Always isolate the burner when laying it down (re-
move possible electrode residues).
l
Protect cables from being damaged, use cables
with insulated couplings.
l
Ensure sufficient fire protection, keep a fire extin-
guisher at hand.

Welding work in areas where there is a risk of fire or
explosion, must only be carried out with welding
permission.
l
Remove any combustible materials from the weld-
ing area or cover such items appropriately.
l
Name a fire watch during and after welding work.
l
Place welding rod holders and inert gas welding
guns only on properly insulated bases.
l
Place the inert gas bottles in a safe place and se-
cure them against falling over.
l
Use a protective screen or hand shield with welding
filter, wear welding gloves and clothes.

What to do in case of accidents; First Aid
l
Keep calm.
l
Call first air helpers.
l
Report the accident.

apply reactivation measures and call for an emer-
gency doctor.
Operation of high-voltage systems
i Note
The rules and statutory regulations valid in the corre-
sponding do apply in addition to the notes given here.
!
Caution
The high-voltage system must only be operated
and serviced by qualified and authorized person-
nel.
Before starting operation the operator must check
the proper condition of the system.
!
Danger
Possibility of injury or even death caused by elec-
tric shock:
l
if persons come into contact with live parts,
l
in case of faulty insulation of live parts,
l
inadequate, unsuitable insulation,
l
if melted parts flake off in case of short circuits.
Old oils
Prolonged and repetitive contact with mineral oils will
remove the natural greases from the skin and causes
dryness, irritation and dermatitis. Moreover, used en-
gine oils contain potentially hazardous contaminants,
which could cause skin cancer. Appropriate skin pro-
tection agents and washing facilities must therefore
be provided.
l
Wear protective clothes and safety gloves, if possi-
ble.
l
If there is a risk of eye contact you should protect
your eyes appropriately, e.g. chemistry goggles or
full face visor; a facility suitable for rinsing the eyes
should also be available.
l
Avoid longer and repetitive contacts with oils. In
case of open incisions and injuries seek medical ad-
vice immediately.
l
Apply protective cream before starting work, so that
oil can be easier removed from the skin.
l
Wash affected skin areas with water and soap (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). Lanolin con-
taining agents will replace natural skin oils that were
lost.
l
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel, thinner or
solvents to wash the skin.
l
Do not put oil soaked cloths into your pockets.
l
Avoid clothes getting soiled by oil.
l
Overalls must be washed at regular intervals. Dis-
pose of non-washable clothes environmentally.
l
If possible degrease components before handling.
