Dangers due to the equipment
Electricity
DANGER ! Electricity constitutes a danger to life and limb.
Touching live components can result in a fatal electrical shock. Therefore:
As soon as you notice any damage to insulation, disconnect the power supply and have
the damage repaired.
Do not open this equipment yourself. Have all repairs carried out by service personnel,
exclusively. Have works on electrical equipment carried out by skilled electricians,
exclusively.
Before any and all electrical works: disconnect power, earth and short. Check whether
equipment is really dead.
Keep live components away from liquids and humidity. They may cause short circuits.
Protect cables against running over, contact with oils, aggressive substances, tools,
pointed and/or hot objects.
When pulling from a socket: Never pull on the cable. Pull on the plug.
Do not use the cable to trail or drag equipment over the floor. Always grab equipment by
the handles provided for that purpose.
Use strain relief clamps to protect cables.
Make sure protective ground conductors have been connected properly.
After disconnecting the welder from the mains the welder still contains residual current for
approx. 15 minutes.
Electromagnetic fields
DANGER! Electromagnetic fields pose a potentially fatal hazard to people with
pacemakers or other magnetisable implants.
Electromagnetic fields affect the functionality of pacemakers and other magnetisable implants.
Electromagnetic fields can irritate human sense organs, nerve and muscle cells. Therefore:
Persons with pacemakers or other magnetisable implants must not approach the work
area.
Be sure to put up suitable warning signs.
Be sure to put warning signs on access ways and doors leading to the work area.
Do not guide welding cables along people's heads or spines. (To comply safely with
permissible exposure limits, keep distances
≥
20 cm. Keep a distance of at least 1 cm
between cable assemblies and people's heads / spines.)
Splashes, flying sparks
WARNING ! Splashes and flying sparks constitute a danger of fire and explosion.
Splashes and flying sparks pose a risk of injuries.
Welding generates sparks and -hot spatter. They can ignite combustible materials and generate
explosions. Contact with body parts may entail injuries. Therefore:
Before you tackle any welding jobs, make sure there are no combustible and/or explosive
materials in the work area.
Do not carry out welding jobs in the vicinity of pressure vessels, tanks, oil barrels, paint
cans and/or in a work area with an explosive atmosphere.
Have fire extinguishing gear ready at hand.
Make sure access and escape routes are not blocked.
During any and all welding jobs: be sure to be wearing a face screen, non-inflammable
safety clothing and welder's gloves.
Do not carry easily inflammable objects in your pockets (matches, lighters etc.).
