ATTENTION! Sparks can cause an ignition many
hours after the welding has been finished, especially
in unapproachable places.
SECURITY OF WORK WHILE WELDING OF METALS
CONTAINING LEAD, CADMIUM, ZINK, MERCURY
AND GLUCINUM
Make specific precautions if you weld metals con-
taining these metals:

Do not carry out welding processes on gas, oil,
fuel etc. tanks (even empty ones) because there
is the risk of an explosion. Welding can be carri-
ed out only according to specific regulations!!!

In spaces with the risk of an explosion there are
specific regulations valid.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK PREVENTION

Do not carry out repairs with the
generator live.

Before carrying out any mainte-
nance or repair activities, disconnect the machi-
ne from the mains.

Ensure that the welder is suitably earths.

The equipment must be installed and run by qua-
lified personnel.

All connections must be performed according to
valid directives and under safety standarts (CEI
26-10- CENELEC HD427).

Do not weld with worn or loose wires. Inspect all
cables frequently and ensure that there are no
insulation defects, uncovered wires or loose
connections.

Do not weld with cables of insufficient diameter
and stop soldering if the cables overheat, so as
to avoid rapid deterioration of the insulation.

Never directly touch live parts. After use, care-
fully replace the torch or the electrode holding
grippers, avoiding contact with the parts con-
nected to earth.
SAFETY REGARDING WELDING FUMES
AND GAS

Carry out purification of the work
area, from gas and fumes mitted du-
ring the welding, especially when welding is
carried out in an enclosed space.

Place the welding system in a well-aired place.

Remove any traces of varnish that cover the
parts to be welded, in order to avoid toxic gases
being released. Always air the work area.

Do not weld in places where gas leaks are
suspected or close to internal combustion
engines.

Keep the welding equipment away from baths
for the removal of grease where vapours of tri-
chlorethylene or other chlorine containing hyd-
rocarbons are used as solvents, as the welding
arc and the ultraviolet radiation produced by it
react with such vapours to form phosgene,
a highly toxic gas.
PROTECTION
BURNS AND NOISE

Never use broken or defective
protection masks.

Do not look at the welding arc without a suitable
protective shield or helmet.

Protect your eyes with a special screen fitted
with adiactinic glass (protection grade DIN 9-14).

Immediately replace unsuitable adiactinic glass.

Place transparent glass in front of the adiactinic
glass to protect it.

Do not trigger off the welding arc before you are
sure that all nearby people are equipped with
suitable protection.

Pay attention that the eyes of nearby persons are
not damaged by the ultraviolet rays produced by
the welding arc.

Always use protective overalls, splinter-proof
glasses and gloves.

Wear protective earphones or earplugs.

Wear leather gloves in order to avoid burns and
abrasions while manipulating the pieces.
AVOIDANCE OF FLAMES AND EXPLO-
SIONS

Remove all combustibles from the
workplace.

Do not weld close to inflammable materials or li-
quids, or in environ ments saturated with explo-
sive gasses.

Do not wear clothing impregnated with oil and
grease, as sparks can trigger off fame's.

Do not weld on recipients that have contained
inflammable substances, or on materials that
can generate toxic and inflammable vapours
when heated.

Do not weld a recipient without first determin-
ing what it has contained. Even small traces of
an inflammable gas or liquid can cause an explo-
sion.

Never use oxygen to degas a container.

Avoid gas-brazing with wide cavities that have
not been properly degassed.

Keep a fire extinguisher close to the workplace.

Never use oxygen in a welding torch; use only
inert gases or mixtures of these.
