Arc welding can be dangerous and can cause serious and even fatal injuries.
Protect yourself and others.
Ensure the following safety precautions are taken:
Arc radiation
Protect yourself with a helmet fitted with filters in compliance with EN169 or EN 379.
Rain, steam, damp
Use your welding unit in a clean/dry environment (pollution factor ≤ 3), on a flat
surface, and more than one meter from the welding work-piece. Do not use in rain or
snow.
Electric shock
This device must only be used with an earthed power supply. Do not touch the parts
under tension. Check that the power supply is suitable for this unit.
Falls
Do not move the unit over people or objects.
Burns
"Wear protective (fire-proof) clothing (cotton, overalls or jeans).
Wear protective gloves and a fire-proof apron.
Ensure other people keep a safe distance from the work area and do not look directly
at the welding arc.
Protect others by installing fire-proof protection walls."
Fire risks
Remove all flammable products from the work area. Do not work in
presence of flammable gases.
Fumes
Do not inhale welding gases and fumes. Use the device in a well venti-
lated environment, with artificial extraction if welding indoors.
Additional precautions
"Any welding operation undertaken in precautions
- rooms where there is an increased risk of electric shocks,
- Poorly ventilated rooms,
- In the presence of flammable or explosive material, should always be approved by a
«responsible expert», and made in presence of people trained to intervene in case of
emergency.
Technical protection as described in the Technical Specification CEI/IEC 62081 must
be implemented. Welding in raised positions is forbidden, except in case of safety
platforms use."
People wearing Pacemakers are advised to see their doctor before using this device.
Do not use the welding unit to unfreeze pipes.
