Gauntlet gloves made of a suitable material (leather) must be worn
on both hands. They must be in perfect condition.
A suitable apron must be worn to protect clothing from flying
sparks and burns. When specific work, e.g. overhead welding,
is required, a protective suit must be worn and, if necessary, even
head protection.
PROTECTION AGAINST RAYS AND BURNS
Warn of the danger to the eyes by hanging up a sign saying
"Caution! Do not look into flames!" in the work area.
The workplaces must be shielded so that the persons in the vicinity
are protected. Unauthorised persons must be kept away from
welding work.
The walls in the immediate vicinity of fixed workplaces should
neither be bright coloured or shiny. Windows up to head height
must be protected to prevent rays from penetrating or reflecting
through them, e.g. by using suitable paint.
z EMC Device Classification
According to the standard IEC 60974-10, this is a welder in elec-
tromagnetic compatibility Class A. Class A devices are devices that
are suitable for use in all other areas except living areas and areas
that are directly connected to a low-voltage supply mains that (also)
supplies residential buildings. Class A devices must adhere to the
Class A limit values.
WARNING NOTICE: Class A devices are intended for use in
an industrial environment. Due to the power-related as well as the
radiated interference variables, difficulties might arise in ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments.
Even if the device complies with the emission limit values in accordance
with the standard, such devices can still cause electromagnetic
interference in sensitive systems and devices. The user is responsible
for faults caused by the arc while working, and the user must take
suitable protective measures. In doing so, the user must consider the
following:
power cables, control, signal and telecommunication lines
–
computer and other microprocessor controlled devices
–
television, radio and other playback devices
–
electronic and electrical safety equipment
–
persons with cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids
–
measurement and calibration devices
