6. SAFETY MEASURES.

The use of this equipment requires a maximum amount of responsibility with respect to their use and maintenance.
Read this safety chapter carefully as well as the rest of the instructions manual. The correct use of the equipment will
depend on this.
 Make sure that the part to be welded makes perfect electrical contact with the equipment earth.
 During any maintenance operations or when dismantling any element from the inside of the machine, this must
be disconnected from the electricity supply.
Do not touch the equipment switches when carrying out a welding operation.
 Never lean directly on the work part. We will always work with protection gloves.
 Any work on the welding guns and earth clamps will be done with the equipment disconnected (OFF Position (O)
on the on/off switch). Do not touch the electrically active parts (electrode-holder clamp, earth clamp, etc.) with
your bare hand.

For your safety and that of others, remember that:
ANY PRECAUTION MAY BE INSUFFICIENT!
The welding equipment referred to in this manual are electrical. It is important therefore to
observe the following safety measures.
 Any work on the equipment must only be carried out by specialists.
 The equipment must be connected to the earth connection and this must always be
effective.
 The equipment must not be located in a damp place.
 Do not use the equipment if the welding or supply cables are damaged. Use original
spares.
The part to be worked on should be cleaned from possible grease or solvents as these may
decompose during the welding process giving off fumes which could be very toxic. This can
also occur with those materials which have some kind of surface coating (zinc-plated,
galvanised, etc.). Avoid inhaling the fumes given off in the process at all times. Protect yourself
from the fumes and metal dust which can be given off. Use quality approved anti-fume
goggles. Work with this equipment must be carried out in places or working posts where
there is suitable air renewal. If welding processes are carried out in closed places the use of
suitable fume extractors is recommended.
In welding processes, the electric arc formed gives off infrared and ultraviolet type
irradiations: these are harmful for the eyes and skin, so these areas must be suitably protected
with gloves and suitable clothing. The eyes must be protected with goggles with an quality
approved protection system with a protection index of at least 11. With electric arc welding
machines use protection shield for the eyes and face. With electric cutting machine use
protection goggles. Always use quality approved protection elements. Never use contact
lenses. They may adhere to the cornea due to the great heat given off during the process.
Bear in mind that the arc is considered to be dangerous within a 15-metre radius.
Cast material projections are given off during the welding process so due precautions must
be taken. There must be a fire-extinguisher near to the working area. Do not keep
inflammable material or explosives near to the working post. Prevent fire caused by sparks
or slag. Use quality approved footwear for this type of operations. Use approved auditive
protectors in case of too high noise.
Never direct the path of an electrode-holder clamp towards people.
In environments with a high risk of electrical shock, fire, proximity of inflammable products
or height, observe relative national and international provisions.
