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

EN
tion 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

Protecting your- For your personal safety, take the following precautions:
self and others
Use suitable protective clothing

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


- protect their eyes with the specified protective goggles;
- wear stout footwear that provides insulation even in wet conditions;
- protect their hands by wearing suitable gloves (electrically insulated, heat-
proof, protection from cut injuries);
- wear ear protection to reduce the harmful effects of noise and to prevent in-
jury.

Keep all persons, especially children, out of the working area while any devices
are in operation or calibration is in progress. If, however, there are people in the
vicinity,
- warn them of all the dangers
- provide suitable protective equipment or
- erect suitable safety screens/curtains

Risks from mains An electric shock is potentially life threatening and can be fatal.
current and
welding current Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device.

Make sure that you and others are protected with an adequately insulated, dry
base or cover for the earth or ground potential. This base or cover must extend
over the entire area between the body and the earth or ground potential.

All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately di-
mensioned. Replace loose connections and scorched, damaged or inadequately
dimensioned cables and leads immediately.
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.

After opening the device:


- Discharge all live components
- Ensure that all components in the device are de-energised

If work on live parts is required, appoint a second person to switch off the main
switch at the right moment.

EMC Device Devices in emission class A:


Classifications - Are only designed for use in industrial settings
- Can cause line-bound and radiated interference in other areas

Devices in emission class B:


- Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This is also
true for residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public low-
voltage mains.

EMC device classification as per the rating plate or technical data.

EMC measures In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for
emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g. when
there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device
is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).
If this is the case, then the operator is obliged to take appropriate action to recti-
fy the situation.

Check and evaluate the immunity to interference of nearby devices according to


national and international regulations. Examples of equipment that may be sus-
ceptible to interference from the device include:
- Safety devices
- Network, signal and data transfer lines
- IT and telecommunications devices
- Measuring and calibrating devices

Supporting measures for avoidance of EMC problems:


1. Mains supply
- If electromagnetic interference arises despite the correct mains connec-
tion, additional measures are necessary (e.g. use of a suitable line filter)
2. Welding power-leads
- must be kept as short as possible
- must be laid close together (to avoid EMF problems)
- must be kept well apart from other leads
3. Equipotential bonding

8
4. Earthing of the workpiece
- If necessary, establish an earth connection using suitable capacitors.

EN
5. Shield, if necessary
- Shield other devices nearby
- Shield the entire welding installation

EMF measures Electromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health:
- Effects on the health of persons in the vicinity, e.g. those with pacemakers
and hearing aids
- Individuals with pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before ap-
proaching the device or any welding that is in progress
- For safety reasons, maintain as large a distance as possible between the
welding power-leads and the head/torso of the welder
- Do not carry welding power-leads and hosepacks over the shoulders or wind
them around any part of the body

Specific hazards Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from moving parts. For example:
- Fans
- Cogs
- Rollers
- Shafts
- Wirespools and welding wires

Do not reach into the rotating cogs of the wire drive or into rotating drive com-
ponents.

Covers and side panels may only be opened / removed while maintenance or re-
pair work is being carried out.

During operation
- Ensure that all covers are closed and all side panels are fitted properly.
- Keep all covers and side panels closed.

The welding wire emerging from the wire speed measuring system poses a high
risk of injury (piercing of the hand, injuries to the face and eyes, etc.).

For this reason, always keep the wire speed measuring system away from the
head and body and wear suitable protective goggles.

Special provisions apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion


- observe relevant national and international regulations.

Power sources for work in areas with increased electric risk (e.g. near boilers)
must carry the "Safety" sign. However, the power source must not be located in
such areas.

Use only suitable load-carrying equipment supplied by the manufacturer when


transporting devices by crane.
- Hook chains or ropes onto all suspension points provided on the load-carry-
ing equipment.
- Chains and ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical.
- Remove gas cylinder and wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).

If the device has a carrying strap or handle, this is intended solely for carrying by
hand. The carrying strap is not to be used if transporting with a crane, counter-
balanced lift truck or other mechanical hoist.

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 contain gas under pressure and can explode if damaged.
shielding gas cyl- As the shielding gas cylinders are part of the welding equipment, they must be
inders 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.

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.

Safety measures A device toppling over could easily kill someone. Place the device on a solid, level
at the installa- surface such that it remains stable
tion location and - The maximum permissible tilt angle is 10°.
during transport
Special regulations apply in rooms at risk of fire or explosion
- Observe relevant national and international regulations.

Use internal directives and checks to ensure that the workplace environment is
always clean and clearly laid out.

Only set up and operate the device in accordance with the degree of protection
shown on the rating plate.

When setting up the device, ensure there is an all-round clearance of 0.5 m (1 ft.
7.69 in.) to ensure that cooling air can flow in and out freely.

When transporting the device, observe the relevant national and local guidelines
and accident prevention regulations. This applies especially to guidelines regard-
ing the risks arising during transport.

After transporting the device, the device must be visually inspected for damage
before commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service techni-
cians before commissioning the device.
