10 Additional Safety Instructions for
Protection from radiation and burns
a) Provide information about the risk to eyes at
the working site in the form of a poster with the
wording “Caution – do not look at the flames”.
Workplaces are to be screened off wherever
possible so that personnel in the vicinity are
protected. Unauthorized persons are to be kept
away from the welding work.
b) The walls in the immediate vicinity of
stationary workplaces should not have a light
color or a sheen. Windows up to head height are
to be protected against radiation passing
through them or reflecting off them, for example
by coating them with a suitable paint.
Do not store or use the equipment in wet
conditions or in the rain. Use the equipment only
indoors.
11. Using an Extension Cable
.
a) If an extension cable is required, use an
approved triple core extension cable suitable for
the power input of the tool.
b) Grounded tools always require a three wire
extension cable.
c) As the distance from the supply outlet increases
you must use a heavier gauge extension cable.
Using extension cables with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in
loss of power and possible tool damage.
d) The smaller the gauge number of the wire the
greater the capacity of the cord.
e) When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.
