WARNING
Risk of injury due to radiation or heat!
Arc radiation can lead to skin and eye injuries.
Contact with hot workpieces and sparks can lead to burns.
• Use hand shield or welding helmet with the appropriate safety level (depends on the appli-
cation).
• Wear dry protective clothing (e.g. hand shield, gloves, etc.) in accordance with
the applicable regulations of your country.
• Persons who are not directly involved should be protected with a welding curtain or suitable
safety screen against radiation and the risk of blinding!
Explosion risk!
Apparently harmless substances in closed containers may generate excessive pressure
when heated.
• Move containers with inflammable or explosive liquids away from the working area!
• Never heat explosive liquids, dusts or gases by welding or cutting!
Fire hazard!
Due to the high temperatures, sparks, glowing parts and hot slag that occur during
welding, there is a risk of flames.
• Be watchful of potential sources of fire in the working area!
• Do not carry any easily inflammable objects, e.g. matches or lighters.
• Ensure suitable fire extinguishers are available in the working area!
• Thoroughly remove any residue of flammable materials from the workpiece prior to starting
to weld.
• Only further process workpieces after they have cooled down. Do not allow them to contact
any flammable materials!
