WARNING
Explosion risk!
Apparently harmless substances in closed containers may generate
excessive pressure
when heated.
•Move containers with inflammable or explosive liquids away from the working area!
•Never heat explosive liquids, dusts or gases by welding or cutting!
Smoke and gases!
Smoke and gases can lead to breathing difficulties and poisoning. In addition, solvent
vapour (chlorinated hydrocarbon) may be converted into poisonous phosgene due to
the ultraviolet radiation of the arc!
•Ensure that there is sufficient fresh air!
•Keep solvent vapour away from the arc beam field!
•Wear suitable breathing apparatus if appropriate!
Fire hazard!
Flames may arise as a result of the high temperatures, stray sparks, glowing-hot parts
and hot slag produced during the welding process.
Stray welding currents can also result in flames forming!
•Check for fire hazards in the working area!
•Do not carry any easily flammable objects such as matches or lighters.
•Keep appropriate fire extinguishing equipment to hand in the working area!
•Thoroughly remove any residue of flammable substances from the workpiece before
starting welding.
•Only continue work on welded workpieces once they have cooled down.
Do not allow to come into contact with flammable material!
•Connect welding leads correctly!
Danger when coupling multiple power sources
!
Coupling multiple power sources in parallel or in series has to be carried out by
qualified personnel and in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. Before
bringing the power sources into service for arc welding operations, a test has to verify
that they cannot exceed the maximum allowed open circuit voltage.
•Connection of the machine may be carried out by qualified personnel only!
•When decommissioning individual power sources, all mains and welding current leads have
to be safely disconnected from the welding system as a whole. (Danger due to inverse
voltages!)
•Do not couple welding machines with pole reversing switch (PWS series) or machines for
AC welding, as a minor error in operation can cause the welding voltages to be combined.
CAUTION
Noise exposure!
Noise exceeding 70 dBA can cause permanent hearing damage!
•Wear suitable ear protection!
•Persons located within the working area must wear suitable ear protection!

Safety instructions
General
10 099-005366-EW501

•Make sure all welding leads are securely connected and check regularly.
•Always ensure a proper and secure electrical connection to the workpiece!
•Set up, attach or suspend all conductive power source components like casing, transport
vehicle and crane frames so they are insulated!
•Do not place any other electronic devices such as drillers or angle grinders, etc., on the
power source, transport vehicle or crane frames unless they are insulated!
•Always put welding torches and electrode holders on an insulated surface when they are
not in use!
Mains connection
Requirements for connection to the public mains network
High-performance machines can influence the mains quality by taking current from the mains
network. For some types of machines, connection restrictions or requirements relating to the
maximum possible line impedance or the necessary minimum supply capacity at the interface
with the public network (Point of Common Coupling, PCC) can therefore apply. In this respect,
attention is also drawn to the machines' technical data. In this case, it is the responsibility of
the operator, where necessary in consultation with the mains network operator, to ensure that
the machine can be connected.

CAUTION
EMC Machine Classification
In accordance with IEC 60974-
10, welding machines are grouped in two electromagnetic
compatibility classes "See 8 Technical data chapter":
Class A machines are not intended for use in residential areas where the power supply comes
from the low-voltage public mains network. When ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility of
class A machines, difficulties can arise in these areas due to interference not only in the supply
lines but also in the form of radiated interference.
Class B machines fulfil the EMC requirements in industrial as well as residential areas,
including residential areas connected to the low-voltage public mains network.
Setting up and operating
When operating arc welding systems, in some cases, electro-magnetic interference can occur
although all of the welding machines comply with the emission limits specified in the standard.
The user is responsible for any interference caused by welding.
In order to evaluate any possible problems with electromagnetic compatibility in the
surrounding area, the user must consider the following: (see also EN 60974-10 Appendix A)
•Mains, control, signal and telecommunication lines
•Radios and televisions
•Computers and other control systems
•Safety equipment
•The health of neighbouring persons, especially if they have a pacemaker or wear a hearing
aid
•Calibration and measuring equipment
•The immunity to interference of other equipment in the surrounding area
•The time of day at which the welding work must be carried out
Recommendations for reducing interference emission
•Mains connection, e.g. additional mains filter or shielding with a metal tube
•Maintenance of the arc welding equipment
•Welding leads should be as short as possible and run closely together along the ground
•Potential equalization
•Earthing of the workpiece. In cases where it is not possible to earth the workpiece directly,
it should be connected by means of suitable capacitors.
•Shielding from other equipment in the surrounding area or the entire welding system
