Before leaving the workplace, make sure that no personal injury or property damage could arise in
absence.
4.3 Personal and personnel protection
Warning of heat or radiation, injury to the eyes and hands
When operating the device the following dangers might arise, such as:
♦
Flying sparks, ejected hot metal parts. A risk of burns.
♦
Arc radiation harmful to the eyes and skin
♦
Harmful electromagnetic fields that pose a risk of death to pacemaker users
♦
Electrical hazards due to mains and welding current
♦
The tip of the electrode fastened into the hand piece can present a risk of injury (due to puncture injuries
and scratches, e.g. to the hands, face and eyes).
♦
Hazardous welding fumes and gases
♦
The workpiece and electrode tip can become extremely hot during welding. A risk of burns.
Wear suitable protective clothing when handling the device. Protective clothing shall include the following
characteristics:
♦
Low flammability
♦
Insulating and dry
♦
Full body coverage, undamaged and in good condition
♦
Safety helmet
♦
Trousers without turn-ups
Protective clothing includes the following:
♦
Eye and face protection through protective shield with regulation-compliant filter element against UV
radiation, heat and flying sparks.
♦
Wear regulation-compliant safety goggles with side protection behind the protective shield.
♦
Wear sturdy footwear that also insulates when wet.
♦
Protect hands with suitable gloves (electrically insulating, heat protection).
♦
Exposed areas of skin must be protected against the UV radiation while welding, in order to prevent skin
damage.
♦
Wear suitable dry protective clothing. Synthetic clothing is not suitable.
♦
Never look into the arc without eye protection; always use a welding mask with certified protective
glass.
♦
In addition to light and thermal radiation, which can cause dazzling or burning, the electric arc also emits
UV radiation. With insufficient protection this invisible UV radiation causes very painful conjunctivitis,
which can first be noticed hours later, and can also cause permanent eye damage. The PUK eye
protection systems with the integrated LCD sight protection filter also provide reliable protection against
these risks and sufficient protection against UV/IR radiation in the light and dark shade.
♦
The protective class of the filter is selected such that sufficient protection is provided against dazzling
by the arc.
