Risk of accidents if these safety instructions are not observed!
Non-observance of these safety instructions is potentially fatal!
•
Carefully read the safety information in this manual!
•
Observe the accident prevention regulations in your country.
•
Inform persons in the working area that they must observe the regulations!
Risk of injury due to radiation or heat!
Arc radiation results in injury to skin and eyes.
Contact with hot workpieces and sparks results in burns.
•
Use welding shield or welding helmet with the appropriate safety level (depending on the
application)!
•
Wear dry protective clothing (e.g. welding shield, gloves, etc.) according to the relevant
regulations in the country in question!
•
Protect persons not involved in the work against arc beams and the risk of glare using
safety curtains!
Explosion risk!
Apparently harmless substances in closed containers may generate excessive pressure
when heated.
•
Move containers with inflammable or explosive liquids away from the working area!
•
Never heat explosive liquids, dusts or gases by welding or cutting!
Smoke and gases!
Smoke and gases can lead to breathing difficulties and poisoning. In addition, solvent
vapour (chlorinated hydrocarbon) may be converted into poisonous phosgene due to
the ultraviolet radiation of the arc!
•
Ensure that there is sufficient fresh air!
•
Keep solvent vapour away from the arc beam field!
•
Wear suitable breathing apparatus if appropriate!
Fire hazard!
Flames may arise as a result of the high temperatures, stray sparks, glowing-hot parts
and hot slag produced during the welding process.
Stray welding currents can also result in flames forming!
•
Check for fire hazards in the working area!
•
Do not carry any easily flammable objects such as matches or lighters.
•
Keep appropriate fire extinguishing equipment to hand in the working area!
•
Thoroughly remove any residue of flammable substances from the workpiece before
starting welding.
•
Only continue work on welded workpieces once they have cooled down.
Do not allow to come into contact with flammable material!
•
Connect welding leads correctly!
Noise exposure!
Noise exceeding 70 dBA can cause permanent hearing damage!
•
Wear suitable ear protection!
•
Persons located within the working area must wear suitable ear protection!
