2 Safety
2.3 Safety instructions for electrical components
► Check electric tools for damage and ensure that they function properly
and in accordance with their designated use.
► Do not expose electric tools to rain and avoid a moist or wet
environment.
2.4 Safety instructions for welding
► Arc welding may cause damage to the eyes, skin and hearing. Please
note that other hazards may arise when the device is used with other
welding components. The personal protective clothing prescribed by
local regulations must therefore always be worn.
► All metal vapors, especially from lead, cadmium, copper, and beryllium,
are harmful. Ensure sufficient ventilation or extraction. Do not exceed the
current occupational exposure limits (OEL).
► To prevent the formation of phosgene gas, rinse workpieces that have
been degreased with chlorinated solvents using clean water. Do not
2.5 Safety instructions for extraction (according to ISO 21904)
► Ensure that all components have been properly installed on the fume
extraction torch.
► Ensure that the fume extraction torch is connected to the fume extraction
system prior to use.
► Use the fume extraction torch only with a fume extraction system that has
been approved for use in the respective country.
► Observe the local occupational health and safety regulations and
guidelines.
In some countries, it is forbidden to return the filtered air to the
installation area due to residual health risks. For example, when
operating the device in France, the cleaned air must be expelled from
the building.
► Check the volume flow at the suction nozzle using suitable spring-loaded
test device equipment. A volume flow that is too high can cause weld
defects.
2.6 Safety instructions for personal protective clothing
► Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry.
► Use a hair net for long hair.
2.7 Safety instructions for use
► Do not exceed the maximum load data specified in the documentation.
Excessive loads lead to irreparable damage.
► Do not make any constructive changes to this device.
2.8 Classification of the warnings
The warnings used are divided into four different categories and are
indicated prior to potentially dangerous work steps.
DANGER
Describes an imminent threatening danger. If not avoided, it may cause severe injuries or death.
WARNING
Describes a potentially dangerous situation. If not avoided, this may result in death or serious injuries.
CAUTION
Describes a potentially harmful situation. If not avoided, this may result in slight or minor injuries.
NOTICE
Describes the risk of impairing work results, material damage, or irreparable damage to the device or equipment.
2.9 Emergency information
► In the event of an emergency, immediately disconnect the following
supplies: electrical power supply, coolant supply and shielding gas
supply.
EN - 30
► Protect yourself from electric shock by using insulating mats and wearing
dry clothing.
► Do not use the electric tools in areas subject to fire or explosion hazards.
place degreasing baths containing chlorine in the vicinity of the welding
area.
► In connection with various welding torches, there may be other hazards,
for example those caused by: electrical current (power supply, internal
circuit), welding spatter with regard to combustible or explosive materials,
UV radiation from the arc, smoke and vapors.
► Adhere to the general fire protection regulations and remove flammable
materials from the vicinity of the welding work area prior to starting
work. Provide appropriate fire extinguishing equipment in the
workplace.
► Check the extraction hoses at regular intervals, at least once a week, for
damage and contamination.
► Note that if additional hoses or hoses from other manufacturers are
used, pressure loss in the fume extraction torch can result.
► Note that the applied vacuum depends on the geographic altitude of the
operation site.
► Observe the warning signals and indicators on the fume extraction
system. Warning signals and indicators can imply a saturated filter or
a problem with/damage to the fume extraction torch.
► Replace the extraction-specific wear parts at regular intervals. The
replacement interval required depends on the application conditions.
► Observe the instructions on the adapter label for connecting
components.
► Wear safety goggles, protective gloves and, if required, a breathing
mask when the device is in use and when welding.
► During welding work outdoors, use suitable protection against the
weather conditions.
Depending on the type of danger, the following signal words will be used:
► Consult the documentation for welding components.
