While the machine is in use:
- ensure that all the covers are closed and that all the sideguards are
properly mounted ...
- ... and that all covers and sideguards are kept closed.
When the welding wire emerges from the torch, there is a high risk of injury
(the wire may pierce the welder's hand, injure his face and eyes ...). For this
reason, when feeder-inching etc., always hold the torch so that it is pointing
away from your body (machines with wirefeeder).
Do not touch the workpiece during and after welding - risk of injury from
burning!
Slag may suddenly "jump" off workpieces as they cool. For this reason,
continue to wear the regulation protective gear, and to ensure that other
persons are suitably protected, when doing post-weld finishing on
workpieces.
Allow welding torches - and other items of equipment that are used at high
operating temperatures - to cool down before doing any work on them.
Special regulations apply to rooms at risk from fire and/or explosion. Observe
all relevant national and international regulations.
Risk of scalding from accidental discharge of hot coolant. Before unplugging
the connectors for coolant forward flow and return flow, switch off the cooling
unit.
Power sources for use in spaces with increased electrical danger (e.g.
boilers) must be identified by the
However, the power source should not be in such rooms.
When hoisting the machines by crane, only use suitable manufacturer-
supplied lifting devices.
- Attach the chains and/or ropes to all the hoisting points provided on the
suitable lifting device.
- The chains and/or ropes must be at an angle which is as close to the
vertical as possible.
- Remove the gas cylinder and the wirefeed unit (from MIG/MAG and TIG
units).
When hoisting the wirefeed unit by crane during welding, always use a
suitable, insulating suspension arrangement (MIG/MAG and TIG units).
If a machine is fitted with a carrying strap or carrying handle, remember that
this strap is ONLY to be used for lifting and carrying the machine by hand.
The carrying strap is NOT suitable for transporting the machine by crane,
fork-lift truck or by any other mechanical hoisting device.
Danger of colourless and odourless inert gas escaping unnoticed, when
using an adapter for the inert gas protection. Seal the adapter thread for the
inert gas connection using Teflon tape before assembly.
