1.7 OTHER HAZARDS
Arc welding and allied processes carrying other
hazards not listed before.
1.7.1 Burns
• Never touch hot parts with bare hands.
• Before handling an element, wait until it
cools down.
• Use appropriate tools to grip and handle hot
elements and wear special welding gloves
and clothing that protects against burns.
1.7.2 Plasma arc is dangerous
Highly concentrated plasma arc poses a ha-
zard for health and life. It is forbidden to aim
plasma arc at people.
1.7.3 Welding wire can cause injuries
Accidental pressing of the button on the wel-
ding torch can cause welding wire to advance
in an uncontrolled manner. The welding wire
tip may be sharp.
Never aim the burner tip of the welding torch
at your face, eyes or other people.
1.7.4 Moving elements can be dangerous
All protective elements and device housing
should be in place and in good technical con-
dition. Keep your hands, hair, clothes and tools
away from gear wheels, fans and other moving
parts during their operation.
Do not bring your hands close to fan motors.
It is forbidden to stop a fan by pressing its axis.
1.7.5 HF – high frequency ignition may
cause interference
As welding by the TIG method or plasma cut-
ting involves high frequency ignition, it can
interfere with mobile phones, radio equipment,
TV equipment or improperly protected compu-
ters and industrial robots, which leads to total
disabling of such devices.
1.8 OTHER INFORMATIONS
When performing welding work, you must
apply equally to the health and safety requi-
