2.5 General safety instructions
Please note the following:
- Welding Welding machines may only be operated by
persons who have been instructed in the use of welding
equipment and are familiar with safety regulations.
- When welding, always wear protective clothing and
take care that other persons are not endangered by the
UV radiation of the arc.
- Avoid direct contact with the welding circuit; the open
circuit voltage provided by the welder is dangerous un-
der certain circumstances.
- The welding cables, tests and repairs may only be
connected when the welding machine is switched off and
disconnected from the mains.
- Before replacing consumable parts of the torch, the
welder must be switched off and disconnected from the
mains.
- The electrical installation must be carried out in accor-
dance with the relevant regulations and accident pre-
vention regulations.
- The welding machine may only be connected to a po-
wer supply system with a grounded neutral conductor.
- Make sure that the power socket is correctly connected
to the protective earth.
- The welder must not be used in humid or wet conditions
or in rain.
- Do not use cables with worn insulation or loose connec-
tions.
- Clean the materials that contain solvents or other sub-
stances that may give rise to toxic gases.
- If a liquid cooling unit is available, it may only be filled
with the welding machine disconnected and dis-
connected from the mains.
- Do not weld on containers, vessels or piping containing
or containing flammable liquids or gases.
- Never weld to containers that are under pressure.
- Remove all flammable substances (eg wood, paper, fa-
bric etc.)
- Provide sufficient air exchange or suitable means to re-
move the fumes released when welding close to the
arc. It is necessary to systematically investigate which
limit values apply to the particular composition, concen-
tration and duration of action of the welding waste ga-
ses.
- The gas cylinder must be protected from heat sources,
including sunlight.
- Provide functional electrical insulation of the electrode,
workpiece, and nearby (accessible) grounded metal
parts. Normally, it is sufficient to wear appropriate gloves,
footwear, headgear and clothing, and to use running
boards and insulating carpets.
- To protect against sparks, heat, visible and invisible ra-
diation, suitable eye protection must be worn (protec-
tive shield or protective cover with standardized radia-
tion glasses of steps 10 to 15 according to DIN 4647,
depending on the welding current).
- Do not wear contact lenses, the strong heat that the
bow gives off, they can merge with the cornea.
- Use functional fire retardant protective clothing and
avoid exposing the skin to UV and infrared radiation
from the arc; Shooters must also use umbrellas or non-
reflective curtains for third parties that are near the arc.
- Noise generation: If a daily level of 85 db (A) or higher
(LEPd) is applied to the person during particularly in-
tensive welding work, functional individual protective
equipment must be used.
- As the welding current transitions, electromagnetic
fields (EMF) are generated near the welding circuit.
The electromagnetic fields may affect medical aids (eg
pacemakers, respiratory aids or metal prostheses).
Appropriate protective measures must be taken for the
providers of such assistance, for example by denying
them access to the operating range of the welding
equipment.
- This welding machine meets the technical product stan-
dards for the exclusive use in the commercial sector
and for professional purposes. Compliance with the ba-
sic limit values that apply to the effects of electroma-
gnetic fields on people in the home environment is not
ensured.
The operator must take the following precautions to re-
duce the impact of electromechanical fields:
- The two welding cables are to be fixed as close to each
other as possible.
- The head and the hull should be kept as far away as
possible from the welding circuit.
- The welding cables must under no circumstances be
wrapped around the body.
- During welding, the body must not be in the middle of
the welding circuit. Hold both cables on the same side
of the body.
- Connect the power return cable to the workpiece as
close to the weld as possible.
- Never close close to the welding machine, sitting on the
welding machine or welding to the welding machine
(minimum distance: 50 cm).
- Do not leave any ferromagnetic objects near the wel-
ding circuit. - Minimum distance d = 25cm.
- Use the guards and secure them securely. Never work
without protections and get them working.
- Always keep the welder and your work environment
clean. Ensure adequate lighting.
- In principle, secure your workpiece when working with
suitable clamping devices. Make sure there is sufficient
contact surface.
- The welder must not be modified in design nor used for
purposes other than those foreseen by the manufactu-
rer.
- Never work under the influence of concentration-distur-
bing illnesses, fatigue, drugs, alcohol or medicines.
- Keep children and persons unfamiliar with the welder
away from their work environment.
- Do not pull on the mains lead to pull the plug out of the
socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
- Protect the welding machine against moisture (danger
of short circuit)
- Before each use of the welding machine, make sure
that no parts are damaged. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately to avoid any danger.
- Do not overload the welding machine! You work better
and safer in the specified performance range.
- Only use original spare parts and accessories to avoid
possible dangers and accident risks.
