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. -
