safety instruCtiOns

Kemppi welding devices conform to international safety standards. Safety
is an important issue in equipment design and manufacturing. Therefore,
Kemppi welding solutions are unparalleled in safety. There are, however,
always certain hazards involved in using welding equipment. Therefore, to
ensure your personal safety and the safety of your working environment,
carefully read the safety instructions below and respect them.
use of personal protective equipment
• The arc and its reflecting radiation damage unprotected eyes. Shield
your eyes and face appropriately before you start welding or observe
welding. Also note the different requirements for the darkness of the
screen in the mask as the welding current changes.
• The arc radiation and spatters burn unprotected skin. Always wear
protective gloves, clothing and footwear when welding.
• Always wear hearing protection if the ambient noise level exceeds the
allowable limit (e.g., 85 dB(A)).
general operating safety
• Exercise caution when handling parts heated in welding. For example,
the tip of the welding torch, the end of the welding rod and the work
piece will heat during gouging to a burning temperature.
