Safety instructions
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 welding device! 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 bond-
ing system of the room you
are welding.
Do not use the welding device
in the rain.
Do not use the welding device
in a moist environment.
Only place the welding device
on a level surface.
The output is rated at an ambi-
ent temperature of 20 °C. The
welding time may be reduced
in higher temperatures.

Danger of electric shock:
An electric shock from
a welding electrode can
be fatal. Do not weld in rain
or snow. Wear dry insulating
gloves. Do not touch the elec-
trode with bare hands. Do not
wear wet or damaged gloves.
Protect yourself from an electric
shock with insulation from the
workpiece. Do not open the
device housing.
Danger due to welding
smoke:
Inhaling welding smoke can harm
your health. Keep your head out
of the smoke. Use facilities in
open areas. Use ventilation to
remove smoke.
Danger due to welding
sparks:
Welding sparks can cause an
explosion or fire. Keep flammable
substances away from the
welding area. Do not weld
next to flammable substances.
Welding sparks can cause fires.
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby
and an observer ready to use it.
Do not weld on top of drums or
any closed containers.
