• Before repairing the machine, remove all power connections and/or connector
plugs or turn off the machine.
• Be careful when using a long mains cable.
• Make sure all connections are tight, clean, and dry.
• Keep cables dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks.
• Bare wiring can kill. Check all cables frequently for possible damage. If a damaged
or an uninsulated cable is detected, repair or replace it immediately.
• Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent contact with any
metal object.
• Make sure that the grounding of the power line is properly connected.
• Do not use AC weld output in damp, wet, or confined spaces, or if there is a danger
of falling.
• Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process.
• If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on unit.
Additional safety precautions are required when any of the following electrically
hazardous conditions are present :
• in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing,
• on metal structures such as floors, gratings, or scaffolds,
• when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling, or lying,
• when there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or
ground.
For these conditions, use the following equipment in order presented:
• Semiautomatic DC constant voltage (CV) MIG welding machine,
• DC manual MMA welding machine,
• DC or AC welding machine with reduced open-circuit voltage (VRD), if available.
• Turn off the electric power.
• Use non-conducting material, such as dry wood, to free the victim from contact with
live parts or wires.
• Call for emergency services.
If you have first aid training;
• If the victim is not breathing, Administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
immediately after breaking contact with the electrical source. Continue CPR
(cardiac massage) until breathing starts or until help arrives.
• Where an automatic electronic defibrillator (AED) is available, use according to ins
tructions.
• Treat an electrical burn as a thermal burn by applying sterile, cold (iced)
compresses. Prevent contamination, and cover with a clean, dry dressing.
Procedures for
Electric Shock
Long-term inhalation of fumes and gases released from welding and cutting is
very dangerous.
• Keep away from the moving parts.
• Keep all protective devices such as covers, panels, flaps, etc., of machinery and
equipment closed and in locked position.
• Wear metal toe shoes against the possibility of heavy objects falling on to your feet.
• Burning sensations and irritations in the eyes, nose and throat are signs of
inadequate ventilation. In such a case, immediately boost the ventilation of the work
area, and if the problem persists, stop the welding process completely.
• Create a natural or artificial ventilation system in the work area.
• Use a suitable fume extraction system where welding and cutting works are being
carried out. If necessary, install a system that can expel fumes and gases
accumulated in the entire workshop. Use a suitable filtration system to avoid
polluting the environment during discharge.
• If you are working in narrow and confined spaces or if you are welding lead,
beryllium, cadmium, zinc, coated or painted materials, use masks that provide fresh
air in addition to the above precautions.
• If the gas tanks are grouped in a separate zone, ensure that they are well ventilated,
keep the main valves closed when gas cylinders are not in use, pay attention to
possible gas leaks.
