Parkside PPSK 40 B2 Operation And Safety Notes Translation Of The Original Instructions page 33

Cutting current generates electromagnetic fields.
„
Do not use if you have a medical implant.
„
Never wrap the cutting cable around your body.
„
Guide cutting cables together.

z Welding mask-specific safety instructions
With the help of a bright light source (e.g. lighter) examine the
„
proper functioning of the welding shield prior to starting with any
cutting work.
Cut spatters can damage the protective screen. Immediately
„
replace damaged or scratched protective screens.
Immediately replace damaged or highly contaminated or splat-
„
tered components.
The device must only be operated by people aged 16 or over.
„
Please familiarise yourself with the cutting safety instructions.
„
To that end, you must also observe the safety instructions of your
plasma cutter.
Always wear a welding helmet while welding and plasma cutting.
„
If it is not used, you could sustain severe lesions to the retina.
Always wear protective clothing during welding and plasma
„
cutting operations.
Never use the welding shield without the protective screen because
„
this could damage the optical unit. There is a risk of damage to the
eyes!
Regularly replace the protective screen to ensure good visibility
„
and fatigue-proof work.
z Environment with 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 position (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 welder;
In wet, humid or hot workplaces where the air humidity or sweat
„
significantly reduces the resistance of human skin and the insulat-
ing properties or effect of protective equipment.
Even a metal conductor or scaffolding can create an environment
„
with increased electrical hazard.
