3.6. SIGNS
The safety signs must always be clearly visible and it
is absolutely forbidden to remove or hide them.
Generally there are signals or signs on the machine
or in the work environment that indicate dangerous
situations, prohibitions or instructions during use or
operations connected to it, as in the following exam-
ples:
Emission of optical radiation:
The risk of optical radiation exists
where the sign is affixed. Cat. 2 (EN 12198).
Fire hazard:
Fire hazards exist
where the sign is affixed.
General warning:
This symbol indicates a hazard of any
nature that may cause personal and
property damages.
3.3. CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE
The machine must not be used:
• For uses other than those specified by the man-
ufacturer, for different uses or not mentioned in
this manual;
• In explosive, corrosive atmospheres or with a high
concentration of dust or oily substances suspend-
ed in the air;
• In atmospheres with high fire risks;
• Exposed to adverse weather conditions;
• With safety devices bypassed or out of order;
• With electrical bridges and/or other means that
exclude power/parts of the machine.
3.4. HAZARDOUS AREAS
The work area pertaining to the operator which is
substantially the entire perimeter of the machine is
considered hazardous.
It is the responsibility of the operator to keep the
work area clear of persons or objects while using the
machine and to avoid damage to persons, things or
animals.
The use of the machine near other equipment or
machines introduces additional risks. The operator is
asked to evaluate these risks in order to prevent ac-
cidents.
3.5. SAFETY DEVICES
Welding machines are equipped with safety devices
designed to prevent damage to the operator or to the
welding machine itself. A safety device is any object
or system that can reduce the risk of such damage.
Do not tamper with active safety devices or their con-
nections.
Do not operate with the welding machine without
the metal covers or with non-insulated connections.
If necessary, during installation and connection, they
must be integrated with others in order to guarantee
compliance with the laws in force.
IMPORTANT: Daily check that the safety devices
are functioning properly and efficient.
