LE SURCHAUFFEMENT peut endom-
mager le moteur électrique.

Arrêter ou déconnecter l’équipement avant de dé-
marrer ou d’arrêter le moteur.

Ne pas laisser tourner le moteur trop lentement sous
risque d’endommager le moteur électrique à cause
d’une tension et d’une fréquence trop faibles.

Ne pas brancher de moteur de 50 ou de 60 Hz à la prise de 100 Hz, s’il y a
lieu.

LES ÉTINCELLES VOLANTES ris-
quent de provoquer des blessures.

Porter un écran facial pour protéger le visage et les
yeux.

Affuterr l’électrode au tungstène uniquement à la meuleuse dotée de pro-
tecteurs. Cette manoeuvre est à exécuter dans un endroit sûr lorsque
l’on porte l’équipement homologué de protection du visage, des mains et
du corps.

Les étincelles risquent de causer un incendie − éloigner toute substance
inflammable.

L’EMPLOI EXCESSIF peut
SURCHAUFFER L’ÉQUIPEMENT.

Laisser l’équipement refroidir ; respecter le facteur de
marche nominal.

Réduire le courant ou le facteur de marche avant de
poursuivre le soudage.

Ne pas obstruer les passages d’air du poste.

LES CHARGES ÉLECTROSTATI-
QUES peuvent endommager les
circuits imprimés.

Établir la connexion avec la barrette de terre avant de
manipuler des cartes ou des pièces.

Utiliser des pochettes et des boîtes antistatiques
pour stocker, déplacer ou expédier des cartes de
circuits imprimes.

UNE REMORQUE QUI BASCULE peut
entraîner des blessures.

Utiliser les supports de la remorque ou des blocs
pour soutenir le poids.

Installer convenablement le poste sur la remorque
comme indiqué dans le manuel s’y rapportant.

LIRE LES INSTRUCTIONS.

Utiliser seulement les pièces de rechange d’origine.

Effectuer la maintenance du moteur et du compres-
seur (si applicable) suivant ce manuel et le manuel du
moteur/compresseur (si applicable).

LE RAYONNEMENT HAUTE FRÉ-
QUENCE (H.F.) risque de provoquer
des interférences.

Le rayonnement haute fréquence (H.F.) peut
provoquer des interférences avec les équipements
de radio−navigation et de communication, les
services de sécurité et les ordinateurs.

Demander seulement à des personnes qualifiées familiarisées avec des
équipements électroniques de faire fonctionner l’installation.

L’utilisateur est tenu de faire corriger rapidement par un électricien quali-
fié les interférences résultant de l’installation.

Si le FCC signale des interférences, arrêter immédiatement l’appareil.

Effectuer régulièrement le contrôle et l’entretien de l’installation.

Maintenir soigneusement fermés les portes et les panneaux des sources
de haute fréquence, maintenir les éclateurs à une distance correcte et
utiliser une terre et et un blindage pour réduire les interférences
éventuelles.

LE SOUDAGE À L’ARC risque de
provoquer des interférences.

L’énergie électromagnétique risque de provoquer
des interférences pour l’équipement électronique
sensible tel que les ordinateurs et l’équipement com-
mandé par ordinateur tel que les robots.

Veiller à ce que tout l’équipement de la zone de soudage soit compatible
électromagnétiquement.

Pour réduire la possibilité d’interférence, maintenir les câbles de souda-
ge aussi courts que possible, les grouper, et les poser aussi bas que pos-
sible (ex. par terre).

Veiller à souder à une distance de 100 mètres de tout équipement élec-
tronique sensible.

Veiller à ce que ce poste de soudage soit posé et mis à la terre conformé-
ment à  ce mode d’emploi.

En cas d’interférences après avoir pris les mesures précédentes, il in-
combe à l’utilisateur de prendre des mesures supplémentaires telles que
le déplacement du poste, l’utilisation de câbles blindés, l’utilisation de fil-
tres de ligne ou la pose de protecteurs dans la zone de travail.

Information sur les champs électromagnétiques

Données sur le soudage électrique et les effets des champs magnétiques
basse fréquence sur l’organisme
En parcourant les câbles de soudage, le courant crée des champs électro-
magnétiques. Les effets potentiels de tels champs restent préoccupants.
Cependant, après avoir examiné plus de 500 études qui ont été faites pen-
dant une période de recherche de 17 ans, un comité de spécialistes du
National Research Council a conclu : « L’accumulation de preuves n’a pas
démontré que l’exposition aux champs magnétiques et aux champs électri-
ques à haute fréquence constitue un risque pour la santé humaine ».
Toutefois, les études et l’examen des preuves se poursuivent. En attendant
les conclusions finales de la recherche, il serait souhaitable de réduire l’ex-
position aux champs électromagnétiques pendant le soudage ou le
coupage.

Afin de réduire les champs électromagnétiques en milieu de travail, respec-
ter les consignes suivantes :
1. Garder les câbles ensemble en les torsadant ou en les fixant avec du
ruban adhésif.
2. Mettre tous les câbles du côté opposé à l’opérateur.
3. Ne pas s’enrouler les câbles autour du corps.
4. Garder le poste de soudage et les câbles le plus loin possible de soi.
5. Placer la pince de masse le plus près possible de la zone de soudage.
Consignes relatives aux stimulateurs cardiaques :
Les personnes qui portent un stimulateur cardiaque doivent avant tout
consulter leur médecin. Si ce dernier les déclare aptes, il leur est recom-
mandé de respecter les consignes ci-dessus.
