welding wire.
While extracting the wire from the spool by hand, it may spring suddenly and injure you or a nearby person,
●
protect especially your eyes and face.
●
Make sure that there is no one close.
Wrong positioned power source or other equipment may cause serious injury to persons
or damage to objects.
●While re-positioning the power source always carry by using the lifting eye. Never pull cable, hose or Gun.
Always carry the gas cylinders separately.
Before carrying the welding and cutting equipment, disassemble all the connections between
●
separately carry the small ones by handgrips and the big ones by lifting eyes or by using appropriate
vehicles like forklifts.
●Install your machine on flat platforms having maximum 10° slope that it does not fall over. Install it on well
ventilated, non-confined places away from the dust, also avoiding the risk of falling caused by cables and
hoses. For gas cylinders not to fall over, attach it to the mobile machine or to the wall with a chain.
●Ensure that operators easily reach the controls and connections on the machine.
SAFETY RULES
WELDING WIRE MAY CAUSE INJURY
WELDING CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Never weld near flammable material. It may cause fire or explosions.
●
Before starting to weld, move flammables away or protect them with flame-proof
●
covers.
●Do not weld on and cut closed tubes or pipes.
●Before welding on closed containers, open and clear them entirely. Welding
operations on these parts must be performed with the utmost caution.
●Never weld containers or pipes containing or which have contained substances
that could give rise to explosions.
Welding equipment warms up so never position them on flammable surfaces.
●Welding sparks can cause fire. For that reason, keep extinguishing means, such as fire
extinguishers, water and sand easy reach.
Have and maintain security valves, regulators and other valves on the flammable,
●
explosive and compressed gas circuits in good condition by periodical controls,
used for welding and cutting operations.
