    Protecting your- Anyone working with the device exposes themselves to numerous risks, e.g. self and others flying sparks and hot pieces of metal Arc radiation, which can damage eyes and skin Hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can endanger the lives of those using cardiac pacemakers Risk of electrocution from mains current and welding current Greater noise pollution...
  • Page 10: Danger From Toxic Gases And Vapours

    Danger from toxic The fumes produced during welding contain harmful gases and vapours. gases and va- Welding fumes contain substances that may, under certain circumstances, pours cause birth defects or cancer. Keep your face away from welding fumes and gases. Fumes and hazardous gases must not be breathed in must be extracted from the working area using appropriate methods.
  • Page 11: Meandering Welding Currents

    During MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding, the welding wire, the wirespool, the feed rollers and all pieces of metal that are in contact with the welding wire are live. Always set the wirefeeder up on a sufficiently insulated surface or use a suit- able, insulated wirefeeder holder.
  • Page 12: Emc Device Classifications

    If the floor is electrically conductive, the device must be set up with sufficient insulating material to insulate it from the floor. If distribution boards, twin-head mounts, etc., are being used, note the follow- ing: The electrode of the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used is also live.
  • Page 13: Emf Measures

    EMF measures Electromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health: effects on the health of others in the vicinity, e.g. wearers of pacemakers and hearing aids wearers of pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before ap- proaching the device or any welding that is in progress for safety reasons, keep distances between the welding cables and the welder's head/torso as large as possible do not carry welding cables and hosepacks over the shoulders or wind...
  • Page 14: Factors Affecting Welding Results

    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).
