Resistance Welder MULTISPOT MI-100-3
Health and safety
11
Hot surfaces
CAUTION ! Hot surfaces pose a risk of burns.
Electrodes may heat up to 80 degrees centigrade approx. Stock may have up to 100 degrees
right after welding. So there is an acute risk of burning yourself. Therefore:
−
Never work without proper safety clothes and gloves near hot components.
−
Let freshly welded parts cool down to ambient temperature before you go on to work with
them.
Scald hazard
DANGER! Scalding may occur due to hot water coming out!
While pulling out the cooling water hoses hot water may come out. Therefore:
–
Wear gloves.
–
Pull out water hoses carefully.
Slip hazard
DANGER! Slip hazard due to water coming out!
While pulling out the cooling water hoses water may come out. Therefore:
–
Remove water from the floor.
2.3.2
Dangers due to the work environment
Vapours
WARNING ! Vapours may constitute a danger to your health.
Stock that has not been properly ground and cleaned before welding may be contaminated with
residues of glues, paints, undercoating products etc. that may generate harmful or even toxic
vapours during welding. Therefore:
−
Before you tackle any welding jobs, make sure the sheets you want to weld have been
properly ground and cleaned and are free of residues.
−
Be sure to be wearing a face screen. Respiratory equipment may be recommendable in
case of doubt.
Stumbling hazards
WARNING ! Possibility of injuries due to stumbling and falling.
The work environment may pose stumbling risks. Stumbling and falling may lead to severe
injuries. Therefore:
−
Before you tackle any welding jobs, make sure the work area is tidy and free of clutter and
offers enough freedom to move.
−
Install cables and supply lines in such a way that they do not constitute a stumbling trap.
−
When welding, assume a safe and stable working position.
2.3.3
Dangers to this equipment and other property
Tipping and toppling hazards due to high centre of gravity and obstacles during travel
CAUTION ! Tipping and toppling may cause damage to property.
This equipment's centre of gravity is relatively high. In the event the wheels jam and/or block (due
to an obstacle or transverse pull, for instance), there is a danger the equipment tips over.
Therefore:
−
Move this equipment always using the handles.
−
Keep potential obstacles out of the work area.
−
Install cables and supply lines in such a way that they do not constitute a stumbling trap.
