Informal Safety Measures - Fronius LaserHybrid WF 25i Operating Instructions Manual

Do not touch workpieces during or after welding – risk of burns.
Slag may fly off from workpieces that are cooling down. For this reason, be sure
to wear regulation-compliant protective equipment and ensure that other people
are sufficiently protected even when reworking workpieces.
Leave the welding torch and other parts with a high operating temperature to
cool before working on them.
Special regulations apply in areas where there is a risk of fire or explosion
– observe relevant national and international regulations.
Power sources for work in spaces where electrical hazards pose a greater risk
(e.g. the boiler room) must be marked with a (Safety) sign. The power source
should not be located in these types of spaces, however.
Risk of scalding due to coolant leakage. Before disconnecting connections for the
coolant supply hose or return connection, switch off the cooling unit.
When handling coolants, observe the specifications on the safety data sheet. The
coolant safety data sheet is available from your service center or from the manu-
facturer's homepage.
Only use suitable load-carrying equipment from the manufacturer for transport-
ing devices by crane.

Always use a suitable wirefeeder hoisting attachment with insulation on the crane
for hoisting the wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the device is fitted with a carrier belt or handle, this should be used exclusively
for transportation by hand. The carrier belt is not suitable for transportation by
crane, counterbalanced lift truck or other mechanical chain hoists.
All lifting equipment (belts, straps, chains, etc.) used in connection with the
device or its components must be checked regularly (e.g., for mechanical dam-
age, corrosion, or changes due to other environmental influences).
The test interval and scope must, as a minimum, comply with the respective valid
national standards and guidelines.
There is a risk of colorless, odorless shielding gas escaping without notice if an
adapter is used for the shielding gas connection. Use suitable Teflon tape to seal
the thread of the shielding gas connection adapter on the device side before in-
stallation.
Informal Safety The Operating Instructions must always be at hand wherever the LaserHybrid
Measures head is being used.
In addition to the Operating Instructions, all applicable local rules and regula-
tions regarding accident prevention and environmental protection must also be
made available and be followed.
All safety and danger notices on the LaserHybrid head must be kept in a legible
state.
Attach chains or ropes to all designated suspension points on suitable load-
carrying equipment.
Chains or ropes must be as close to perpendicular as possible.
Remove the gas cylinder and wirefeeder (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
