„
Always wear a welding mask
while welding. If it is not
used, you could sustain severe
lesions to the retina.
„
Always wear protective clothing
during welding operations.
„
Never use the welding mask
without the welding lens.
There is a risk of damage to
the eyes!
„
Regularly replace the welding
lens to ensure good visibility
and fatigue-proof work.
z
Environment with
increased electrical
hazard
When welding in environments
with increased electrical hazard,
the following safety instructions
must be observed.
Environments with increased
electrical hazard may be encoun-
tered, for example:
„
In workplaces where the
space for movement is
restricted, such that the welder
is working in a forced posture
(e.g.: kneeling, sitting, lying)
and is touching electrically
conductive parts;
„
In workplaces which are
restricted completely or in
part in terms of electrical
conductivity and where there is
a high risk through avoidable
or accidental touching by the
welder;
„
In wet, humid or hot work-
places where the air humidity
or weld significantly reduces
the resistance of human skin
and the insulating properties
or effect of protective equip-
ment.
Even a metal conductor or
scaffolding can create an
environment with increased
electrical hazard.
In this type of environment,
insulated mats and pads must be
used. Furthermore gauntlet gloves
and head protection made of
leather or other insulating mate-
rials must be worn to insulate
the body against ground. The
welding power source must be
located outside the working area
or electrically conductive surfaces
and out of the welder’s reach.
Additional protection against a
shock from the mains power in
the event a fault can be provided
