Specific danger
points
Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from moving parts. For example:
-
Fans
- Cogs
- Rollers
- Shafts
- Wirespools and welding wires
Do not reach into the rotating cogs of the wire drive or into rotating drive com-
ponents.
Covers and side panels may only be opened/removed while maintenance or
repair work is being carried out.
When in use:
-
ensure that all covers are closed and all side panels are fitted properly.
- keep all covers and side panels closed.
A high risk of injury exists when the welding wire emerges from the welding
torch (piercing of the hand, injuries to the face and eyes, etc.). Always keep
the torch well away from the body (devices with a wire-feed unit).
Never touch the workpiece during or after welding - risk of burns.
Slag can sometimes fly off workpieces as they cool down. The specified pro-
tective equipment must therefore also be worn when reworking workpieces,
and steps must be taken to ensure that other people are also adequately pro-
tected.
Welding torches and other parts with a high operating temperature must be al-
lowed to cool down before handling.
Special provisions apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion - observe relevant
national and international regulations.
Power sources that are to be used in rooms/areas with increased electric risk
(e.g. near boilers) must carry the "Safety" sign. However, the power source
must not be located in such areas.
Risk of scalding from escaping coolant. Switch off cooling unit before discon-
necting coolant flow or return lines.
Use only suitable load-carrying equipment supplied by the manufacturer when
transporting devices by crane.
- Hook chains and/or ropes onto the suspension points provided on the
load-carrying equipment.
- Chains/ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical.
- Remove gas cylinder and wire-feed unit (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
