� Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the application. � Stop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not darken when the arc is struck. NOISE can damage hearing. Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing. �...
� Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases. � Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air- supplied respirator.

� Avoir recours à des écrans protecteurs ou à des rideaux pour protéger les autres contre les rayonnements les éblouissements et les étincelles ; prévenir toute personne sur les lieux de ne pas regarder l’arc. � Porter un équipement de protection pour le corps fait d’un matériau résistant et ignifuge (cuir, coton robuste, laine).
LES FUMÉES ET LES GAZ peuvent être dangereux. Le soudage produit des vapeurs et des gaz. Respirer ces vapeurs et ces gaz peut être dangereux pour votre santé. � Écarter la tête des fumées. Ne pas inhaler ces fumées. � À l’intérieur, ventiler la zone et/ou utiliser une ventilation forcée au niveau de l’arc pour l’éva- cuation des fumées et des gaz de soudage.
