Safety Precautions - Gys Rc-Hd4 Betriebsanleitung

User manual
Cylinders should be stored in open or well-ventilated areas. They should be stored in an upright position and kept on a stand or trolley.
Welding should not be carried out near grease or paint.
RISK OF FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS
Fully shield the welding area, flammable materials should be kept at least 11 metres away.
Fire-fighting equipment should be kept close to wherever the welding activities are being undertaken.
Beware of hot material, spatter or sparks being projected, even through cracks, as these can be a source of fire or explosion.
Keep people, flammable objects and pressurised containers at a safe distance.
Welding in closed containers or tubes is to be avoided. If the containers or tubes are open, they must be emptied of all flammable or explosive
materials (oil, fuel, gas residues, etc.).
Grinding work must not be directed towards the source of the welding current or towards any flammable materials.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Never wrap the remote control around your body.
Do not use the remote control to move the welding power source or the wire feeder.
The remote control must be fully uncoiled to avoid overheating.
Check the condition of the remote control regularly. If it is damaged, it must be replaced.
EMC CLASSIFICATION
This Class A device is not intended for use in a residential location where electrical power is supplied by the public low-voltage
power supply network. Ensuring electromagnetic compatibilty may be difficult at these sites due to conducted, as well as
radiated, radio frequency interference.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCES
An electric current passing through any conductor produces localised electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The welding current
produces an electromagnetic field around the welding circuit and the welding equipment.
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can interfere with some medical devices; pacemakers for example. Protective measures must be taken for people with
medical implants. For example, restricted access for passers-by or an individual risk assessment for welders.
All welders should use the following guidelines to minimise exposure to the welding circuit's electromagnetic fields:
• position the welding cables together - securing them with a clamp if possible;
• position yourself (head and body) as far away from the welding circuit as possible,
• never wrap the welding cables around your body,
• do not position yourself in between the welding cables. Keep both welding cables on the same side of the body;
• connect the return cable to the workpiece, as close as possible to the welding area;
• do not work directly next to, sit, or lean on welding power source;
• do not move the welding power source or wire feeder while it is in use.
Pacemaker users should consult a doctor before using this equipment.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields during welding may have other health effects that are not yet known.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ASSESSING THE WELDING AREA AND EQUIPMENT
General Information
It is the user's responsibilit to install and use the arc welding equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances
are detected, it is the user's responsiblity to resolve the situation using the manufacturer's technical support. In some cases, this corrective action may
be as simple as earthing the welding circuit. In other cases, it may be necessary to construct an electromagnetic shield around the welding current
source, and around the entire workpiece, by setting up input filters. In any case, electromagnetic interference should be reduced until it is no longer
a cause for concern.
Assessing the welding area
Before installing arc welding equipment, the user should assess the potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following should
be taken into account:
a) the presence of power, control, signal and telephone cables above, below and next to the arc welding equipment,
b) radio and television receivers and transmitters;
c) computers and other control equipment;
d) safety-critical equipment, e.g. industrial machinery protection;
e) the health of nearby persons, e.g. those using pacemakers or hearing aids;
f) equipment used for calibrating or measurement;
g) the sensitivity of other equipment in the surrounding area.
The user must ensure that other equipment installed in the vicinity is compatible. This may require further protective measures;
h) the time of day when welding or other operations are to be carried out.
