Environment With Increased Electrical Hazard; Welding In Tight Spaces - Parkside PESG 120 B4 Operation And Safety Notes

Safety instructions
Never use the welding mask
„ z
without the protective screen
because this could damage the
optical unit.
Regularly replace the protective
„ z
screen to ensure good visibility
and fatigue-proof work.
Environment with
z z
increased electrical
hazard
Environments with increased
electrical hazard may be
encountered, for example:
In workplaces where the space
„
for movement is restricted,
such that the operator is
working in a forced posture
(e.g.: kneeling, sitting, lying)
and is touching electrically
conductive parts;
In workplaces which are
„
restricted completely or in
part in terms of electrical
conductivity and where there is
a high risk through avoidable
or accidental touching by the
operator;
In wet, humid or hot work-
„
places where the air humidity
or weld significantly reduces
the resistance of human skin
and the insulating properties
14 GB
or effect of protective
equipment.
Even a metal conductor or
scaffolding can create an
environment with increased
electrical hazard.
When using welding devices
under electrically dangerous con-
ditions, the output voltage of the
welding device must be greater
than 35 volt when idling (effec-
tive value). Based on the output
voltage this welding device may
not be used in these conditions.

Welding in tight spaces

When welding in tight spaces this
may pose a hazard through toxic
gases (risk of suffocation). In tight
spaces the device may only be
operated if there are trained indi-
viduals in the immediate vicinity
who can intervene if necessary.
In this case, before starting to use
the welding device, an expert
must carry out an assessment in
order to determine what steps are
necessary, in order to guarantee
safety at work and which pre-
cautionary measures should be
taken during the actual welding
procedure.
