1.3. 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.
• Never wear the device on the shoulder during welding and never suspend it by the carrying
strap during welding.
• Do not expose the machine to high temperatures, as heat may cause damage to the
machine.
• Keep the torch cable and earthing cable as close to each other as possible throughout their
length. Straighten any loops in the cables. This minimises your exposure to harmful magnetic
fields, which may interfere with a pacemaker, for example.
• Do not wrap the cables around the body.
• In environments classified as dangerous, only use S-marked welding devices with a safe idle
voltage level. These work environments include, for example, humid, hot or small spaces
where the user may be directly exposed to the surrounding conductive pieces.
