–for storing gases, fuels, mineral oils or similar – even if they
have been
–empty for a long time – as possible residues may present a risk
of explosion.
Special regulations apply in rooms where there is a risk of fire or
explosion.
Welded joints that are subject to heavy stress loads and are
required to comply with certain safety requirements may only be
carried out by specially trained and certified welders. Examples of
this are pressure vessels, running rails, tow bars, 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 welder!
Never connect the earth terminal to earthed parts far away from
the workpiece, 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 welder in the rain.
Do not use the welder in a moist environment.
Only place the welder on a level surface.
The output is rated at an ambient temperature of 20 °C.
The welding time may be reduced at higher temperatures.
RISK 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
electrodes with bare hands. Do not wear wet or damaged gloves.
Protect yourself from electric shock with insulation against the
workpiece. Do not open the device housing.
DANGER FROM WELDING FUMES:
Inhalation of welding fumes can endanger health. Do not keep
your head in the fumes. Use the equipment in open areas.
Use extractors to remove the fumes.
DANGER FROM WELDING SPARKS:
Welding sparks can cause an explosion or fire. Keep flammable
substances away from the welding location. Do not weld near flam-
mable materials. Welding sparks can cause fires. Keep a fire extin-
guisher close by and an observer should be present to be able to use
it immediately. Do not weld on drums or any other closed containers.
