-Starting engines

The device is designed for use in industry and the workshop. The manufacturer

accepts no responsibility for any damage caused through use in a domestic set-

ting.

The manufacturer likewise accepts no liability for inadequate or incorrect results.

Environmental

conditions

Operation or storage of the device outside the stipulated area will be deemed as

not in accordance with the intended purpose. The manufacturer shall not be held

liable for any damage arising from such usage.

Ambient temperature range:

-during operation: -10 °C to + 40 °C (14 °F to 104 °F)

-during transport and storage: -20 °C to +55 °C (-4 °F to 131 °F)

Relative humidity:

-up to 50% at 40 °C (104 °F)

-up to 90% at 20 °C (68 °F)

The surrounding air must be free from dust, acids, corrosive gases or substances,

etc.

Can be used at altitudes of up to 2000 m (6561 ft. 8.16 in.)

Obligations of

the operator

The operator must only allow persons to work with the device who:

-are familiar with the fundamental instructions regarding safety at work and

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.

Obligations of

personnel

Before using the device, all persons instructed to do so undertake:

-to observe the basic instructions regarding safety at work and accident pre-

vention

-to read these operating instructions, especially the "Safety rules" section and

sign to confirm that they have understood them and will follow them.

Before leaving the workplace, ensure that people or property cannot come to any

harm in your absence.

Mains connec-

tion

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

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-

self and others

Anyone working with the device exposes themselves to numerous risks, e.g.

-ﬂying sparks and hot pieces of metal

-Arc radiation, which can damage eyes and skin

-Hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can endanger the lives of those us-

ing cardiac pacemakers

-Risk of electrocution from mains current and welding current

-Greater noise pollution

-Harmful welding fumes and gases

Suitable protective clothing must be worn when working with the device. The

protective clothing must have the following properties:

-Flame-resistant

-Insulating and dry

-Covers the whole body, is undamaged and in good condition

-Safety helmet

-Trousers with no turn-ups

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

-Protect eyes and face from UV rays, heat and sparks using a protective visor

and regulation filter

-Wear regulation protective goggles with side protection behind the protect-

ive visor

-Wear stout footwear that provides insulation even in wet conditions

-Protect the hands with suitable gloves (electrically insulated and providing

protection against heat)

-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 welding is in progress. If, however, there are people in the vi-

cinity:

-Make them aware of all the dangers (risk of dazzling by the arc, injury from

ﬂying sparks, harmful welding fumes, noise, possible risks from mains cur-

rent and welding current, etc.)

-Provide suitable protective equipment

-Alternatively, erect suitable safety screens/curtains.

Noise emission

values

The device generates a maximum sound power level of <80 dB(A) (ref. 1pW)

when idling and in the cooling phase following operation at the maximum per-

missible operating point under maximum rated load conditions according to EN

60974-1.

It is not possible to provide a workplace-related emission value during welding

(or cutting) as this is inﬂuenced by both the process and the environment. All

manner of different welding parameters come into play, including the welding

process (MIG/MAG, TIG welding), the type of power selected (DC or AC), the

power range, the type of weld metal, the resonance characteristics of the work-

piece, the workplace environment, etc.

Danger from tox-

ic gases and va-

pours

The fumes produced during welding contain harmful gases and vapours.

Welding fumes contain substances that cause cancer, as stated in Monograph

118 of the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Use at-source extraction and a room extraction system.

If necessary, use a welding torch with an integrated extraction device.

Keep your face away from welding fumes and gases.

Fumes and hazardous gases

-must not be breathed in

-must be extracted from the working area using appropriate methods.

Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air. Ensure that there is a ventilation rate of

at least 20 m³ per hour at all times.

Otherwise, a welding helmet with an air supply must be worn.

If there is any doubt about whether the extraction capacity is sufficient, the

measured toxic emission values should be compared with the permissible limit

values.

The following components are responsible, amongst other things, for the degree

of toxicity of welding fumes:

-Metals used for the workpiece

-Electrodes

-Coatings

-Cleaners, degreasers, etc.

-Welding process used

The relevant material safety data sheets and manufacturer's specifications for

the listed components should therefore be studied carefully.

Recommendations for trade fair scenarios, risk management measures and for

identifying working conditions can be found on the European Welding Associ-

ation website under Health & Safety (https://european-welding.org).

Flammable vapours (e.g. solvent fumes) should be kept away from the arc's radi-

ation area.

Close the shielding gas cylinder valve or main gas supply if no welding is taking

place.

Danger from ﬂy-

ing sparks

Flying sparks may cause fires or explosions.
