1.2
In case of welding work in fire or explosion endan-
●
gered environments, you should always ask for a
welding permission.
Remove combustible parts from the vicinity or cover
●
such parts.
Name a fire watch during and after welding work.
●
Do not clamp the welding rod holder and the inert
●
gas welding gun under your arm and lay these parts
only on an insulated top.
Place the inert gas bottles in a safe place and se-
●
cure them against falling over.
Use a protective screen or an arcing shield with
●
welding glass, wear welding gloves and clothes,
this applies also for assisting persons.
Switch the welding unit off before connecting weld-
●
ing cables.
Behaviour in case of faults
Check electrode holders and electric cables at reg-
●
ular intervals.
In case of deficiencies switch off the welding unit
●
and inform supervising persons.
In case of an extractor fan failure or any other fault
●
inform the supervising persons.
Maintenance; waste disposal
Replace damaged insulating jaws and welding rod
●
holders immediately.
Replace the welding wire reels only in deenergized
●
state.
What to do in case of accidents; First Aid
Keep calm.
●
Call first air helpers.
●
Report the accident.
●
In case of an electric accident: Interrupt the power
●
supply and remove the injured person from the
electric circuit. If breathing and heart have stopped
apply reactivation measures and call for an emer-
gency doctor.
Old oils
Prolonged and repetitive contact with mineral oils will
remove the natural greases from the skin and causes
dryness, irritation and dermatitis. Moreover, used en-
gine oils contain potentially hazardous contaminants,
which could cause skin cancer. Appropriate skin pro-
tection agents and washing facilities must therefore
be provided.
Wear protective clothes and safety gloves, if possi-
●
ble.
If there is a risk of eye contact you should protect
●
your eyes appropriately, e.g. chemistry goggles or
10
full face visor; a facility suitable for rinsing the eyes
should also be available.
Avoid prolonged and repetitive contact with oil, es-
●
pecially with old oil. In case of open incisions and in-
juries seek medical advice immediately.
Apply protective cream before starting work, so that
●
oil can be easier removed from the skin.
Wash with soap and water to ensure that all oil has
●
been removed (a skin cleaning agent and a nail
brush will help). Lanolin containing agents will re-
place natural skin oils that were lost.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel, thinner or
●
solvents to wash the skin.
Do not put oil soaked cloths into your pockets.
●
Avoid clothes, especially underpants, getting soiled
●
by oil.
Overalls must be washed at regular intervals.
●
Clothes that cannot be washed, must be disposed
of.
If possible degrease components before handling.
●
Environment
It is strictly prohibited to drain off oil into the soil,
the sewer system or into natural waters. Entrust
special companies with the waste disposal of old
oil. If in doubt you should consult your local au-
thorities.
Hydraulics
Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure can pene-
●
trate the skin and cause severe injury. You should
therefore relieve the pressure in the system before
disconnecting any lines.
Before applying pressure to the system make sure
●
that all line connections and ports have been prop-
erly tightened and are in perfect condition.
Hydraulic oil leaking out of a small opening can
●
hardly be noticed, therefore please use a piece of
cardboard or wood when checking for leaks. When
being injured by hydraulic oil consult a physician im-
mediately, as otherwise this may cause severe in-
fections.
Do not step in front of or behind the drums/wheels/
●
crawler tracks when performing adjustment work in
the hydraulic system while the engine is running.
Block drums and/or wheels / crawler tracks with
wedges.
