WARNING
BOOSTARES
can burn the eyes and skin;
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense heat
and powerful ultraviolet rays that can burn the eyes and
skin. Noise from some processes can damage hearing.
1. Wear a welding helmet with the appropriate shade
to protect your face and eyes during welding or
viewing.
2. Wear approved safety goggles. Safety goggles
are recommended.
3. Use protective shields or barriers
to protect others from flashing and glare; warn
others not to look into the arc. Glare; warn others
not to look into the arc.
4. Wear protective clothing made of durable, flame-
retardant material (wool and leather) and foot
protection.
5. Use approved earplugs or ear defenders
when the noise level is high.
6. Never wear contact lenses during welding.
WARNING
FUMES AND GASES
can damage your health.
Fumes and gases are released during welding. Inhaling
these fumes and gases can damage your health.
1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not inhale the
fumes.
2. If you are working inside, ventilate the room well
and/or use an extraction fan at the arc to remove
the welding fumes and gases.
3. In case of poor ventilation, use an approved
respirator with air supply.
4. Read the safety data sheets and the manufacturer’s
instructions for metals, consumables, coatings and
cleaning products.
5. Only work in an enclosed area if it is well ventilated
or when using a respirator with air supply. The
shielding gases used in welding can displace the air
and cause injury or death. Make sure the air is safe
to breathe.
6. Do not weld in areas where degreasing, cleaning or
spraying operations are taking place. The heat and
radiation from the arc may react with vapours to
form highly toxic and irritating gases.
7. Do not weld on coated metals such as galvanised
steel or steel coated with lead or cadmium unless
the coating has been removed from the welding
area, the area is well ventilated and, if necessary,
you are wearing a respirator with air supply. The
coatings and all metals containing these elements
may emit toxic fumes during welding.
WARNING
Welding can lead to FIRE or
EXPLOSIONS.
Sparks and spatters flying from the
welding arc.
The flying sparks and hot pieces of metal, the welding
spatters, the hot workpiece and the hot equipment can
cause fire and burns. Accidental contact of the electrode
or welding wire with metal objects can cause sparks
overheating or fire.
1. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and
sparks and pieces of hot metal.
2. Do not weld in places where flying sparks can strike
flammable materials.
3. Remove all flammable materials within a radius of
radius of approx. 11 m from the welding arc, if this
is not possible, cover them. If this is not possible,
you should cover them properly with approved
approved covers.
4. Take care that sparks and hot materials from welding
can easily pass through small cracks and openings
to adjacent areas.
5. Beware of fire and keep a fire extinguisher vicinity.
6. Be aware that welding against a ceiling, on a floor,
bulkhead or partition can cause a fire on the hidden
side.
7. Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks or
drums.
8. Connect the cable to the workpiece as close to the
welding area as practical keep the path of the
welding current as short as possible and prevent
possible unknown trajectories and the causing
electric shock and fire.
9. Do not use a welding machine for thawing frozen
pipes to defrost frozen pipes.
10. Remove the rod electrode from the holder or cut the
welding wire the welding rod at the contact cutting
sleeve when the the device is not in use.
WARNING
FLASHING FROSTS AND SHARTS
OF HOT METAL may cause
injury.
During machining and grinding, flying pieces of metal
are released. Cooling welds can throw off slag.
1. Wear approved welding shields or safety goggles
side shields are recommended.
2. Wear proper body protection to protect the skin.
