The welder must not be exposed to rain and moisture when being operated or stored. Check the voltage. Technical data given on the type label must correspond with electric network voltage. Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying with current regulations. Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and with a cable cross-section of not less than

1.5 mm2. Use of extension cables of dierent length

and cross-section and also of adapters and multiple sockets should be avoided. Check the cable and/or socket for damages before the appliance putting into operation. Defective cable or plug may cause electric shock. Do not pull the service cable to pull the plug out of socket. Do not expose yourself or other persons without pro

tection to electric arc or hot metal. Spraying welding pearls may cause burns. A suitable welding shield, protective clothes and protective gloves to be worn at all times. Long-term inhalation of welding gases may be harm

ful to your health. Work with an exhaust system or in well ventilated spaces. Avoid direct inhalation of gases. Contact with the hose bundle nozzle and the material being processed may cause burns.
