Electrocution risks when welding
DANGER
Wear insulated gloves and use the necessary protection to ensure there is no contact with the work surface or the ground. Remove
the welding cables as soon as the welding operations are complete.
2.10.4.1
Connection and choice of welding cables
The welding cables must be of the minimum length required, they must be kept together and they must pass along the ground. Do
not use cables which have an incorrect cross section or a damaged insulated sheath.
Adhere to the cross sections and lengths for the cable diameter given in this table.

Risks of magnetic interference
DANGER
Check that all equipment used within the welding zone is electromagnetically compatible. To reduce the possibility of interference,
keep the welding cables as short as possible, group them together and lay them as low as possible (preferable on the ground).
Ensure that welding is performed at least 100 metres away from any sensitive electronic equipment and that the welding unit is
installed and earthed in accordance with these instructions. If there is interference after the above measures have been taken, the
user is responsible for taking additional measures such as moving the unit, using shielded cables, using line filters or fitting
protective units within the work zone.

RISK OF FIRE
DANGER OF DEATH
Before welding: Remove any combustible substances from your pockets and check that the protective
clothing you are wearing is not soiled. Connect the cable to the part to be welded as close as possible
to the welding zone. Never use the unit inside an enclosed container such as a tank, drum or duct (risk
of bursting).
When welding: Keep all flammable or explosive products (petrol, oil, cloths, etc.) a minimum distance of
11m from the welding arc. Prevent the electrode from accidentally coming into contact with metal
objects (risk of sparks, explosion).
After welding: If the unit is not being used for welding, do not leave the electrode rod in the electrode
holder or cut the wire at the point of contact. Never cover the unit or its electrode with any type of
material while it is in operation or just after it has been turned off.
RISK OF BURNS DURING WELDING
DANGER OF DEATH
Welding generates sparks and ultraviolet and infrared rays which can burn the skin or damage the
eyes.
Parts which have recently been welded will be hot, and may cause burns: ensure that these have time
to cool before handling and use.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
DANGER OF DEATH
The electrode, the welding sockets and the welding circuit are live as soon as the unit is switched on:
any contact may cause serious burns or death.
5 to 10 m
10 to 20 m
RISKS OF MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
DANGER OF DEATH
Persons fitted with a pacemaker must consult their doctor before any involvement in welding
operations. The magnetic fields may affect pacemakers, and may cause interference to sensitive
electronic equipment such as computers and computer-controlled equipment such as robots, and
radionavigation and communication equipment.
