► Any metal vapours, especially lead, cadmium, copper and beryllium are
harmful! Ensure sufficient ventilation or extraction. Do not exceed the
current occupational exposure limits (OEL).
► In order to prevent phosgene gas formation, rinse workpieces that have
been degreased with chlorinated solvents using clean water.
Do not place degreasing baths containing chlorine in the vicinity of the
welding area.
► Further hazards may exist in connection with various welding torches, for
example those caused by electrical current (welding power source,
internal circuit), weld spatter with regard to combustible or explosive
materials, UV radiation from the arc, smoke and vapours.
► Adhere to the general fire protection regulations and remove flammable
materials from the vicinity of the welding work area prior to starting
work. Provide appropriate fire extinguishing equipment in the
workplace.

Safety instructions regarding protective clothing
► Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry.
► Useahair net for long hair.
► During operation and in connection with the welding process, always
wear safety goggles, protective gloves and, if necessary,abreathing
mask.
2.6
Safety instructions for use
► Do not exceed the maximum load data specified in the documentation.
Excessive loads lead to irreparable damage.
► Do not make any constructive changes to this device.
► During welding work outdoors, use suitable protection against the
weather conditions.
2.7
Classification of the warnings
The warnings used are divided into four different categories and are
indicated prior to potentially dangerous work steps.
Depending on the type of danger, the following signal words will be used:
2.8
Emergency information
► In the event of an emergency, immediately disconnect the following
supplies: Electrical power supply, coolant supply and shielding gas
supply.
► Consult the documentation for the welding components.
