To ensure your personal safety and for reasons of appliance safety we ask you to read the instructions completely before operating this machine and to observe all points. Basic Information for the Operator The MIG/MAG welding machine is a DC welding power source with integrated wire feed, designed and manufactured exclusively for MIG and MAG electric arc welding. Any other use of this machine involves dangers and is not permitted. The welding machine must only be operated on the mains voltage stated on the machine's rating plate. Connection to the supply circuit must be made via an earthed outlet, installed by a qualified electrician. The supply circuit must be protected by a fuse or miniature circuit breaker. Depending on the mains connection conditions at the point of connection, welding power sources can cause disturbances to other consumers in the distribution system. Check with your power utility before connecting to power. (Class A in accordance with CISPR 11) Keep the welding machine out of the reach of children. Please note the hazards associated with the welding process and observe any work and fire prevention regulations. The welding machine is not suitable for outdoor use in rain. Store in a dry place. The unit is not suitable for unfreezing pipes. A A Danger! person with a heart condition wearing a pace maker must contact their doctor before operating this welding machine. Safety Information and Accident Prevention Measures x Keep the welding machine out of the reach of children. x Observe all applicable work and fire prevention regulations when operating this welding machine. Observe all applicable accident prevention regulations. x With welding a number of different hazards are associated, which can pose a danger to health under certain circumstances. x When welding always wear a close fitting, dry overall (preferably fire retardant welders apparel) unsoiled by combustible substances, sturdy, insulating boots, headgear and leather welders gloves. x Clothing made of synthetic fabrics and shoes are not suitable. Dry, insulating gloves worn on both hands protect against electric shock (open-circuit voltage of the welding current circuit), hazardous rays (heat and ultra-violet rays) as well as against glowing metals and slag spatters. The ultra-violet radiation causes sunburn-like effects on unprotected parts of the body. Fumes – Vapours – Smoke x During welding hazardous smoke and metal dust develops. We strongly recommend the wearing of welding fume respirators, and to weld only in sufficiently vented rooms, to ensure the necessary operator protection. x For enclosed spaces forced ventilation, installed below the welding area, must be used. x The material to be welded must be free from halogen solvents or degreasing agents, to prevent the generation of toxic vapours. MIG/MAG 140/160 x Metals coated with lead, graphite, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium, or containing any of these materials, can generate much smoke during welding. x Welding releases ozone, which is a type of oxygen that can lead to irritation or disorder of the respiratory organs. x Degreasing agents such as trichlorethylene, tetrachloroethylene etc. vaporise during welding and are chemically converted into phosgene. Phosgene is poisonous! UV-Rays x The arc radiation can cause eye damage and skin burns. x For protection against sparks, heat, visible and invisible rays suitable eye protection gear (welding visor or helmet with standardised filter lenses to class 10 – 15 of DIN 4647, depending on welding current) must be worn. x Do not look into the arc with unprotected eyes (risk of blinding and burns). The invisible ultraviolet radiation causes, with insufficient eye protection, a very painful conjunctivitis, which appears only hours later. x Weld only within the range of visibility of other persons, who can assist you in an emergency. x Other persons or helpers near the arc must be made aware of the hazards, and equipped with the necessary protective gear. x Neighbouring workplaces are to be screened off to provide protection against radiation. x When welding inside rooms and buildings sufficient ventilation must be ensured. A A Fire Danger! The arc temperature is approx. 2400 °C. Before starting to weld observe the following information: x Remove all combustible materials and objects w...
