SAFETY MEASURES
PLEASE READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Handling welding torches presents no danger if the appropriate safety regulations are
strictly adhered to. For example:
•
Starting-up procedures must be reserved for those fully conversant with processes relat-
ing to arc welding equipment.
•
Arc welding can prove damaging to eyes, skin, and hearing! It is therefore imperative
that the Accident Prevention Regulations UVV 26.0 and VGB 15 are fully observed and
that all protective clothing, eye and ear protectors specified are worn.
•
The load data given are maximum limit figures. Overloading will inevitably
damage the torch irrevocably!
•
Before changing wear parts, disconnect for the power supply.
•
The operating instructions for the individual welding components - e.g. power source,
wire feed and cooling unit must be followed.
•
Never pull the cable assembly across sharp edges or set down close to weld spatter or
on a hot workpiece.
•
Those not involved in the welding process should be protected by curtains or
partitions from radiation and the danger of being dazzled.
•
When handling gas cylinders, consult the instructions issued by the manufacturers and
the suppliers of the pressurized gas.
•
Workpieces which have been degreased using chlorinated solvents must be sprayed
down with clean water before welding starts to avoid the risk of phosgene forming. For
the same reason, no degreasing baths containing chlorine must be placed close to the
welding point.
•
All vapors given off by metals can cause harm and a special warning is attached to
lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, and beryllium. If necessary, take appropriate precautions
(by providing adequate ventilation or an extraction system) to ensure that the legal
maximum levels of toxic concentrations are not exceeded.
