2.3 Personal Protection
The face and the eyes must be protected by a
welder´s shield with lenses - protection category
corresponding to the intensity of current.
Persons working close by must also be adequately
protected from arc radiation.
To protect your hearing against noise,
wear ear-protectors!
Protect your hands and feet by wearing stout
footwear and appropriate gloves.
2.4 Welding fumes and gases
The air inhaled by the welder must be kept free from harmful
substances caused during cutting process. The ventilation required
depends on the size of the enclosed working area, the type of
material used and the duration of the cutting process. In some
cases, ventilation (e.g. fan) may be sufficient, but usually an
extraction system is necessary where harmful substances are
produced.
2.5 Danger from shielding-gas cylinder
Shielding-gas cylinders contain pressurized gas and may explode if
they are damaged. As shielding-gas cylinders are an integral part of
the overall cutting outfit, they also have to be treated with great care.
Protect shielding-gas cylinders containing compressed gas from
excessive heat, mechanical impact, slag, naked flames, sparks and
arcs.
Mount the shielding-gas cylinders in the vertical and fasten them in
such away that they cannot fall over (i.e. as shown in the instruction
manual).
Keep shielding-gas cylinders well away from cutting circuits (and,
indeed, from any other electrical circuits).
Never hang a cutting torch on a shielding-gas cylinder.
