3. HEALTH AND SAFETY
INFORMATION
3.1 General Arc-Welder Safety
Warnings
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury
.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
MMA manual metal arc welding systems using coated
electrodes with limited service are referred to herein as
“welding machines”.
- Make sure that the welding machine is installed and
repaired only by qualified persons or experts in
compliance with the law and with the accident
prevention regulations.
- Make sure that the operator is trained in the use and
risks connected to the arc-welding processes and in
the necessary measures of protection and
emergency procedures.
- Detailed information can be found in the “Installation
and use of arc-welding equipment” brochure: IEC or
CLC/TS 62081.
- Make sure that the power socket to which the
welding machine is connected is protected by
suitable safety devices (fuses or automatic switch)
and that it is grounded.
- Make sure that the plug and power cable are in good
condition.
- Before plugging into the power socket, make sure
that the welding machine is switched off.
- Switch the welding machine off and pull the plug out
of the power socket as soon as you have finished
working.
- Switch the welding machine off and pull the plug out
of the power socket before connecting the welding
cables, installing the continuous wire, replacing any
parts in the torch or wire feeder, carrying out
maintenance operations, or moving it (use the
carrying handle on the welding machine.)
- Do not touch any electrified parts with bare skin or
wet clothing. Insulate yourself from the electrode, the
piece to be welded and any grounded accessible
metal parts. Use gloves, footwear and clothing
designed for this purpose and dry, non-flammable
insulating mats.
- Use the welding machine in a dry, ventilated space.
Do not expose the welding machine to rain or direct
sunshine.
- Use the welding machine only if all panels and
guards are in place and mounted correctly.
- Do not use the welding machine if it has been
dropped or struck, as it may not be safe. Have it
checked by a qualified person or an expert.
- Eliminate any welding fumes through appropriate
natural ventilation or using a smoke exhauster. A
systematic approach must be used to assess the
limits of exposure to welding fumes, depending on
their composition, concentration and the length of
exposure.
- Do not weld materials that have been cleaned with
chloride solvents or that have been near such
substances.
- Use a welding mask with adiactinic glass suited for
welding. Replace the mask if damaged; it may let in
radiation.
- Wear fireproof gloves, footwear and clothing to
protect the skin from the rays produced by the
welding arc and from sparks. Do not wear greasy
garments as a spark could set fire to them. Use
protective screens to protect people nearby.
- Do not allow bare skin to come into contact with hot
metal parts, such as the torch, electrode holder
grippers, electrode stubs, or freshly welded pieces.
- Metal-working gives off sparks and splinters. Wear
safety goggles with protective side eye guards.
- Welding sparks can trigger fires.
- Do not weld or cut anywhere near inflammable
materials, gasses or vapours.
- Do not weld or cut containers, cylinders, tanks or
piping unless a qualified technician or expert has
checked that it is possible to do so, or has made the
appropriate preparations.
