Safety instructions for welding
► Arc welding may cause damage to the eyes, skin and hearing. Please note that other hazards may arise
when the device is used with other welding components. The personal protective clothing prescribed by
local regulations must therefore always be worn.
► All metal vapors, especially from lead, cadmium, copper, and beryllium, are harmful. Ensure sufficient
ventilation or extraction. Do not exceed the current occupational exposure limits (OEL).
► To prevent the formation of phosgene gas, 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.
► 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.
