•
When installing the machine, follow the local regulations on safety.
•
The position of the machine must allow easy access by the operator to the
controls and connectors.
•
When the welding machine is operating, all its covers and doors must be
closed and well fixed.
•
Do not expose the welding machine to direct sunlight or to heavy rain. This
equipment conforms to protection rating IP23S.
•
During welding, the welding cables must be located near or at ground level.
They should be as short as possible.
•
The operator must wear gloves, clothes, shoes, and a helmet or a welder’s
helmet, which protect and are fire-resistant in order to protect him against
electric shock, flashes and sparks from welding.
•
The operator must protect his eyes with safety visor or mask designed for
welding, fitted with standard safety filters. He should also be aware that
during electrical welding ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION is emitted. Therefore
it is vital that his face is also protected from radiation. Ultraviolet rays
produce the same harmful effect as sun burning on unprotected skin.
•
The operator is obliged to warn anyone near the welding area of the risks
that welding involves and to arrange to provide adequate protection
equipment.
•
It is very important to arrange for sufficient ventilation, especially when
welding in enclosed spaces. We suggest using suitable fume extractors to
prevent the risk of intoxication by fumes or gas generated by the welding
process.
•
The operator must ensure all flammable materials are removed from the
work area to avoid any risk of fire.
•
The operator must NEVER weld containers that have previously contained
petrol, lubricants, gas or similar flammable materials, even if the container
has been empty for a considerable time. THERE IS A VERY HIGH RISK
OF EXPLOSION.
•
The operator must be aware of all the special regulations which he needs
to conform to when welding in enclosed spaces with a high risk of
explosion.
•
To prevent electric shock, we strongly suggest the following rules:
•
Do not work in a damp or humid environment.
•
Do not use the welding machine if its cables are damaged in any way.
•
Make sure that the earthing system of the electric equipment is correctly
connected and operational.
•
The operator must be insulated from the metal components connected to
the return wire.
•
The earthing of the piece being worked could increase the risk of injury to
the operator.
