pressure regulator designed for argon. Do not use gas cylinders of which
content is uncertain.
The gas cylinder should always be secured in an upright position to a wall or
a specially designed cylinder rack. After welding always turn off the cylinder
valve. Handling of gas cylinders must always be done in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING:
Gas cylinder may explode if dropped or fallen over.
9.2. BURNS
A welder must be fitted with a suitable non-flammable clothing, welding
gloves, suitable footwear and welding mask. High temperature of the arc,
welding splatter and ultraviolet radiation can cause dangerous injuries.
9.3. HARMFUL FACTORS
Welding process causes emission of vapours harmful to your health. Welding
stand should be provided with efficiently operating ventilation. If the
ventilation is not sufficient, use appropriate protective masks.
Without appropriate gas masks do not weld metals containing lithium,
cadmium, zinc, and beryllium.
When welding with alternating current there is emitted noise with
considerable intensity depending on the value and frequency of welding
current.
9.4. ELECTRIC SHOCK
Do not touch live electrical parts. Do not work in damp places and do not
place the power supply on wet surfaces. Keep your clothing and body dry. Do
not operate the rectifier without housing covers. Inspect the power cords,
plugs and sockets, and the condition of the insulation of all current
conducting wires and welding holders.
CAUTION! HIGH VOLTAGE OF IONIZER OPERATION.
Don't press the welding torch switch when working in TIG mode using non-
contact ignition (with ionizer), if the torch is not directed towards the welded
workpiece. Do not use wet nor highly damaged welding torches.
Any repairs and inspections must be carried out by qualified and
authorized persons.
Do not use the equipment to defrosting of sewerage pipes!
