-The welder must be dressed and protected according to the constraints of his works impose to him.
-Operator must insulate himself from the work-pieces and the ground. Make sure that no metal piece,
especially those connected to the network, comes in electrical contact to the operator.
-The welder must always wear an individual insulating protection.
Protective equipments: gloves, aprons, safety shoes that offer the additional advantage to protect
the operator against burns caused by hot pieces, spatters, etc. Check the good state of this equipment and
replace them before you are not protected any more.
- It is absolutely necessary to protect eyes against arc rays.
- Protect hair and face against sparks. The welding shield, with or without headset, must be always equipped
with a proper filter according to the arc welding current. In order to protect shaded filter from impacts and
sparks, it is recommended to add a glass in front of the shield.
The helmet supplied with the equipment is provided with a protective filter. When you want to
replace it, you must precise the reference and number of opacity degree of the filter. Use the shade of lens as
recommended in the following table (opacity graduation).
Protect others in the work area from arc rays by using protective booths, UV protective goggles, and
if necessary, a welding shield with appropriate protective filter on (NF S 77-104 – by A 1.5).

Depending on the conditions of use, the next highest or lowest category number may be used.
The expression “heavy metals” covers steels, alloyed steels, copper and its alloys.
The shaded areas represent applications where the welding processes are not normally used at present.
.
NOTE: Use a higher degree of filters if welding is performed in premises, which are not well lighted.
1. 3.2 Risk of internal injuries
Gases and fumes
- Gases and fumes produced during the welding process can be dangerous and hazardous to your health.
Arc welding works must be carried out in suitable ventilated areas.
