You are strongly urged to comply strictly with legal requirements concerning job safety
and accident prevention in the work place. The structural features and usage of the
welding equipment make it essential to pay particular attention to the following
recommendations:
5.1 AMBIENT CONDITIONS
Do not use the equipment in wet environments.
5.2 WORK PLACE
Make sure that the work place is inaccessible to
unauthorized persons.
5.3 OPE
RATOR’S PRESENCE DURING WELDING
Do not leave the equipment unattended during welding
operations.
5.4 CRAMPED SPACES
If it proves necessary to work in cramped spaces, it is
compulsory to have a person on hand outside to help the
operator in case of need.
5.5 BURNING HAZARD
The electric melting process involves the reaching of high
temperatures in the welding area. Do not touch the
coupling or joint during the welding and cooling phases.
5.6 ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Protect the equipment from rain and/or damp/trenches;
use only pipes and couplings that are perfectly dry.
