SAFETY RULES
GENERAL REMARKS
This welding machine has been made in accordance with the state of the art
and all recognised safety rules. Nevertheless, incorrect operation or misuse
may still lead to danger for
- the life and well-being of the welder or of third parties,
- the welding machine and other tangible assets belonging to the owner/
operator,
- efficient working with the welding machine.
All persons involved in any way with starting up, operating, servicing and
maintaining the welding machine must
- be suitably qualified
- know about welding and
- follow exactly the instructions given in this manual.
Any malfunctions which might impair machine safety must be eliminated
immediately.
It’s your safety that’s at stake!
UTILISATION FOR INTENDED PURPOSE ONLY
The welding machine may only be used for jobs as defined by the “Intended
purpose” (see the section headed "Starting to use the welding machine").
Utilisation in accordance with the “Intended purpose” also comprises
- following all the instructions given in this manual
- performing all stipulated inspection and servicing work
OBLIGATIONS OF OWNER/OPERATOR
The owner/operator undertakes to ensure that the only persons allowed to
work with the welding machine are persons who
- are familiar with the basic regulations on workplace safety and accident
prevention and who have been instructed in how to operate the welding
machine
- have read and understood the sections on safety and the warnings
contained in this manual, and have confirmed as much with their signatures
Regular checks must be performed to ensure that personnel are still working
in a safety-conscious manner.
OBLIGATIONS OF PERSONNEL
Before starting work, all persons entrusted with carrying out work on the
welding machine shall undertake
- to observe the basic regulations on workplace safety and accident
prevention
- to read the sections on safety and the warnings contained in this manual,
and to sign to confirm that they have understood these
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
For your personal safety, take the following precautions:
- Wear stout footwear that will also insulate even in wet conditions
- Protect your hands by wearing insulating gloves
- Protect your eyes from UV rays with a safety shield containing regulation
filter glass
- Only use suitable (i.e. flame-retardant) clothing
- Where high noise levels are encountered, use ear-protectors
Where other persons are nearby during welding, you must
- instruct them regarding the dangers,
- provide them with protective equipment and/or
- erect protective partitions or curtains.
HAZARDS FROM NOXIOUS GASES AND VAPOURS
- Extract all fumes and gases away from the workplace, using suitable
means.
- Ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air.
- Keep all solvent vapours well away from the arc radiation.
HAZARDS FROM FLYING SPARKS
- Move all combustible objects well away from the welding location.
- Welding must NEVER be performed on containers that have had gases,
fuels, mineral oils etc. stored in them. Even small traces of these
substances left in the containers are a major explosion hazard.
- Special regulations apply to rooms at risk from fire and/or explosion.
Observe all relevant national and international regulations.
HAZARDS FROM MAINS AND WELDING CURRENT
- An electric shock can be fatal. Every electric shock is hazardous to life.
- Magnetic fields generated by high amperages may impair the functioning
of vital electronic devices (e.g. heart pacemakers). Users of such devices
should consult their doctors before going anywhere near the welding
workplace.
- All welding cables must be firmly attached, undamaged and properly
insulated. Replace any loose connections and scorched cables immedi-
ately.
- Have the mains and the appliance supply leads checked regularly by a
qualified electrician to ensure that the PE conductor is functioning correctly.
- Before opening up the welding machine, make absolutely sure that this is
"dead". Discharge any components that may store an electrical charge.
- If work needs to be performed on any live parts, there must be a second
person on hand to switch of the machine at the main switch in an
emergency.
PARTICULAR DANGER SPOTS
- Do not put your fingers anywhere near the rotating toothed wheels of the
wirefeed drive.
- Special regulations apply to rooms at risk from fire and/or explosion.
Observe all relevant national and international regulations.
- Welding machines for use in spaces with increased electrical danger (e.g.
boilers) must be identified by the “S” (for safety) mark.
- Welding-joins to which special safety requirements apply must only be
carried out by specially trained welders.
- When hoisting the power source by crane, always attach the chains or
ropes to the hoisting lugs at as close an angle to the vertical as possible.
Before hoisting, remove the gas cylinder and the wirefeed unit.
- When hoisting the wirefeed unit by crane, always use an insulating
suspension arrangement.
INFORMAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- The instruction manual must be kept at the welding-machine location at all
times.
- In addition to the instruction manual, copies of both the generally applicable
and the local accident prevention and environmental protection rules must
be kept on hand, and of course observed in practice.
- All the safety instructions and danger warnings on the welding machine
itself must be kept in a legible condition.
