Electromagnetic fields may cause health problems that are not yet known:
-
Effects on the health of persons close by, for example those with pace-
makers, metal implants and hearing aids
- General prohibition for persons with pacemakers: Persons with pacemak-
ers must seek advice from their doctor before working with the device or
being in the immediate vicinity of the device
- General prohibition for persons with metal implants: Persons with metal
implants must seek advice from their doctor before working with the de-
vice or being in the immediate vicinity of the device
Magnetic fields generated by high amperage may eject ferromagnetic parts,
such as spatter accumulations, from the cleaning aperture. To prevent injury,
always wear protective goggles with side protection and never look into the
cleaning aperture when the device is switched on.
You are exposed to numerous hazards while handling the device, for example:
-
Flying sparks and pieces of hot metal
- Arc radiation that poses a risk of injury to the eyes and skin
- Electrical risks from mains current and welding current
- Increased noise exposure
- Harmful welding fumes and gases
Wear suitable protective clothing when dealing with the device. The protective
clothing must have the following properties:
-
Flame resistant
- Insulating and dry
- Covering the entire body and in good condition with no damage
- Safety helmet
- Cuffless pants
Protective clothing involves the following:
-
Protecting the face and eyes from UV radiation, heat and flying sparks
with a face guard featuring a regulation-compliant filter
- Wearing regulation-compliant protective goggles with side protection be-
hind the face guard
- Wearing rigid, wet-insulating footwear
- Protecting hands with appropriate gloves (featuring electrical insulation
and thermal protection)
- Wearing ear protection to reduce noise exposure and protect against in-
jury
Keep persons, especially children, away during the operation of the devices
and during the welding process. If persons are in the vicinity, however:
-
instruct them about all dangers (blinding hazard due to arcs, injury hazard
due to flying sparks, welding fume hazardous to health, noise exposure,
possible hazard due to mains current or welding current, possible hazard
due to electromagnetic fields, possible hazard due to the magnetic field of
the cleaning aperture, moving mechanical parts, compressed air/parting
agent mixture discharged from the cleaning aperture, flying chips or sim-
ilar, etc.),
- provide suitable protective equipment, or
- construct suitable protective walls and curtains.
