DANGER
In the environment of resistance welding systems, magnetic field
strengths have to be expected which are above the limit values spe-
cified in VDE 0848 Part 4. Especially if manual guns are used, the limit
values for extremities may be exceeded.
In cases of doubt, you should measure the field strength and take
additional measures to ensure safety and health at work.
CAUTION
The strong magnetic fields occurring in the resistance welding pro-
cess may cause permanent damage to wrist watches, pocket
watches, or cards with magnetic stripes (e.g. EC cards).
Therefore, you should not carry any such items on you when working
in the immediate vicinity of the welding equipment.
