Danger Of Electric Shock - Parkside PFDS 33 B2 Montage-, Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

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, particu-
larly 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 cer-
tain 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 weld-
ing 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.
