During use the equipment should not be located directly against a wall, be covered, or be jammed between other equipment to ensure ample air can be taken in through the ventilation louvres. Verify the equipment is correctly connect- ed to the mains voltage. Avoid any tensile load on the mains. Unplug the mains plug from the socket before transferring the equipment to a different location. Always switch the equip- ment off with the ON / OFF switch when not in use. Set the electrode holder down on an insulated pad and allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing the electrodes from the holder. Pay attention to the condition of the welding cables, the elec- trode holders and the earth terminals. Worn insulation and conducting parts can produce hazards and reduce the weld- ing quality. Arc welding produces sparks, melted metal parts and smoke. Therefore note: Remove any flammable substances and / or materials from the work area and its immediate sur- roundings. Ensure the work area is venti- lated. Safety instructions27GB/IE Do not weld atop containers, receptacles or pipes, which do or did contain flammable liquids or gasses. WARNING Avoid any direct contact with the welding circuit. The no-load voltage between the electrode holder and earth terminal can be dan- gerous, there is a risk of elec- tric shock. Do not store or use the equip- ment in a moist or wet environ- ment or in the rain. The Protec- tion Provision IP21S applies in this respect. Protect the eyes with the ap- propriate safety glass (DIN Grad 9-10) to be installed in the included welding shield. Use gloves and dry protec- tive clothing free from oil and grease to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays and the arc. WARNING Do not use the welding power source to thaw pipes. Remember: The arc ray can damage the eyes and cause burns to the skin. Arc welding produces sparks and drops of molten metal, the welded work piece begins to glow and remains very hot for a relatively long time. There- fore do not touch the work piece with bare hands. Arc welding releases noxious fumes. Be careful not to inhale these as best possible. Protect yourself from the danger- ous effects of the arc and keep persons not involved in the work at least 2 m away from the arc. ATTENTION! Depending on mains condi- tions at the connection point, operating the welding equip- ment may interfere with the voltage supply for other loads. When in doubt, please contact your power supply company. Operating the welding equip- ment may interfere with the functionality of other devices, e.g. hearing aids, pacemak- ers, etc. z Safety hazards during arc welding Arc welding produces a variety of safety hazards. It is therefore particularly important for the welder to observe the following rules to avoid putting himself and others in danger and to prevent damage to persons and the equipment. Safety instructions28 GB/IE Only have work to the mains voltage end, e.g. to cables, plugs, outlets, etc. performed by a electrically skilled person in accordance with national and local regulations. In the event of an accident, immediately disconnect the welding equipment from the mains voltage. If electrical contact voltage occurs, immediately switch the equipment off and have it inspected by an electrically skilled person. Always ensure good electrical contacts on the welding cur- rent end. Always wear insulating gloves on both hands whilst welding. These will protect from electric shock (no-load voltage of the welding current), from hazard- ous rays (heat and UV rays) and glowing metal and weld splashes. Wear solid, insulating shoes. The shoes should also insulate when exposed to moisture. Low shoes are not suitable, as glowing metal drops falling could cause burns. Wear suitable protective cloth- ing, no synthetic garments. Do not look into the arc with unprotected eyes, only use a welding shield with approved protective glass per DIN. In addition to light- and heat rays which could result in blinding or burns, the arc also emits UV rays. Without adequate pro- tection, this invisible ultraviolet radiation causes very painful conjunctivitis which is only noticed a few hours later. UV rays further cause burns simi- lar to a sunburn in unprotected areas of the body. Persons near the arc or assis- tants must also be informed of the risks and outfitted with the necessary protection. If neces- sary, set up protective panels. Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air whilst welding, par- ticularly in small spaces, as it produces smoke and harmful gasses. Do not weld containers in which gasses, fuels, mineral oils, etc. were stored - even if emptied a long time ago - as residue poses an explosion hazard. Special regulations apply in rooms posing fire- and explo- sion hazards. Welded joints exposed to great strain and needing to meet certain safety require- Safety instructions29GB/IE ments must be made by spe- cially trained and certified welders. Examples are pres- sure vessels, running rails, tow couplings, etc. ATTENTION! Always connect the earth terminal as close as possible to the point of weld to provide the shortest possible path for the welding current from the electrode to the earth terminal. Never connect the earth terminal to the housing of the welding equipment! Never connect the earth terminal to earthed parts far away from the work piece, e.g. a water pipe in another corner of the room. This could otherwise damage the protective bonding system of the room you are welding. Do not use the welding equip- ment in the rain. Do not use the welding equip- ment in a moist environment. Only place the welding equip- ment in a level location. The output is rated at an ambi- ent temperature of 20 °C. The welding time may be reduced in higher temperatures. Danger of electric shock: Electric shock from a welding electrode can be fatal. Do not weld in rain or snow. Wear dry insulating gloves. Do not touch the elec- trode with bare hands. Do not wear wet or damaged gloves. Protect yourself from electric shock by insulating from the work piece. Do not open the equip- ment housing. Danger due to welding smoke: Inhaling welding smoke can jeopardize your health. Keep your head out of the smoke. Use facilities in open areas. Use venti- lation to remove smoke. Danger due to welding sparks: Welding sparks can cause an ex- plosion or fire. Keep flammables away from the welding area. Do not weld next to flammables. Welding sparks can cause a fire. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and an observer ready to use it. Do not weld on top of drums or any closed containers. Danger due to arc rays: Arc rays can damage the eyes Safety instructions30 GB/IE and injure the skin. Wear a hat and safety goggles. Wear hear- ing protection and a closed, high shirt collar. Wear welding helmets and proper filter sizes. Wear full personal protection. Danger due to electromagneticfields: Welding current produces electro- magnetic fields. Do not use along with medical implants. Never wrap the welding cables around the body. Consolidate welding cables. z Safety notices specific to the welding shield Using a hot light source (e.g. lighter) always check the weld- ing shield is working properly before starting to weld. Welding splashes can damage the glass shield. Replace dam- aged or scratched glass shields immediately. Promptly replace damaged or heavily soiled / splashed com- ponents. The equipment may only be operated by persons who have turned 16. Familiarise yourself with the safety instructions for welding. Also refer to the safety instruc- tions of your welding equip- ment. Always use the welding shield when welding. Failure to use the shield may result in serious injuries to the retina. Always wear protective clothing when welding. Never use the welding shield without protective glass, as the optics can otherwise be dam- aged. Replace the protective glass ear- ly to ensure good visibility and fatigue-proof working. z Tight and moist spaces

