SAFETY MEASURES - **PLEASE READ!**
Welding is not particularly hazardous when certain safety practices are followed. Anyone using this equipment should be thoroughly
trained in safe welding practices. Failure to observe safe practices may cause serious injury. Handling welding torches presents no dan-
ger if the appropriate safety regulations are strictly adhered to. For example:
• Starting-up procedures must be reserved for those fully conversant with processes relating to arc welding equipment.
• Arc welding can prove damaging to eyes, skin, and hearing! It is therefore imperative that the Accident Prevention Regulations UVV 26.0 and VGB 15 are
fully observed and that all protective clothing, eye and ear protectors specified are worn.
• The load data given are maximum limit figures. Overloading will inevitably damage the torch!
• Before changing wear parts, disconnect for the power supply.
• The operating instructions for the individual welding components - e.g. power source, wire feed and cooling unit must be followed.
• Never pull the cable assembly across sharp edges or set down close to weld spatter or on a hot workpiece.
• Those not involved in the welding process should be protected by curtains or partitions from radiation and the danger of being dazzled.
• When handling gas cylinders, consult the instructions issued by the manufacturers and the suppliers of the pressurized gas.
• Workpieces which have been degreased using chlorinated solvents must be sprayed down with clean water before welding starts to avoid the risk of
phosgene forming. For the same reason, no degreasing baths containing chlorine must be placed close to the welding point.
• All vapors given off by metals can cause harm and a special warning is attached to lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, and beryllium. If necessary, take ap -
propriate precautions (by providing adequate ventilation or an extraction system) to ensure that the legal maximum levels of toxic concentrations are not
exceeded.
