- Always protect your eyes with proper filter, mounted on masks or use helmets. Use the relative fire-resistant clothing
and welding gloves without exposing the skin to the ultraviolet and infrared rays produced by the arc; the protection
must extend to other people who are near the arc by screens or nonreflective sheets.
- Always isolate electrode from welded object and possible grounded metal parts nearby.
Electromagnetic Radiation:
- The flow of the welding current generates electromagnetic fields (EMF) around the welding circuit.
Electromagnetic fields can interfere with certain medical equipment (e.g. pace-makers, respiratory equipment, metallic
prostheses etc.). Adequate protective measures must be adopted for persons with these types of medical apparatus.
Non-Ionizing Radiation:
This welding machine conforms to technical product standards for exclusive use in an industrial environment for
professional purposes. It does not assure compliance with the basic limits relative to human exposure to
electromagnetic fields in the domestic environment.
Extra precautions:
- WELDING OPERATIONS:
- in environments with increased risk of electric shock
- in confined spaces
- in the presence of flammable or explosive materials
MUST
BE evaluated in advance by an “expert supervisor” and must always be carried out in the presence of other
people trained to intervene in emergencies.
The operator MUST NOT BE ALLOWED to weld in raised positions unless safety platforms are used.
- VOLTAGE BETWEEN ELECTRODE HOLDERS OR TORCHES:
working with more than one welding machine on a single piece or on pieces that are connected electrically may
generate a dangerous accumulation of no-load voltage between two different electrode holders or torches, the value
of which may reach double the allowed limit. An expert coordinator must measure the apparatus to determine any
risks and apply suitable protection measures.
Residual Risks
- IMPROPER USE: it is hazardous to use the welding machine for any work other than that for which it was designed
(e.g. de-icing mains water pipes).
- Do not use the handle to hang the welding machine.
- In case of any malfunction, follow instructions step by step.
- If you cannot solve a problem by yourself, please, contact authorized service provider.
- Welding machine must be connected to the power supply equipped with the earth leakage circuit breaker.
