Safety Precautions
• Performing works such as welding / cutting, surface grinding, and brushing cause sparks and
metal particles to splatter. Wear approved protective work goggles which have edge guards
under the welding masks to prevent sustaining possible injuries.
Sparks and Spattering
Particles May Get
Into Eyes and Cause
Damage
• Do not touch the hot parts with bare hands.
• Wait until the time required for the machine to cool down before working on its parts.
• If you need to hold hot parts, use suitable tools, welding / cutting gloves with high-level thermal
insulation and fire-resistant clothes.
Hot Parts May Cause
Severe Burns
• Use a standard protective mask and a suitable glass filter to protect your eyes and face.
• Protect other naked parts of your body (arms, neck, ears, etc.) with suitable protective clothing
from these rays.
• Enclose your work area with flame-resistant folding screens and hang warning signs at eye level
so that people around you will not sustain injuries from arc rays and hot metals.
• This machine is not used for heating of icebound pipes. This operation performed with the
welding / cutting machine causes explosion, fire or damage to your installation.
Arc Light May Damage
Your Eyes and Skin
• The noise generated by some equipment and operations may damage your hearing ability.
• Wear approved personal ear protective equipment if the noise level is high.
Noise May Cause
Damage To Your
Hearing Ability
• Do not apply welding / cutting operations into completely closed tanks or pipes.
• Before welding to tanks and closed containers, open them, completely empty them, and clean
them. Pay the greatest attention possible to the welding / cutting operations you will perform in
such places.
• Do not weld in tanks and pipes which might have previously contained substances that may
cause explosions, fires or other reactions.
• Welding / cutting equipment heats up. For this reason, do not place it on surfaces that could
easily burn or be damaged !
• Do not point the torch towards any part of the body, other persons, or any metal while
unwrapping the welding / cutting wire.
• When welding wire is run manually from the roller especially in thin diameters the wire can slip
out of your hand, like a spring or can cause damage to you or other people around, therefore you
must protect your eyes and face while working on this.
Welding Wires Can
Cause Injuries

Welding Operations
May Cause Fire and
Explosion
• Sparks and splashing parts may cause a fire. For this reason, keep materials such as fire
extinguishers tubes, water, and sand in easily accessible places.
• Use holding valves, gas regulators and valves on flammable, explosive and compressed gas
circuits. Make sure that they are periodically inspected and pay attention that they run reliably.
• Electrical equipment should not be repaired by unauthorized persons.
Errors occurred if failed to do so may result in serious injury or death when using the
equipment.
• The gas circuit elements operate under pressure; explosions may occur as a result of services
provided by unauthorized persons, users may sustain serious injuries.
