Safety
Hazard-free working with the machine is only
possible if you read the operating and safety
instructions completely and strictly observe
them.
Please obtain practical training before using
the machine for the first time. Follow the acci-
dent prevention regulations (UVV
1)
).
Remove all solvents, degreasers, and other
flammable materials from the working area be-
fore starting welding. Cover flammable materi-
als which can not be moved. Only weld if the
ambient air contains no high concentrations
of dust, acidic vapours, gases or flammable
substances. Special care must be taken during
repair work on pipe systems and tanks which
contain or have contained flammable liquids
or gases.
Never touch live parts inside or outside of the
housing. Never touch welding electrodes or
live welding current parts in a machine that is
on.
Do not expose the machine to rain; do not
clean with sprays or steam jets.
Always use a protection shield when welding.
Warn anyone in the work area about the dan-
gers of arc rays.
Please use a suitable extraction system for gas-
es and cutting vapours.
Always wear breathing apparatus whenever
there is a risk of inhaling welding or cutting
fumes.
If the power cable is damaged or severed while
working, do not touch the cable, but immedi-
ately pull out the mains plug. Never use a ma-
chine if the mains cable is damaged.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the welding area.
Check the welding area for fire after welding
(see Accident prevention
1)
).
Never try to disassemble the pressure reducer.
Replace the pressure reducer if faulty.
The machine must be transported or set up
only on firm, level surfaces.
The maximum admissible angle of inclination
for setting up or transporting is 10°.
Service and repair work may only be carried out by a
trained electrician.
1)
Only applicable for Germany. Can be ordered from Carl Heyman-
ns-Verlag, Luxemburger Str. 449, 50939 Köln.
Ensure that there is good direct contact for the ground ca-
ble immediately beside the weld point. Do not pass the
welding current through chains, ball bearings, steel cables,
grounding conductors, etc., as it could cause these to melt.
Secure yourself and the welding machine when working
in elevated or inclined areas.
The machine should be connected only to a properly
grounded mains supply. (Three-phase four-wire system
with grounded neutral conductor or single phase-three-
wire system with grounded neutral conductor) socket and
extension cable must have a functional protective con-
ductor.
Wear protective clothing, leather gloves and a leather
apron.
Protect the welding area with curtains or mobile screens.
Do not use welding equipment to thaw out frozen water
pipes or lines.
In closed containers, under cramped conditions, and in
high electrical risk areas, only use machines with the S sign.
When taking a break, switch off the machine and close the
valve on the gas cylinder.
Secure the gas cylinder with a chain to prevent it falling
over.
Disconnect the mains plug from the mains before chang-
ing the place of installation or making repairs to the ma-
chine.
Please heed the safety regulations which apply to your coun-
try. Subject to change.

Ambient conditions
Temperature range of ambient air:
In operation: -10 °C ... +40 °C (+14 °F to +104 °F)
Transport
and storage: -25 °C ... +55 °C (-13 °F to +131 °F)
Relative humidity:
up to 50 % at 40 °C (104 °F)
up to 90 % at 20 °C (68 °F)
Operation, storage and transport may only be
carried out within the ranges indicated! Use
outside of this range is considered to be not
as intended. The manufacturer is not liable for
damages cause by misuse.
Ambient air must be free of dust, acids, corrosive gases or oth-
er damaging substances!

General regulation of use
The device is intended for feeding in welding wire (filler mate-
rial) in combination with a welding power source under com-
mercial and industrial usage conditions.
