accident prevention and have been instructed in how to use the device
- have read and understood these operating instructions, especially the sec-
tion "safety rules", and have confirmed as much with their signatures
- are trained to produce the required results.
Checks must be carried out at regular intervals to ensure that operators are
working in a safety-conscious manner.
Before leaving the workplace, ensure that people or property cannot come to any
harm in your absence.

tion their current consumption.
*) 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.
Protecting your- For your personal safety, take the following precautions:
self and others
Use suitable protective clothing
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.
7
The device must only be operated on a mains supply with a ground conductor
and a socket with a ground conductor contact.
Before working on the device, switch it off and pull out the mains plug.
If work on live parts is required, appoint a second person to switch off the main
switch at the right moment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If the shielding gas cylinder is not connected, leave the valve cap in place on the
cylinder.
