3 SAFETY AND FIRE INSTRUCTION
Keep this device out from children. You have to follow the safety and fire instruction when
you work with welding device for welding in protective atmosphere. Regulations for preven-
ting of accidents during "welding, cutting and similar working activities".
3.1 Protection
A welder should wear a closed and dry working dress (non-flammable welding dress is the
best), firm insulating shoes (jackboots), cap and leather sleeve gloves.
- Clothing made from synthetic materials and half shoes are improper.
- Insulating gloves on the both hands protect against electricity (welding circuit no load run),
harmful radiation (heat and U.V. radiation), and also against flaming metal and slag drops.
The effect of U.V. radiation on the uncovered body parts is similar as sunburn.
It is necessary to wear an appropriate eye protection against sparks, heat, visible and invi-
sible radiation (protective shield or protective helmet equipped with protective glass from the
10-th to 15-th grade according to DIN 4647 standard, depending on used current).
- Do not look into an electric arc with unprotected eyes (you can go blind or you can burn).
Invisible U.V. radiation causes a very painful eye conjunctiva inflammation without eyes
protection, which rises even after couple of hours.
- Weld nearby the other persons, which are able to help you fast in a case of emergency. .
- The persons or assistants present nearby an electric arc have to be advised about hazard
and must be equipped with a necessary protective equipment.
- A working places situated in the neighborhood have to be protected with proper shields
against radiation.
- It is necessary to ensure air supply and exhaustion in closed rooms and buldings. The toxic
vapors evaporate from metal coats and anticorrosive paints due to heat from the electric
arc during welding.
3.2 Removing the fire hazard
Follow this instructions before welding starts:
- Remove inflammable materials and objects in 5 meter ring from the welding place.
- The inflammable materials and objects which could not be removed must be protected by
covering with steel plates, wet rags etc...
- It is necessary to cover or tighten the holes, cracks in walls etc... due to uncontrollable
sparking.
- Prepare the fire extinguisher, bucket of water etc...
- Be conscious of possibility of hidden fire on covered objects or in another rooms due tu
heat transfer.
-
After finishing of welding check up the welding place for smoking parts or small fires in
the time interval up to 6 or 8 hours.
