General Safety Instructions It is necessary to read through the entire Operating Instructions before first use of the appliance. If there are any doubts concerning connection and operation of the appliance, please contact the manufacturer (service department).

PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING

INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE HIGH SAFETY LEVEL: ATTENTION! Switch-on time The appliance output is expressed by the “Einschaltdauer/Switch-on time“ (ED%) data on the type label of the appliance, i.e. ratio between the welding and cooling time. This factor changes at the same appliance according to load conditions, i.e. according to the welding current delivered. It states how long the appliance may work in the given welding current when loaded and always relates to the time interval of 10 minutes. E.g. the appliance works continuously for 6 minutes at welding current for ED 60%. After this time there is a dead phase so that inner parts could cool down and protection against thermal overloading is restarted then. Use of welders and execution of welding works may represent a danger both for person handling the appliance and for others. Therefore the person operating the welder is in all circumstances obliged not only to read the safety regulations given here but also know and observe them. It is necessary to always bear in mind that cautious, well- instructed operating staff strictly performing their duties is the best protection from injuries. You should read the regulations given in the following text and obey them before connection, preparation, use or transport of the appliance. APPLIANCE INSTALLATION

• Installation and maintenance of the appliance must take place in accordance with local safety regulations.

• Pay attention to the state of wear of cables of connecting elements and plugs. They need to be replaced if damaged. Execute regular maintenance of the equipment. Use cables with sufficient cross- section only.

• Connect the grounding cable as near to the workplace as possible.

• Never use the appliance in a wet environment. Make sure the workplace, objects situated around and the welder were dry.

THIRD PARTIES Radiation and heat are generated at the welding process. It is therefore necessary to ensure use of suitable protective means and take measures for personal protection and protection of third parties.

• Never expose yourself or other persons to electric arc or red hot metal effects without necessary protection. Ensure suction of the welding smoke or good ventilation of the welding workplace.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES AGAINST FIRE AND

EXPLOSION Hot cinder parts and sparks may cause fire. Fire and explosion represent other danger. They can be prevented by observing the following rules:• Do not use the appliance in immediate surroundings of easily combustible materials such as wood, wooden sawdust, "varnishes", solvents, petrol, petroleum, natural gas, acetylene, propane and similar inflammable materials. Remove them from the workplace or protect them against sparks.

• A suitable extinguisher needs to be around as a measure for fire extinguishing.

• Do not execute any welding or cutting works on closed vessels or tubes.

• Do not execute any welding or cutting works on vessels or tubes even when open if they contain or have contained any materials that could explode or elicit any dangerous reactions due to heat or moisture. WELDER INSTALLATION The following regulations must be observed at the welder installation:

• The operating staff must have free access to the operating elements and appliance connectors.

• It is not suitable to install the appliance in tight rooms: Sufficient welder ventilation is very important. Avoid heavily dusty or dirty rooms where the equipment could suck in dust or other objects.

• The appliance (including cables) must not be an obstacle in passage or inhibit other persons from working.
