Principal Safety Standards - Jetline 9600 Series Operation Manual

9629 Microprocessor Controller
".... there is now a very large volume of scientific
findings based on experiments at the cellular
level and from studies with animals and people
which clearly establish that low frequency
magnetic fields can interact with, and produce
changes in, biological systems. While most of
this work is of very high quality, the results are
complex. Current scientific understanding does
not yet allow us to interpret the evidence in a
single coherent framework. Even more frustrat-
ing, it does not yet allow us to draw definite
conclusions abut questions of possible risk or to
offer clear science-based advice on strategies to
minimize or avoid potential risks."
To reduce magnetic fields in the work place, use
the following procedures:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or
taping them.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from
the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around the
body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as
far away as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close
to the weld as possible.
About Pacemakers:
The above procedures are among those also
normally recommended for pacemaker wearers.
Consult your doctor for complete information.
