Specific hazards

12
Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from moving parts. For example:
- Fans
- Cogs
- Rollers
- Shafts
- Wirespools and welding wires
Do not reach into the rotating cogs of the wire drive or into rotating drive com-
ponents.
Covers and side panels may only be opened/removed while maintenance or
repair work is being carried out.
During operation
- Ensure that all covers are closed and all side panels are fitted properly.
- Keep all covers and side panels closed.
The welding wire emerging from the welding torch poses a high risk of injury
(piercing of the hand, injuries to the face and eyes, etc.).
Therefore always keep the welding torch away from the body (devices with
wire-feed unit) and wear suitable protective goggles.
Never touch the workpiece during or after welding - risk of burns.
Slag can jump off cooling workpieces. The specified protective equipment
must therefore also be worn when reworking workpieces, and steps must be
taken to ensure that other people are also adequately protected.
Welding torches and other parts with a high operating temperature must be al-
lowed to cool down before handling.
Special provisions apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion - observe relevant
national and international regulations.
Power sources for work in areas with increased electric risk (e.g. near boilers)
must carry the "Safety" sign. However, the power source must not be located
in such areas.
Risk of scalding from escaping coolant. Switch off cooling unit before discon-
necting coolant flow or return lines.
Observe the information on the coolant safety data sheet when handling cool-
ant. The coolant safety data sheet may be obtained from your service centre
or downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
Use only suitable load-carrying equipment supplied by the manufacturer when
transporting devices by crane.
- Hook chains and/or ropes onto all suspension points provided on the
load-carrying equipment.
- Chains and ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical.
- Remove gas cylinder and wire-feed unit (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the wire-feed unit is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use
a suitable, insulated wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG de-
vices).
