Safety Rules and Warnings for Portable
Welders
• ALWAYS wear regulation protective gear and clothing.
Protective visor, regulation filter, ear protection, goggles with
side protection, insulated gloves and insulated footwear
should be worn when welding.
DANGER: Heat, flying sparks, pieces of hot metal and arc
radiation can damage skin and eyes.
• ALWAYS wear protective helmet to protect eyes
and face from UV rays, heat and sparks.
• Wear regulation protective goggles with side
protection and filter behind the protective visor.
• Wear correct eye, ear and body protection.
DANGER: Fumes produced during welding contain
harmful gases and vapors and must not be breathed
in. Welding fumes contain substances that may, under certain
circumstances, cause birth defects or cancer.
• NEVER use welder in poorly ventilated or
enclosed areas. Fumes produced during welding
contain harmful gases and vapors can build up in
these areas.
• Fumes and hazardous gases must be extracted
from the work area using appropriate methods.
If there is any doubt that extraction method is
adequate, the measured toxic emission values
must be compared to the permissible limit values.
• Ventilate the work area to ensure an adequate
supply of fresh air. Otherwise, a protective mask
with an air supply must be worn.
• Read all the relevant material safety data sheets
and manufacturer's specifications for the listed
components. Metals used for the workpiece,
electrodes, coatings, cleaners, etc. can be
responsible, amongst other things, for the degree
of toxicity of welding fumes.
