ments must be made by spe-
cially trained and certified
welders. Examples are pres-
sure 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 equip-
ment in the rain.
Do not use the welding equip-
ment in a moist environment.
Only place the welding equip-
ment in a level location.
The output is rated at an ambi-
ent temperature of 20 °C. The
welding time may be reduced
in higher temperatures.
Danger of electric shock:
Electric shock from a
welding electrode can be
fatal. Do not weld in rain or
snow. Wear dry insulating
gloves. Do not touch the elec-
trode with bare hands. Do not
wear wet or damaged gloves.
Protect yourself from electric
shock by insulating from the work
piece. Do not open the equip-
ment 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 venti-
lation to remove smoke.
Danger due to welding
sparks:
Welding sparks can cause an ex-
plosion 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
