the live parts can lead to hazards and reduce the quality of the
welding work.
 Arc welding creates sparks, molten metal parts and smoke.
Therefore ensure that: All flammable substances and/or materials
are removed from the workplace and its immediate surrounding.
 Ensure the workplace is ventilated.
 Do not weld on containers, vessels or tubes that contain or contained
flammable liquids or gases.
 Avoid any form of direct contact with the
welding current circuit. The no-load voltage between the electrode
holder and earth terminal can be dangerous, there is a risk of
electric shock.
 Do not store or use the device in a damp or wet environment or in
the rain. Protection rating IP21S is applicable in this case.
 Protect your eyes using the appropriate protective glasses
(DIN level 9–10), which are fastened to the supplied welding mask.
Wear gloves and dry protective clothing that are free of oil and
grease to protect the skin from exposure to ultraviolet radiation of
the arc.
 Do not use the welding power source to defrost
pipes.
Please note:
 The light radiation emitted by the arc can damage eyes and cause
burns to the skin.
 Arc welding creates sparks and drops of melted metal. The welded
workpiece starts to glow and remains hot for a relatively long period
of time. Therefore, do not touch the workpiece with bare hands.
 Arc welding can cause vapours to be released that may be hazardous
to health. Be careful not to inhale these vapours.
 Protect yourself from the harmful effects of the arc and keep people

distance of at least 2 m.

GB/IE/CY 9
ATTENTION!
 During the operation of the welder, other consumers may experience
problems with the voltage supply depending on the network condi-
tions at the connection point. In case of doubt, please contact your
energy supply company.
 During the operation of the welder, other devices may malfunction,
e.g. hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, etc.
zPotential hazards during electric arc welding
There are a series of potential hazards that can occur during electric
arc welding. It is therefore particularly important for the welder to
observe the following rules to avoid endangering him/herself and
others and to prevent damage to people and the device.
 Work on the mains voltage side, e.g. on cables, plugs, sockets
etc., may only be carried out by qualified electricians according to
national and local regulations.
 In the event of accidents, disconnect the welder from the mains
voltage immediately.
 If electrical contact voltages occur, switch off the device immediately
and have it checked by a qualified electrician.
 Always ensure good electrical contacts on the welding current side.
 Always wear insulating gloves on both hands during welding
work. These provide protection from electrical shocks (no-load
voltage of the welding current circuit), harmful radiations (heat and
UV radiation) and incandescent metal and splashes of slag.
 Wear sturdy, insulating shoes. The shoes should also insulate when
exposed to moisture. Loafers are not suitable as falling incandescent
metal droplets can cause burns.
 Wear suitable protective clothing, no synthetic garments.
 Do not look into the arc without eye protection; only use a welding
mask with the prescribed protective glass as per DIN. In addition
to light and heat radiation, which can dazzle or cause burns, the
arc also emits UV radiation. Without suitable protection the invisible
ultraviolet radiation can cause very painful conjunctivitis which is
not apparent until several hours later. Furthermore, UV radiation
can cause burns with sunburn-like effects on unprotected parts of
the body.
 Any persons in the vicinity of the electric arc or helpers must also
be informed of the dangers and be equipped with the necessary
protective equipment. If necessary, set up protective walls.
 Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air whilst welding, particularly
in small spaces, as welding produces smoke and harmful gases.

10 GB/IE/CY
 No welding work may be carried out on containers that have
been used 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 can 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
flammable substances. Welding sparks can cause fires.
Keep a fire extinguisher 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.

GB/IE/CY 11
DANGER FROM ARC BEAMS:
 Arc beams can damage your eyes and injure your skin. Wear a
hat and safety goggles. Wear hearing protection and high, closed
shirt collars. Wear welding safety helmets and make sure you use
the appropriate filter settings. Wear complete body protection.
DANGER FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS:
 Welding current generates electromagnetic fields. Do not use if you
have a medical implant. Never wrap the welding cable around
your body. Guide welding cables together.
zWelding mask-specific safety instructions
 With the help of a bright light source (e.g. lighter) always check
the proper functioning of the welding mask prior to starting with
any welding work.
 Weld spatters can damage the protective screen.
Immediately replace damaged or scratched protective screens.
 Immediately replace damaged or highly contaminated or splattered
components.
 The device must only be operated by people aged 16 or over.
 Please familiarise yourself with the welding safety instructions.
Also refer to the safety instructions of your welder.
 Always wear a welding mask while welding. If you do not do this,
you could sustain severe lesions to the retina.
 Always wear protective clothing during welding operations.
 Never use the welding mask without the protective screen.
 Regularly replace the protective screen to ensure good visibility
and fatigue-proof work.
zEnvironment with increased electrical hazard
When welding in environments with increased electrical hazard, the
following safety instructions must be observed.
Environments with increased electrical hazard may be encountered,
for example:
 In workplaces where the space for movement is restricted, such
that the welder is working in a forced posture (e.g.: kneeling,
sitting, lying) and is touching electrically conductive parts;
 In workplaces which are restricted completely or in part in terms
of electrical conductivity and where there is a high risk through
avoidable or accidental touching by the welder;

