protective clothing and eye protection within a range
o 15 m o the arc. Protect yoursel and any persons
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 ater operation.
Fumes which may be harmul 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 o welding ventilated well.
Caution! Risk of accidents due to splashing
slag particles
The slag becomes hard and brittle ater it has soli
died. The slag hammer is then used to break the
slag up into small pieces with sharp edges, which
is associated with a risk o eye injuries.
Thereore, ensure that your eyes are protected
with suitable saety goggles when removing the
slag.
Burning slag and sparks may cause res and explosi
ons. The device must never be used in a ammable
environment.
Caution! Risk of beams and burns
• At the workstation, it is important to make ree
rence to the risk o eye injury with a sign which
reads "Caution – do not look into the ames!".
• The workstations should be shielded o as much
as possible to protect people who are nearby.
• Unauthorised persons must not be involved with
the welding work.
• In xed 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 reecting beams up to at least head
height, e.g. using suitable paint.
Keep the ux cored electrode welding device, the
mains plug and the power cable away rom open
ames and hot suraces.
Do not weld on containers, vessels or pipes which
have contained ammable liquid or gases.
Wood, sawdust, „varnishes", petrol, kerosine, natural
gas, acetylene, propane and similar ammable
materials must be removed rom the place o work
and the surrounding area or protected against sparks
ying away.
Caution! Fire hazard due to spraying sparks
I the molten or burning metal or slag particles
land on ammable substances, these may ignite
and cause a re. Thereore, remove all ammable
objects rom your workspace beore commencing
welding work. Keep a suitable re extinguisher
to hand.
In this regard, take the ollowing materials into
consideration in particular:
• Paper
• Rags
• Textiles
• Wood and wood bres
• Rubber
• Plastic
• Petrol
• Oils
• Tarlike substances
• Paints and solvents
No welding or cutting on vessels and pipes i they
are open, containing materials able to explode due
to heat or moisture or able to cause other dangerous
reactions.
Caution! Explosion hazard and re hazard
due to welding sparks
Both the welding sparks and the welding point
itsel, which is heated to high temperatures, may
cause explosions. Thereore, do not use the device
in a potentially explosive environment where
substances such as ammable liquids, gases and
paint mist are present.
Please note:
• When the ux cored electrode welding device is
in operation, do not place the burner on the ux
cored electrode welding device itsel nor on any
other electrical device.
• Beore nishing your welding work, do not touch
the contact tip itsel nor any other metal objects
which touch the contact tip.
• Disconnect the power supply to the device im
mediately ater 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 derost rozen pipes.