When working in tight, moist or hot spaces, use insulating pads and intermediate layers in addition to gauntlet gloves made from leather or other insulating materials to insulate the body from earth. When using welding equip- ment in electrically dangerous conditions, e.g. in tight spaces from conductive walls (kettles, pipes, etc.), in wet spaces (soaking of work clothes), the output voltages of the welding equipment may not be higher than 48 Volts (rms value) in Safety instructions31GB/IE open loop. Based on the out- put voltage this welding equip- ment may be used in these conditions. z Protective clothing

Whilst working the welder must be protected against rays and burns all over the body with the appropriate clothing and face protection. Remem- ber the following steps: Put on protective clothing before welding. Put on gloves. Open windows or vent to ensure air supply. Wear safety goggles and a mask. Wear gauntlet gloves made from suitable material (leather) on both hands. These must be in good condition. Wear suitable aprons to pro- tect the clothing from sparks and burns. When required based on the working method, e.g. welding overhead, wear a protective suit and, if neces- sary, a head guard. z Protecting against rays and burns Mark the work area with a sign „Danger! Do not look into flames!“ to indicate the risk to the eyes. If possible, shield the work areas to protect persons nearby. Keep unauthorised persons away from the weld- ing area. Walls in the direct vicinity of fixed work areas should be neither light coloured nor glossy. Protect windows against rays passing through or reflecting at a minimum to head height, e.g. with suitable paint. z Prior to commissioning Take the device and accessories out of the packaging and check for damages (e.g. transport damages). Fasten the carrying strap to the device (see Fig. C1 – C4). Connect the electrode holder

and the earth terminal

to the welding ma- chine. Insert an electrode into the electrode clamp device (see Fig. D). z Installing the welding shield Install the handle

Use electrode retaining clips without pro- truding retaining screws meeting today‘s safety standards. Be sure the ON / OFF switch

is set to position “O“ (“OFF“) or the main supply cable

is not plugged into the mains socket. Connect the welding cables according to polarity and electrode manufacturer instructions. To do so, connect the port of the earth terminal

(black) with the appropriate outlet on the inverter welding machine (black, marked with “-”). Connect the port of the electrode holder

(red) with the appropriate outlet on the inverter welding device (red, marked with “+”), Put on suitable protective clothing according to provisions and prepare the work area. Connect the earth terminal

to the workpiece. Secure the electrode in the electrode holder

Switch on the device by setting the ON / OFF switch

to the “I“ (“ON“) position. Set the welding current with the control knob

according to the electrode used. Note: Please see the table below for the welding current according to electrode diameter. Ø Electrode welding current

Note: For the welding currents of 80 A to 120 A, please use welding electrodes with a diameter of 3.2 mm (not included in the scope of delivery). Attention: Do not bring the earth terminal

and the electrode holder

electrodes into direct contact with one another. Attention: When welding with elec- trodes (MMA - manual metal arc welding) the electrode holder

and the earth terminal

lug must be connected to positive (+) or negative (-) according to the welding rod specifications. Hold the welding shield

in front of your face and begin welding. To stop working, set the ON / OFF switch

to the “O“ (“OFF“) position. ATTENTION! When the thermal overload protection is triggered, the yellow control lamp

lights up. In this case, no further welding is possible. The device is still in operation for the fan to cool the device. As soon as the device is ready for use again, the yellow control lamp

switches off automatically. The welding function is now given again. ATTENTION! Be careful not to rub the welding rod against the workpiece. This could damage the workpiece and make it difficult to strike an arc. Maintain the proper distance to the workpiece after striking the arc. The distance should correlate to the diameter of the welding rod used. Maintain this distance as accurately and consistently as possible whilst welding. The angle between the welding rod and the working direction should be between 20 and 30 °. Start up33GB/IE ATTENTION! After welding, the welding clamp and the welding rod must be set down on the insulated holder. The fusion slag can only be removed once the rod has cooled down. To re-weld the interrupted weld, the fusion lag must first be removed from the welding position. ATTENTION! A voltage 10 % below the rated input volt- age of the welding tool may result in: A drop in the current of the tool. The arc stopping or becoming unstable. ATTENTION! The arc radiation may cause inflamma- tion of the eye and skin burns. Spray and fusion slag may cause eye injuries and burns. Wear tinted eye goggles or a face shield. The face shield must comply with safety standard EN175. Only use welding cables included in delivery (10 mm2). Note: Determine which welding method is more suitable for yourself after welding a test piece. Note: Once it has worn down completely, the electrode must be replaced. z Maintenance and Cleaning Note: The welding tool requires regular maintenance and reconditioning to work properly and to comply with safety require- ments.
