welding arc and from sparks. Do not wear greasy garments as a spark could set fire to them. Use
protective screens to protect people nearby.
• Some parts of the spot-welder (electrodes arms and nearby areas) may reach temperatures of over
65°C: suitable protective clothing must be worn.
• Metal-working gives off sparks and splinters. Wear safety goggles with protective side eye guards.
• Welding sparks can trigger fires.
• Do not weld or cut anywhere near inflammable materials, gasses or vapours.
• Do not weld or cut containers, cylinders, tanks or piping unless a qualified
technician or expert has checked that it is possible to do so, or has made the
appropriate preparations.
EMF Electromagnetic Fields
Welding current creates electromagnetic fields (EMF) near the welding circuits
and the welder. Electromagnetic fields may interfere with medical prostheses
such as pacemakers.
Suitable and sufficient measures should be implemented to protect those
operators having such aids. For instance, they should not be allowed to enter
that area where welding equipment is used. Any operator having such aids
should consult their doctor before coming close to an area where welding
equipment is used.
This device meets the specific requirements of the product technical standard
and is intended for professional use in an industrial environment only.
Compliance to expected limits for human exposure to electromagnetic fields at
home is not ensured.
Follow these strategies to minimise exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF):
• Do not place your body between the welding cables. Both welding cables
should be on the same side of your body.
• Twist both welding cables together and secure them with tape when possible.
• Do not wrap the welding cables around your body.
• Connect the earth cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area to be
welded.
• Keep your head and trunk as far as possible from the welding circuit. Do not
work close to the welder, or seated or leaning on it. Minimum distance: Fig. 7

Class A equipment
This equipment has been designed to be used in professional and industrial
environments.
If this equipment is used in domestic environments and those directly connected to a
low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic
purposes, it may be difficult to ensure compliance to electromagnetic compatibility as
the result of conducted or radiated disturbances.
Welding in conditions of risk
• If welding needs to be done in conditions of risk (electric discharges, suffocation, the
presence of inflammable or explosive materials), make sure that an authorised expert
evaluates the conditions beforehand. Make sure that trained people are present who
can intervene in the event of an emergency. Use the protective equipment described in
5.10; A.7; A.9 of the IEC or CLC/TS 62081 technical specification.
• If you are required to work in a position raised above ground level, always use a
safety platform.
