Design and function
WARNING
Risk of injury from electrical voltage!
Contact with live parts, e.g. power connections, can be fatal!
• Observe the safety information on the first pages of the operating instructions!
• Commissioning must be carried out by persons who are specifically trained in handling
power sources!
• Connect connection or power cables while the machine is switched off!
CAUTION
Risk from electrical current!
If welding is carried out alternately using different methods and if a welding torch and
an electrode holder remain connected to the machine, the open-circuit/welding voltage
is applied simultaneously on all cables.
• The torch and the electrode holder should therefore always be placed on an insulated
surface before starting work and during breaks.
Read and observe the documentation to all system and accessory components!
5.1
Transport and installation
WARNING
Risk of accident due to improper transport of machines that must not be lifted!
Do not lift or suspend the machine! The machine can drop and cause injuries! The
handles, straps or brackets are suitable for transport by hand only!
• The machine must not be suspended or lifted using a crane.
• Depending on machine type, equipment for lifting by crane or use while suspended is
available as a retrofitting option
> see 9 chapter
.
5.1.1
Ambient conditions
The machine must not be operated in the open air and must only be set up and operated on a
suitable, stable and level base!
• The operator must ensure that the ground is non-slip and level, and provide sufficient lighting
for the place of work.
• Safe operation of the machine must be guaranteed at all times.
Equipment damage due to contamination!
Unusually high amounts of dust, acids, corrosive gases or substances can damage the machine
(observe maintenance intervals > see 6.2 chapter).
• Avoid large amounts of smoke, steam, oily fumes, grinding dust and corrosive ambient air!
In operation
Temperature range of the ambient air:
• -25 °C to +40 °C (-13 °F to 104 °F)
[1]
Relative humidity:
• up to 50 % at 40 °C (104 °F)
• up to 90 % at 20 °C (68 °F)
Transport and storage
Storage in a closed room, temperature range of the ambient air:
• -30 °C to +70 °C (-22 °F to 158 °F)
[1]
Relative humidity
• up to 90 % at 20 °C (68 °F)
