13.6.
Maintenance of the equipment.
The equipment should be routinely maintained according to these instructions. All access and service
covers should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equipment is in operation. The welding equipment should not be
modified in any way except for those changes and adjustments covered in these instructions. In particular, the spark gaps of any arc
striking and stabilising devices should be adjusted and maintained according to the instructions.
13.7.
Cables.
The welding/cutting cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at or close
to the floor level.
13.8.
Equipotential bonding.
Bonding of all metallic components in the welding/cutting installation and adjacent to it should be considered.
However, metallic components bonded to the workpiece will increase the risk that the operator could receive a shock by touching these
metallic components and the electrode at the same time. The operator should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.
13.9.
Earthing of the workpiece.
Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, nor connected to earth because of its size
and position, e.g. ship’s hull or building steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce emissions in some, but not
all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece increasing the risk of injury to others or damage to other
electrical equipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the
workpiece, but in some countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by a suitable capacitance,
selected according to national regulations.
13.10.
selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference.
screening of the entire welding/cutting installation may be considered for special applications.
