Small and hot rooms
Caution! Danger of poisoning / Danger of
asphyxiation
• Significant quantities of smoke and gases are
created during welding work. Ensure that the
smoke and gases can always be removed via a sui-
table opening. However, an oxygen supply must
never be added. This increases the fire hazard.
When working in small or hot rooms, insulating bases
and interim layers, as well as gauntlets made from
leather or other non-conductive materials, are to be
used to insulate the body against the floor, walls,
conductive parts of the device and similar.
When using welding transformers for welding work
in situations with an increased electrical risk, e.g.
in small rooms with electrically conductive walls
(boilers, pipes etc.), in hot rooms (sweat-soaked work
clothes), the output voltage of the flux cored elec-
trode welding device may not exceed ~48 V in idling
conditions (effective value). The device may thus
be operated in this case on the basis of its output
voltage in idling conditions.

Protective clothing

Caution! Risk of accident due to spraying
sparks
The spraying welding sparks may lead to painful
burn injuries.
Therefore, always observe the following instruc-
tions:
• Always wear a leather apron.
• Use leather gloves.
• Wear suitable head protection when welding
overhead.
• Ensure that your trouser legs cover the tops of
your shoes.
• Wear sturdy, insulating footwear.
Whilst working, the welder's entire body must be
protected against radiation and burns by means of
the clothing and face protection.
Gauntlets made from a suitable material (leather)
must be worn on both hands. These must not be
damaged.
Suitable aprons must be worn to protect the clothing
against flying sparks and burns. If the nature of the
work, e.g. overhead welding, requires this, a protec-
tive suit must worn and, where necessary, this must
also include suitable head protection.
The protective clothing which is used, as well as all
the accessories, must be compliant with the "Personal
Protective Equipment" Directive (89/686/EEC).
Class A (IEC 60974-10):
If you intend to use the apparatus in residential sur-
roundings supplied by the low voltage mains supply,
an electromagnetic filter may be required to suppress
electrical disturbance to a level where they will no
longer be a nuisance to the user.
The apparatus may be used in industrial or other
areas where power is not supplied by municipal LV
mains.
Class A apparatus are not intended for use in resi-
dential areas where power is supplied via municipal
LV mains, since unfavourable power conditions may
cause interference.
As a user, you must make sure, after consultation with
your energy provider, if necessary, that your point of
connection on which the machine is to be operated
meets the requirements above.
The user is responsible for faults arising from the
welding.
