Describes an imminent threatening danger. If not avoided, this
will result in fatal or extremely critical injuries.
Describes a potentially dangerous situation. If not avoided, this
may result in serious injuries.
Describes a potentially harmful situation. If not avoided, this
may result in slight or minor injuries.
Describes the risk of impairing work results or potential mate-
rial damage to the equipment.
ʸ
Keep the work area in order.
ʸ
Ensure good lighting of the work area.
Electro-technical:
ʸ
Do not expose electric tools to rain and avoid a moist or wet
environment.
ʸ
Do not use the electric tools in areas subject to fire or ex-
plosion hazards.
ʸ
Protect yourself from electric shock by using insulating mats
and wearing dry clothing.
ʸ
Check the electric tool for damage and for its perfect func-
tioning in accordance with its designated use.
Welding:
ʸ
Arc welding may cause damage to eyes, skin and hearing!
Please always wear the required safety clothing, eye and
ear protection in compliance with the relevant regulations
in the country in question.
ʸ
Any metal vapors, especially lead, cadmium, copper and
beryllium are harmful! Ensure sufficient ventilation or ext-
raction. Do not exceed the current MAC values.
ʸ
Rinse work-pieces that have been degreased with chlorina-
ted solvents with clear water. Otherwise there is a risk of
phosgene gas formation. For the same reason, no degrea-
sing baths containing chlorine must be placed in the vicini-
ty of the welding area.
ʸ
In connection with various welding torches, there may be
other hazards, for example those caused by: electrical
current (power supply, internal circuit), welding spatter with
regard to combustible or explosive materials, UV radiation
from the arc, smoke and vapors.
ʸ
Adhere to the general fire protection regulations and remo-
ve inflammable materials from the surroundings of the
welding work area, prior to starting work. Even hours after
finishing the welding work, there is a risk of late ignition
caused by sparks. Place appropriate fire extinguishing
equipment in the workplace within easy reach.
Technical State:
ʸ
Do not exceed the maximum limit values of the load data.
Overloading leads to torch destruction.
ʸ
Do not make any constructive changes to this device.
ʸ
During welding work outdoors, use suitable protection against
the effects of weather.
Protective clothing:
ʸ
Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry.
ʸ
Use a hair net for long hair.
ʸ
During operation of the welding torches and in connection
with the welding process, always wear safety goggles, pro-
tective gloves and, if required, a breathing mask.
