protective clothing and eye protection within a range
of 15 m of the arc. Protect yourself and any persons
28
who are nearby against the possible hazards caused
by the arc!
WARNING! Risk of injury Improper
handling may lead to serious injuries!
Leave the cable assembly tip and workpiece to cool
down after operation.
Fumes which may be harmful are released during arc
welding.
Long-term working with the appliance may damage
hearing. Hearing protection to be used at all times.
Make sure the welding smoke is exhausted or the
place of welding ventilated well.
Caution! Risk of accidents due to splashing
slag particles
The slag becomes hard and brittle after it has soli-
dified. The slag hammer is then used to break the
slag up into small pieces with sharp edges, which
is associated with a risk of eye injuries.
Therefore, ensure that your eyes are protected
with suitable safety goggles when removing the
slag.
Burning slag and sparks may cause fires and explosi-
ons. The device must never be used in a flammable
environment.
Caution! Risk of beams and burns
• At the workstation, it is important to make refe-
rence to the risk of eye injury with a sign which
reads "Caution – do not look into the flames!".
• The workstations should be shielded off as much
as possible to protect people who are nearby.
• Unauthorised persons must not be involved with
the welding work.
• In fixed workstations which are nearby, the walls
should not be painted in a light colour and should
not be shiny.
• Windows must be protected against light shing
through or reflecting beams up to at least head
height, e.g. using suitable paint.
Keep the flux cored electrode welding device, the
mains plug and the power cable away from open
flames and hot surfaces.
Do not weld on containers, vessels or pipes which
have contained flammable liquid or gases.
Wood, sawdust, „varnishes", petrol, kerosine, natural
gas, acetylene, propane and similar flammable
materials must be removed from the place of work
and the surrounding area or protected against sparks
flying away.
Caution! Fire hazard due to spraying sparks
If the molten or burning metal or slag particles
land on flammable substances, these may ignite
and cause a fire. Therefore, remove all flammable
objects from your workspace before commencing
welding work. Keep a suitable fire extinguisher
to hand.
In this regard, take the following materials into
consideration in particular:
• Paper
• Rags
• Textiles
• Wood and wood fibres
• Rubber
• Plastic
• Petrol
• Oils
• Tar-like substances
• Paints and solvents
No welding or cutting on vessels and pipes if they
are open, containing materials able to explode due
to heat or moisture or able to cause other dangerous
reactions.
Caution! Explosion hazard and fire hazard
due to welding sparks
Both the welding sparks and the welding point
itself, which is heated to high temperatures, may
cause explosions. Therefore, do not use the device
in a potentially explosive environment where
substances such as flammable liquids, gases and
paint mist are present.
Please note:
• When the flux cored electrode welding device is
in operation, do not place the burner on the flux
cored electrode welding device itself nor on any
other electrical device.
• Before finishing your welding work, do not touch
the contact tip itself nor any other metal objects
which touch the contact tip.
• Disconnect the power supply to the device im-
mediately after completing your welding work.
• It is essential to ensure that no cables become
wrapped around your body.
• It is essential to ensure that you are not within
the welding circuit. The burner and earth must
always be on the same side.
No welding or cutting on closed vessels and pipes.
Never use the welder to defrost frozen pipes.
