  • Page 4: Safety Instruction

    SAFETY INSTRUCTION These general safety norms cover both arc welding machines and plasma cutting machines unless otherwise noted. It is important that users of this equipment protect yourselves and others from harm or even death. The equipment must only be used for the purpose it was designed for. Using it in any other way could result in damage or injury and in breach of the safety rules.
  • Page 5: Welding Processes Lens Shade Selector Guide

    SAFETY INSTRUCTION Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Welding arc rays from all welding processes produce intense, visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. • Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with an appropriate shade of filter lens to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching.
  • Page 6: Fume And Welding Gases

    SAFETY INSTRUCTION Safety against fumes and welding gases The HSE have identified welders as being an ‘at risk’ group for occupational diseases arising from exposure to dusts, gases, vapours and welding fumes. The main identified health effects are pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung and kidney cancer, metal fume fever (MFF) and lung function changes.
  • Page 7: The Working Environment

    SAFETY INSTRUCTION The working environment Ensure the machine is mounted in a safe and stable position allowing for cooling air circulation. Do not operate equipment in an environment outside the laid down operating parameters. The welding power source is not suitable for use in rain or snow. Always store the machine in a clean, dry space.
  • Page 8: Rf Declaration

    SAFETY INSTRUCTION RF Declaration Equipment that complies with directive 2014/30/EU concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and the technical requirements of EN60974-10 is designed for use in industrial buildings and not those for domestic use where electricity is provided via the low voltage public distribution system. Difficulties may arise in assuring class A electromagnetic compatibility for systems installed in domestic locations due to conducted and radiated emissions.