12 GB/IE/CY
 In wet, humid or hot workplaces where the air humidity or sweat
significantly reduces the resistance of human skin and the insulating
properties or effect of protective equipment.
 Even a metal conductor or scaffolding can create an environment
with increased electrical hazard.
In this type of environment, insulated mats and pads must be used.
Furthermore gauntlet gloves and head protection made of leather or
other insulating materials must be worn to insulate the body against
Earth. The welding power source must be located outside the working
area or electrically conductive surfaces and out of the welder’s reach.
Additional protection against a shock from the mains power in the
event of a fault can be provided by using a fault-circuit interrupter,
which is operated with a leakage current of no more than 30 mA and
covers all mains-powered devices in close proximity. The fault-circuit
interrupter must be suitable for all types of current.
There must be means of rapid electrical isolation of the welding
power source or the welding circuit (e.g. emergency stop device)
which are easily accessible.
When using welders under electrically dangerous conditions, the
output voltage of the welder must not be greater than 113 volt when
idling (peak value). Based on the output voltage this welder may be
used in these conditions.
zWelding in tight spaces
 When welding in tight spaces this may pose a hazard through
toxic gases (risk of suffocation).
 In tight spaces you may only weld if there are trained individuals
in the immediate vicinity who can intervene if necessary.
In this case, before starting the welding procedure, an expert
must carry out an assessment in order to determine what steps
are necessary, in order to guarantee safety at work and which
precautionary measures should be taken during the actual welding
procedure.
zTotal of no-load voltages
 When more than one welding power source is operated at the
same time, their no-load voltages may add up and lead to an
increased electrical hazard. Welding power sources must be
connected in such a way that the danger is minimised.

GB/IE/CY 13
The individual welding power sources, with their individual control
units and connections, must be clearly marked, in order to be able
to identify which device belongs to which welding power circuit.
zUsing shoulder straps
Welding must not take place if the welding power source is being
carried e.g. with a shoulder strap.
This is intended to prevent:
 The risk of losing your balance if the lines or hoses which are
connected are pulled
 The increased risk of an electric shock as the welder comes into
contact with the earth if he/she is using a Class I welding power
source, the housing of which is earthed through its conductor.
zProtective clothing
 At work, the welder must protect his/her whole body by using
appropriate clothing and face protection against radiations and
burns. The following steps must be observed:
–Wear protective clothing prior to welding work
–Wear gloves.
–Open windows or use fans to guarantee air supply.
–Wear safety goggles and face mask.
 Gauntlet gloves made of a suitable material (leather) must be worn
on both hands. They must be in perfect condition.
 A suitable apron must be worn to protect clothing from flying
sparks and burns. When specific work, e.g. overhead welding,
is required, a protective suit must be worn and, if necessary, even
head protection.
PROTECTION AGAINST RAYS AND BURNS
 Warn of the danger to the eyes by hanging up a sign saying
“Caution! Do not look into flames!” in the work area.
The workplaces must be shielded so that the persons in the vicinity
are protected. Unauthorised persons must be kept away from
welding work.
 The walls in the immediate vicinity of fixed workplaces should
neither be bright coloured or shiny. Windows up to head height
must be protected to prevent rays from penetrating or reflecting
through them, e.g. by using suitable paint.

14 GB/IE/CY

product parts, which are subject to normal wear and tear and can thus be regarded as consumable
parts, or for damages to fragile parts, e.g. switches, rechargeable batteries or parts made from glass.
This warranty is voided if the product becomes damaged or is improperly used or maintained.
For proper use of the product, all of the instructions given in the operating instructions must be followed
precisely. If the operating instructions advise you or warn you against certain uses or actions, these must
be avoided in all circumstances.
The product is for consumer use only and is not intended for commercial or trade use. The warranty
becomes void in the event of misuse and improper use, use of force, and any work on the device that has
not been carried out by our authorised service branch.
