Safety Hazards During Arc Welding - Parkside PFDS 33 B2 Instructions De Montage

Safety instructions
long time. Therefore do not touch
the work piece with bare hands.
Arc welding releases noxious
fumes. Be careful not to inhale
these as best possible.
Protect yourself from the danger-
ous effects of the arc and keep
persons not involved in the work
at least 2 m away from the arc.
ATTENTION!
Depending on mains conditions
at the connection point, operat-
ing the welding equipment may
interfere with the voltage supply
for other loads. When in doubt,
please contact your power sup-
ply company.
Operating the welding equipment
may interfere with the functional-
ity of other devices, e.g. hearing
aids, pacemakers, etc.
Safety hazards
during arc welding
Arc welding produces a variety of
safety hazards. It is therefore par-
ticularly important for the welder to
observe the following rules to avoid
putting himself and others in danger
and to prevent damage to persons
and the equipment
32 GB/IE
Only have work to the mains
voltage end, e.g. to cables, plugs,
outlets, etc. performed by a elec-
trically skilled person in accord-
ance with national and local
regulations.
In the event of an accident, im-
mediately disconnect the welding
equipment from the mains voltage.
If electrical contact voltage occurs,
immediately switch the equipment
off and have it inspected by an
electrically skilled person.
Always ensure good electrical
contacts on the welding current
end.
Always wear insulating gloves on
both hands whilst welding. These
will protect from electric shock
(no-load voltage of the welding
current), from hazardous rays
(heat and UV rays) and glowing
metal and weld splashes.
Wear solid, insulating shoes. The
shoes should also insulate when
exposed to moisture. Low shoes
are not suitable, as glowing metal
drops falling could cause burns.
Wear suitable protective clothing,
no synthetic garments.
Do not look into the arc with
unprotected eyes, only use a
welding shield with approved
protective glass per DIN. In
