Prevention of poisoning by vapors and gases emitted during welding from electrode coating and metal evaporation:
•
Use ventilation equipment and extractors installed in positions with limited air exchange,
•
Blow out with fresh air when working in a confined space (tanks),
•
Use masks and respirators.
Burn prevention:
•
Use appropriate protective clothing and footwear to protect against burns from arc radiation and spatters,
•
Avoid staining clothing with grease and oil that can ignite it.
Explosion and fire prevention:
•
It is forbidden to operate the device and weld in rooms where there is a risk of explosion or fire,
•
The welding station should be equipped with fire-fighting equipment,
•
The welding station should be at a safe distance from flammable materials.
Prevention of negative effects of noise:
•
Use ear plugs or other noise protection measures,
•
Warn of the danger of people nearby.
WARNING!
Do not use the power source for thawing frozen pipes.
Before starting the device:
•
Check the condition of electrical and mechanical connections. Holders and cables with damaged insulation must not be used. Inadequate
insulation of the grips and current leads can cause electric shock,
•
Ensure proper working conditions, i.e. ensure proper temperature, humidity and ventilation at the workplace. Protect against atmospheric
precipitation outside enclosed rooms,
•
Place the charger in a place that allows easy operation. Persons operating the welder should:
•
have the authorization to electric welding with coated electrodes and the TIG method,
•
know and comply with health and safety regulations applicable to welding works,
•
use appropriate, specialized protective equipment: gloves, apron, rubber boots, shield or welding helmet with a properly selected filter,
•
know the content of these operating instructions and use the welder for its intended purpose. All repairs to the device may only be
carried out after disconnecting the plug from the power socket.
When the device is connected to the network, it is forbidden to touch any part of the welding current circuit with bare hands or wet clothing.
It is forbidden to remove the outer covers when the device is connected to the network. Any modifications of the rectifier on your own are
prohibited and may constitute a deterioration of safety conditions.
All maintenance and repair works may only be carried out by authorized persons, observing the safety conditions in force for electrical equipment. It is
forbidden to operate the welder in rooms at risk of explosion or fire! The welding station should be equipped with fire extinguishing equipment. After
finishing work, disconnect the power cord from the device.
The threats and general health and safety rules presented above do not cover the welder's safety issues, as they do not take into account the specificity
of the workplace. An important addition to these are workplace health and safety instructions as well as training and instructions given by supervisors.
