Safety instructions
Only have work to the mains
„
voltage end, e.g. to cables,
plugs, outlets, etc. performed
by a electrically skilled person
in accordance with national
and local regulations.
In the event of an accident,
„
immediately disconnect the
welding equipment from the
mains voltage.
If electrical contact voltage
„
occurs, immediately switch
the equipment off and have
it inspected by an electrically
skilled person.
Always ensure good electrical
„
contacts on the welding cur-
rent end.
Always wear insulating gloves
„
on both hands whilst welding.
These will protect from electric
shock (no-load voltage of the
welding current), from hazard-
ous rays (heat and UV rays)
and glowing metal and weld
splashes.
Wear solid, insulating shoes.
„
The shoes should also insulate
when exposed to moisture.
Low shoes are not suitable, as
glowing metal drops falling
could cause burns.
Wear suitable protective cloth-
„
ing, no synthetic garments.
Do not look into the arc with
„
unprotected eyes, only use a
10 GB/CY
welding shield with approved
protective glass per DIN. In
addition to light- and heat rays
which could result in blinding
or burns, the arc also emits UV
rays. Without adequate pro-
tection, this invisible ultraviolet
radiation causes very painful
conjunctivitis which is only
noticed a few hours later. UV
rays further cause burns simi-
lar to a sunburn in unprotected
areas of the body.
Persons near the arc or assis-
„
tants must also be informed of
the risks and outfitted with the
necessary protection. If neces-
sary, set up protective panels.
Ensure an adequate supply of
„
fresh air whilst welding, par-
ticularly in small spaces, as it
produces smoke and harmful
gasses.
Do not weld containers in
„
which gasses, fuels, mineral
oils, etc. were stored - even if
emptied a long time ago - as
residue poses an explosion
hazard.
Special regulations apply in
„
rooms posing fire- and explo-
sion hazards.
Welded joints exposed to
„
great strain and needing to
meet certain safety require-
ments must be made by spe-
