2.3 General
DANGER
Electromagnetic fields!
The power source may cause electrical or electromagnetic fields to be produced which
could affect the correct functioning of electronic equipment such as IT or CNC devices,
telecommunication lines, power cables, signal lines and pacemakers.
•Observe the maintenance instructions! (see Maintenance and Testing chapter)
•Unwind welding leads completely!
•Shield devices or equipment sensitive to radiation accordingly!
•The correct functioning of pacemakers may be affected (obtain advice from a doctor if
necessary).
Do not carry out any unauthorised repairs or modifications!
To avoid injury and equipment damage, the unit must only be repaired or modified by
specialist, skilled persons!
The warranty becomes null and void in the event of unauthorised interference.
•Appoint only skilled persons for repair work (trained service personnel)!
Electric shock!
Welding machines use high voltages which can result in potentially fatal electric shocks
and burns on contact. Even low voltages can cause you to get a shock and lead to
accidents.
•Do not touch any live parts in or on the machine!
•Connection cables and leads must be free of faults!
•Switching off alone is not sufficient!
•Place welding torch and stick electrode holder on an insulated surface!
•The unit should only be opened by specialist staff after the mains plug has been
unplugged!
•Only wear dry protective clothing!
•Wait for 4 minutes until the capacitors have discharged!
WARNING
Risk of accidents if these safety instructions are not observed!
Non-observance of these safety instructions is potentially fatal!
•Carefully read the safety information in this manual!
•Observe the accident prevention regulations in your country.
•Inform persons in the working area that they must observe the regulations!
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!

CAUTION
Obligations of the operator!
The respective national directives and laws must be observed for operation of the
machine!
•National implementation of the framework directive (89/391/EWG), as well as the
associated individual directives.
•In particular, directive (89/655/EWG), on the minimum regulations for safety and health
protection when staff members use equipment during work.
•The regulations regarding work safety and accident prevention for the respective country.
•Setting up and operating the machine according to IEC 60974-9.
•Check at regular intervals that users are working in a safety-conscious way.
•Regular checks of the machine according to IEC 60974-4.
Damage due to the use of non-genuine parts!
The manufacturer's warranty becomes void if non-genuine parts are used!
•Only use system components and options (power sources, welding torches, electrode
holders, remote controls, spare parts and replacement parts, etc.) from our range of
products!
•Only insert and lock accessory components into the relevant connection socket when the
machine is switched off.
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 technical data):
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 n
ot 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

2.4 Transport and installation
CAUTION
Risk of tipping!
There is a risk of the machine tipping over and injuring persons or being damaged itself
during movement and set up. Tilt resistance is guaranteed up to an angle of 10°
(according to EN 60974-A2).
•Set up and transport the machine on level, solid ground!
•Secure add-on parts using suitable equipment!
•Replace damaged wheels and their fixing elements!
•Fix external wire feed units during transport (avoid uncontrolled rotation)!
Damage due to supply lines not being disconnected!
During transport, supply lines which have not been disconnected (mains supply leads,
control leads, etc.) may cause hazards such as connected equipment tipping over and
injuring persons!
•Disconnect supply lines!
2.5 Calibration device (KLE)
WARNING
Risk of accident due to improper transport of machines that may not be lifted!
Do not lift or suspend the machine! The machine can fall down and cause injuries! The
handles and brackets are suitable for transport by hand only!
•The machine may not be lifted by crane or suspended!

2.6.1 Lifting by crane
DANGER
Risk of injury during lifting by crane!
When lifting the equipment by crane, serious injuries can be inflicted by falling
equipment or add-on units.
•Transport on all lifting lugs at the same time
(see Fig. Lifting principle)!
•Ensure that there is an even load distribution! Only
use ring chains or suspension ropes of the same
length!
•Observe the lifting principle (see Fig.)!
•Remove all accessory components before lifting
(e.g. shielding gas cylinders, tool boxes, wire feed
units, etc.)!
•Avoid jerky movements when raising or lowering!
•Use shackles and load hooks of the appropriate size!
Fig. Lifting principle
Risk of injury due to unsuitable lifting eye!
In case of improper use of lifting eyes or the use of unsuitable lifting eyes, persons can
be seriously damaged by falling equipment or add-on components!
•The lifting eye must be completely screwed in!
•The lifting eye must be positioned flat onto and in full contact with the supporting surfaces!
•Check that the lifting eyes are securely fastened before use and check for any damage
(corrosion, deformation)!
•Do not use or screw in damaged lifting eyes!
•Avoid lateral loading of the lifting eyes!
