Fumes and hazardous gases
-
must not be breathed in,
- must be extracted from the working area using appropriate methods.
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air.
Otherwise, a protective mask with an air supply must be worn.
If there is any doubt about whether the extraction capacity is sufficient, the measured toxic
emission values should be compared with the permissible limit values.
The following components are responsible, amongst other things, for the degree of toxicity
of welding fumes:
-
Metals used for the workpiece,
- Coating of the process tapes,
- Coatings of the materials,
- Additives (e.g. adhesive),
- Cleaners, degreasers, etc.
The relevant material safety data sheets and manufacturer's specifications for the listed
components should therefore be studied carefully.
Flammable fumes (e.g. solvent fumes) should be kept away from the direct welding pro-
cess.
Danger from fly-
ing sparks Flying sparks may cause fires or explosions.
Never weld close to flammable materials.
Flammable materials must be at least 11 metres (35 ft) away from the welding process, or
covered with an approved cover.
A suitable, tested fire extinguisher must be available and ready for use.
Sparks and pieces of hot metal may also get into adjacent areas through small gaps or
openings. Take appropriate precautions to prevent any danger of injury or fire.
Welding must not be performed in areas that are subject to fire or explosion or near sealed
tanks, vessels or pipes unless these have been prepared in accordance with the relevant
national and international standards.
Do not carry out welding on containers that are being or have been used to store gases,
propellants, mineral oils or similar products. Residues pose an explosive hazard.
Risks from mains
current and weld-
ing current An electric shock is potentially life threatening and can be fatal.
Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device.
Make sure that you and others are protected with an adequately insulated, dry temporary
backing or cover for the earth or ground potential. This temporary backing or cover must
extend over the entire area between the body and the earth or ground potential.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately dimen-
sioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimensioned cables and
leads must be repaired/replaced immediately.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician to ensure the
ground conductor is functioning properly.
The device must only be operated on a mains supply with a ground conductor and a socket
with a ground conductor contact.
