■ The flux-core welder may only be used by adults.
■ Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the flux-
core welder.
■ Keep children away from the packaging materials and small components.
Swallowing can lead to a risk of suffocation.
■ Ensure that the appliance is suitably maintained.
■ Maintenance and/or repairs may only be performed by qualified
persons.
■ In addition to the notices in these operating instructions, all general
safety and accident prevention legislation must also be complied with.
■ Always pay attention to what you are doing and always be alert. Do
not work with the flux-core welder if you are distracted or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Just one moment of inattention
while operating this appliance may result in an accident and serious
personal injuries.
■ Check the appliance for any possible defects before use. If the appli-
ance exhibits any faults, it must not be used under any circumstances.
■ Ensure that the welding lead, nozzle, the torch and earth connections
are all in perfect condition. Wear on the insulation and the live parts
can cause dangerous situations and reduce the quality of the welding
work.
■ Use this appliance only as described in this instruction manual.
■ Using this appliance can lead to wear on certain parts. Therefore,
check the appliance regularly for any possible damage or defects.
■ For your own safety, use only the additional equipment and acces-
sories specified in the operating instructions or recommended by the
manufacturer.
■ When setting up the appliance, ensure that it is placed on a stable and
safe working surface.
■ On heavily used supply networks and power circuits, welding work
can lead to problems for other users. If in doubt, consult your electricity
provider.
■ Comply with all national guidelines and laws when welding. This applies,
in particular, to accident prevention regulations.
■ The flux-core welder may only be used on a stable and level surface. The
flux-core welder is constructed so that it can be tilted up to a maximum
of 10° from the plane before tipping over. Secure the flux-core welder
against tipping if working on an inclined plane.
■ To avoid damage to the appliance, always transport the appliance in
an upright position.
