ARC RAYS CAN BURN:
It is not allowed to directly observe the welding
arc with uncovered eyes.
Arc and splinters may cause skin burns or flames, so always wear a
protective mask fitted with a darkened filter (glasses should be equipped with
glass filter grade DIN 9 10)
Any unauthorized persons near your site should protect your eyes with
special protective goggles or with non-flammable, radiation-absorbing
screens.
VAPOUR AND GASES MAY BE DANGEROUS:
The resulting smoke and
harmful gases should be removed from the work area by means of specialized
equipment, do not cover the ventilation openings. Welding should be carried
out in well ventilated areas and welding vapors are harmful to health -
especially when welding materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, zinc,
beryllium, galvanized or stainless steel. Ensure sufficient fresh air flow in the
room. Do not allow solvent vapors to enter the welding arc area.
ELECTROMAGNETIC POLE MAY BE DANGEROUS:
By inducing a high voltage current, the electromagnetic field flowing through
the welding wires may have a negative effect on the performance of electrical
devices such as the cardio-stimulator. Persons wearing such equipment
should consult a physician before entering the area where welding work is
performed. Welding hoses should be arranged in parallel, as close as possible
to each other.
ELECTRICAL SPARK MAY CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSIVES:
Flammable items should be removed from the workplace. Do not perform
welding work on containers that contain gases, fuels, oil products or other
flammable materials. There is a risk of explosion of residue of these products.
When performing welding work in potentially explosive or fire hazards,
special rules must be observed that comply with national and international
standards. Firefighting equipment such as: (powder or snow fire
extinguishers, fire blankets) should be located near the workstation in a
visible, readily accessible place.
BOTTLE CAN EXPLODE:
Use only approved bottles and properly
functioning regulators. The cylinder should be transported and positioned
vertically. Protect the cylinder from heat, overturning and mechanical
damage.
WELDED MATERIALS MAY BURN:
In no case should you touch the
welded parts with bare hands. Always wear protective gloves when operating
the machine. The arc and splinters that develop during the burn can cause
skin burns. Wear protective gloves and pliers when touching or moving the
welded item.
ELECTRIC POWER SOURCES:
It is forbidden to work with damaged
welding wires or on wet substrates. Welding cables should be strong,
undamaged and insulated. Weakened connections and damaged cable must
be replaced immediately. Do not carry the device by pulling it by the power
cord or wires. Do not perform any maintenance work on the unit.
Removing the outside cover of the device while it is connected to the
network and using the device with the lid removed is forbidden.
