surface and only remove the electrodes from the holder after allowing
it to cool down for 15 minutes.
Pay attention to the condition of the welding cable, electrode
„
holder and the earth terminal. Wear and tear of the insulation and
the live parts can lead to hazards and reduce the quality of the
welding work.
Arc welding creates sparks, molten metal parts and smoke.

Therefore ensure that: All flammable substances and/or materials
are removed from the workplace and its immediate surrounding.
Ensure the workplace is ventilated.

Arc welding can cause vapours to be released that may be hazardous
„
to health. Be careful not to inhale these vapours.
Protect yourself from the harmful effects of the arc and keep people
