or cutting tasks on closed vessels or pipes. Do not perform welding or cutting
tasks on vessels and pipes, even when they are open if they contain or have
contained materials that could explode or cause other dangerous reactions under
the influence of heat or damp.
INSTALLATION OF THE WELDING MACHINE
When installing the machine, the following regulations must be observed: the
operator must have free access to control elements and connecting points of the
machine. It is not advisable to install the machine in close-spaced rooms:
sufficient ventilation of the welding machine is very important. When installing
avoid heavily dusted or dirty areas where the machine could aspirate the dust or
other objects. The machine (including cables) may neither form an obstacle in
passing nor keep other persons from their work. The welding machine may be
operated only on a flat base and the gas cylinder used for its operation should be
properly secured. Never use the welder to defrost frozen pipes.
EMERGENCY ACTION
Apply first aid to the injury and get qualified medical assistance as quickly as
possible. Protect the injured person from more accidents and calm him/her down.
For the sake of eventual accident, in accordance with DIN 13164, a work place has
to be fitted with a first aid kit. It is essential to replace any used material in the first
aid kit immediately after it has been used. If you seek help, state the following
pieces of information:
1. Accident site
2. Accident type
3. Number of injured persons
4. Injury type(s)
PRE PRECAUTIONS
a)
All flammable materials MUST be removed from the welding area.
b)
DO NOT strike an arc on or near the gas cylinder.
c)
DO NOT attempt to weld fuel or gas containers unless adequate procedures
have been taken to ensure that no vapor remains. Fuel tanks should be
thoroughly steam cleaned before welding.

WELDING FUMES
Toxic gases are given off during the MIG welding process. Always use in a
well-ventilated area.
ARC GLARE
Always use a face shield or welding helmet fitted with the correct glass filter.
Never use damaged safety equipment.
HEAT
Wear welding gloves at all times whilst welding. They will protect the hands from
ultra-violet radiation and direct heat of the arc. It is also recommended that
overalls are worn.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
a)
When welding at higher settings wear a leather apron to protect the operator
from spatter.
b)
When welding in the overhead position, a suitable cap should protect the head
and neck.
c)
We recommend that you wear industrial footwear including steel toes caps.
EMC DEVICE CLASSIFICATION
According to IEC 60974-10, welding machines are classified in two classes of
electromagnetic compatibility.
Class A: devices are not designed for use in residential areas, for which the electric
energy is drawn from the public low-voltage supply network.
a)
While ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility of class A equipment,
disturbances can be cause in public low-voltage supply network areas as well
as radiated disturbances.
Class B: equipment meets the EMC requirements in industrial as well as
residential area. This includes residential areas with connection to the public low
-voltage supply network.
