original spare parts, otherwise, the user could face a risk of
injury.
Appliance-specific safety instructions
Protection against burns:
Sparks, slag, hot metal and radiation may
represent a risk to your eyes and skin when
arc welding. The closer the user or any
other person gets to the place of welding,
the higher the risk the user or any other
person faces. Adequate protective clothing
and protective equipment must necessarily
be worn by both the user and all other
persons working near the place of welding.
Protective gloves (particularly designed for
welding) and headgear are also necessary. Protective
glasses are absolutely necessary and must be worn to
make sure eyes of the user are protected against radiation,
flying sparks and hot metal.
Protection against fire:
As hot metal, sparks and slag are produced
when arc welding, preventive measures for
the protection against fire and/or explosion
must be taken. Appropriate extinguishers must be
available in the immediate vicinity of the place of welding.
All combustible materials must be removed from near the
welding place. Minimum distance is 10 metres (35 feet).
Never weld empty containers that included poison or
explosive materials. Such containers must be cleaned
thoroughly before welding.
Never weld if there are high concentrations of dust, highly
combustible gases and combustible vapours of liquids
(e.g. petrol) in the atmosphere/air. When welding, it is
necessary to make sure the welded parts are cooled down
before grasping them or coming into contact with
combustible materials.
Poison combustion products:
It is necessary to take appropriate
preventive measures so that the welder or
other persons around are not exposed to
poison combustion products that may be produced when
welding. Some chlorinated solvents decompose when
exposed to ultraviolet radiation and produce phosgene
gas. Treat these solvents carefully to prevent any contact
with the welded parts. Containers with these solvents
and/or other degreasers must be removed from near the
place of welding. When welding on painted metals
containing lead, cadmium, zinc, silver and beryllium,
harmful concentrations of poison combustion products may
be produced. Adequate exhaust fans must be available or
the user must wear special equipment providing fresh air
supply - a breathing apparatus or a helmet with air supply.
Do not weld metals painted with materials producing
poison combustion products, unless: The painting was
removed before welding. The place of welding is
adequately ventilated.
The welder is fitted with a breathing apparatus with fresh
air supply.
Radiation:
Ultraviolet radiation produced in welding may
be harmful to eyes and burn the skin.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to wear
protective clothing and a helmet. Contact lens must not be
worn as high temperatures may cause them to stick to the
cornea. The shield used in welding must be fitted with
safety glasses (at least DIN 10) that must be immediately
replaced when broken or damaged. The electric arc may
be harmful to eyes and is dangerous up to a distance of 15
metres (50 feet). Never look at the arc when your eyes are
not protected.
Electric shock:
Any electric shock may be fatal and therefore
you must never touch any conductive cable
and/or its part.
Wearing insulated gloves and clothing provides insulation
of the welded part and the ground. Pieces of clothing – e.g.
gloves, shoes, headgears and outwear - must always be
dry. Working in damp or wet conditions must be avoided.
Welded parts must not be touched, held in hand. As soon
as you feel even a very weak electric shock, welding must
be immediately interrupted. You must not continue in your
work until the cause of the problem is identified and the
problem is removed by qualified staff. Frequent inspection
of the main power cables for any damage and cracking of
the cable sheath and immediate replacement of the
damaged cables is very important. Connection between
the feeder cable and main cable must be interrupted
before replacing any cable and removing the appliance
cover. Never use the appliance without covers. All
damaged parts must always be replaced with original
spare parts only. Never change or connect for a short time
the circuit breaker. Make sure that the power supply is
fitted with a powerful grounded plug.
Make sure the welding table is grounded properly.
Any servicing may only be performed by qualified staff.
Please be sure to realise the high risk represented by
dangerous voltage produced when working with the
appliance.
Artificial pacemaker:
Persons using an electronic appliance for
supporting life (e.g. artificial pacemaker)
must consult their doctor before being
present near arc, cutting, burning or spot welders to make
sure magnetic fields in connection with high electric
currents cannot affect their devices.
