby and an ob­server ready to use it. Do not weld
on top of drums or any closed con­tainers.

Danger due to arc rays:

Arc rays can damage the eyes and
injure the skin. Wear a hat and
safety goggles. Wear hearing
protection and a closed, high shirt
collar. Wear welding helmets and
proper filter sizes. Wear full per­sonal protection.

Using a hot light source (e.g.

lighter) always check the weld­ing shield is working properly
before starting to weld.

Welding splashes can damage

the glass shield. Replace dam­aged or scratched glass shields
immediately.

Promptly replace damaged or

heavily soiled / splashed compo­nents.

The equipment may only be

operated by persons who have
turned 16.

Familiarise yourself with the safety

instructions for welding. Also refer
to the safety instructions of your
welding equipment.

Always use the welding shield

when welding. Failure to use the
shield may result in serious inju­ries to the retina.

12 GB/IE/NI

Safety instructions

Always wear protective clothing

when welding.

Never use the welding shield

without protective glass, as the
optics can otherwise be damaged.

Replace the protective glass

early to ensure good visibility
and fatigue-proof working.

Tight and moist spaces

When working in tight, moist or

hot spaces, use insulating pads
and intermediate layers in addi­tion to gauntlet gloves made from
leather or other insulating mate­rials to insulate the body from
earth.

When using welding equipment

in electrically dangerous condi­tions, e.g. in tight spaces from
conductive walls (kettles, pipes,
etc.), in wet spaces (soaking of
work clothes), the output voltages
of the welding equipment may
not be higher than 48 Volts (rms
value) in open loop. Based on
the output voltage this welding
equipment may be used in these
conditions.

Protective clothing

Whilst working the welder must

be protected against rays and
burns all over the body with the
appropriate clothing and face
protection. Remember the follow­ing steps:

- Put on protective clothing before

welding.

- Put on gloves.

- Open windows or vent to ensure

air supply.

- Wear safety goggles and a

mask.

Wear gauntlet gloves made

from suitable material (leather)
on both hands. These must be in
good condition.

Wear suitable aprons to protect

the clothing from sparks and
burns. When required based on
the working method, e.g. welding
overhead, wear a protective suit
and, if necessary, a head guard.

Protecting against

rays and burns

Mark the work area with a

sign „Danger! Do not look into
flames!“ to indicate the risk to
the eyes. If possible, shield the

13 GB/IE/NI

work areas to protect persons
nearby. Keep unauthorised per­sons away from the welding area.

Walls in the direct vicinity of fixed

work areas should be neither
light coloured nor glossy.
Protect windows against rays
passing through or reflecting at
a minimum to head height, e.g.
with suitable paint.

Even when the flux-cored arc weld­ing unit complies with standardized
emission thresholds, electric arc
welding units may cause electro­magnetic interference in sensitive
systems and devices.
The user is responsible and must
undertake the appropriate safety
measures for interference which
results from arcs during the welding
process. In doing so, the user must

take the following into account in
particular:

- Power, control, signal and tele-

communications cables

- Computers and other microproces-

sor-controlled devices

- Televisions, radios and other play-

back devices

- Electronic and electric safety

equipment

- People with pacemakers or hearing

aids

- Measuring devices and calibration

devices

- Interference immunity of other

devices in the vicinity

- The time of day during which

welding work is being carried out.
To reduce potential interference
radiation, it is recommended that
you:

- Equip the mains connection with a

mains filter or shield it with a metal

pipe

- Regularly perform maintenance

work on the flux-cored arc welding

unit and keep it in good condition

- Weld cables should be as short

as possible, fully unwound and

run as parallel on the ground as
