Toxic Combustion Gases:
Precautionary measures have to be taken for the welder or
other persons not to be exposed to any toxic combustion
products that may be generated by welding.
Certain chlorinated solvents decompose by action of
ultraviolet radiation and forms phosgene. These solvents
should be handled with care to prevent any contact with
the welded parts. Containers with these solvents and/or
other degreasing agents should be removed from the
welding area.
If you are to weld metals with surface treatment layer
containing lead, zinc, mercury and beryllium, remember
that these ingredients may give formation to toxic
combustion gases concentrations. The user should have
adequate exhaust blowers hand or other special
equipment – breathing apparatus or a helmet with air
supply – to provide for fresh air supply.
Never weld metals containing surface treatment layer of
materials forming toxic combustion gases. Exceptions are
as follows:
The surface layer was removed prior to welding. The
welding area is sufficiently ventilated.
The welder has the breathing apparatus with air supply
available.
Radiation:
UV radiation arising from welding may be harmful to the
eyes and may cause burns of the skin. Therefore,
protective clothing and a helmet should be worn.
Never wear contact lenses when welding because the
strong glow may cause them sticking to the cornea.
The protective shield used at welding should have safety
glass (DIN 10 as a minimum). If the glass gets damaged or
cracked it should be replaced immediately.
Electrical arc may be detrimental to the eyes and it is
harmful au to the distance of 15 metres (50 feet). Never
look in the electrical arc with unprotected eyes.
Electrical Shock:
Any electrical shock may be fatal. For this reason, never
touch conductive cables and /or parts.
You will get isolated from the welded part by wearing
insulation gloves and clothing. Parts of your clothing like
gloves, boots, headgear and outerwear should be always
dry. Avoid any work in moist or wet areas.
Do not touch the welded parts and do not hold them with
your hand either; as soon as you feel the electrical shock,
however small, stop welding immediately. Do not resume
the work until an authorised person diagnoses and clear
the problem/fault. Frequent checks of the main cable for
damages and cracks of the sheathing are essential and so
is instant replacement of the damaged cables. Before the
cable is replaced and the machine enclosure removed,
disconnect the supply cable and main line. Never use the
machine without respective housings and enclosures.
Parts should be replaced with original spare parts only.
Never make changes to the safety circuit breaker, do not
short circuit it and make sure that the current supply lead
is equipped with an efficient grounding plug.
Provide for good grounding of the worktable for welding.
Only authorised personnel shall perform the maintenance.
Mind the high risk related to the hazardous voltage is
imminent at work with the machine.
Pacemakers:
The persons with any electronic life-supporting apparatus
(such as pacemaker) should consult a physician before
getting exposed to the effects of welding machines - arc
welding, cutting or burning or tack welding for them to be
sure that the magnetic field combined with the high electric
current values would not produce and damaging effects on
their apparatuses.
