WARNING! Vapours may constitute a danger to your health!
Stock that has not been properly ground and cleaned before welding may be
contaminated with residues of glues, paints, undercoating products etc. that may
generate harmful or even toxic vapours during welding.
Therefore:
Before you tackle any welding jobs, make sure the sheets you want to weld have
been properly ground and cleaned and are free of residues.
Be sure to be wearing a face screen. Respiratory equipment may be
recommendable in case of doubt.
WARNING! Possibility of injuries due to stumbling and falling!
The work environment may pose stumbling risks. Stumbling and falling may lead to
severe injuries.
Therefore:
Before you tackle any welding jobs, make sure the work area is tidy and free of
clutter and offers enough freedom to move.
Install cables and supply lines in such a way that they do not constitute a stumbling
trap.
When welding, assume a safe and stable working position.
CAUTION! Tipping and toppling may cause damage to property!
This equipment's centre of gravity is relatively high. In the event the wheels jam and / or
block (due to an obstacle or transverse pull, for instance), there is a danger the
equipment tips over.
Therefore:
Move this equipment always using the handles.
Keep potential obstacles out of the work area.
Install cables and supply lines in such a way that they do not constitute a stumbling
trap.
CAUTION! Equipment rolling away may cause damage to property!
The wheels of the equipment must not be blocked because this would cause a tipping
and toppling hazard. On the other side, though, this detail causes and increases the
danger the equipment rolls away.
Therefore:
Be sure to operate this equipment only on a flat and even floor.
Proceed with care when moving this equipment.
