Prevention of Electric Shock Injuries
A person contacting with live electrical components or machine can
produce an electric shock, which will cause serious injury to the
human body or death. Do not use welding/cutting machines in
humid environment where movement is limited or there is a risk of
falling.
1
Ensure reliable grounding of the machine to prevent electric shock accident
caused by electric leakage.
2
Make sure that the work piece connected to the ground clamp of the machine
is reliably grounded.
3
Connect the ground clamp with the work piece reliably, or it might cause
electric shock accident.
4
Check the wires and cables frequently, and replace it in time if the insulation
layer is damaged.
5
Keep everything dry when welding/cutting, including clothing, working area,
cables, flashlights, electrode stand and power supply.
6
Make sure that every part of your body will not contact with the live electrical
parts.
7
Never stand directly on metal or the ground when have to work in a narrow or
humid environment. Please stand on dry wood or insulating platform,
wearing shoes with insulated rubber sole.
8
Please wear dry gloves without holes when turn on the machine power.
9
Please turn off the machine before taking off the gloves.
10
It is forbidden to replace the ground cable of the machine with other wires
and cables.
11
There is high voltage inside the machine. Non-professionals are strictly
forbidden to open the casing or start the machine for maintenance.
Protective Measures for Electromagnetic Fields
When an electric current flows through a conductor, it generates an
electromagnetic field, which can be harmful to the human body.
1
Welders with cardiac pacemakers shall consult a doctor if they are suitable
for welding and cutting operations.
