Prevention against UV rays, fumes and
fires
Arc welding is a welding process by which UV rays are
emitted. Operators should therefore protect their eyes
and faces with suitable face masks or helmets
equipped with adequate filter lenses.
Recommended DIN protection grades for filter lenses
are listed below according to the different welding
procedures and currents used.
MMA welding:
•
grade 10 - up to 80 Amps
•
grade 11 - from 80 to 180 Amps
•
grade 12 - from 180 to 300 Amps
•
grade 13 - from 300 to 480 Amps
•
grade 14 - above 480 Amps
MIG/MAG welding:
•
grade 10 - up to 80 Amps
•
grade 11 - from 80 to 120 Amps
•
grade 12 - from 120 to 180 Amps
•
grade 13 - from 180 to 300 Amps
•
grade 14 - from 300 to 450 Amps
•
grade 15 - above 450 Amps
TIG welding:
•
grade 10 - up to 40 Amps
•
grade 11 - from 40 to 100 Amps
•
grade 12 - from 100 to 180 Amps
•
grade 13 - from 180 to 250 Amps
•
grade 14 - from 250 to 400 Amps
•
grade 15 - above 400 Amps
Operators should wear gauntlets, insulating shoes and
fireproof clothes to protect themselves from radiation,
slags and sparks.
Reflection and transmission of UV rays in workplaces
should be reduced by using antiflash welding screens
or panels.
In order to reduce the toxic action of welding fumes, it is
suggested to operate in ventilated areas. Use fume
extractors close to the welding area, if ventilation is
poor or lacking.
If the piece to be welded is covered by chemicals
(solvents, paints, etc.), it should be carefully cleaned
prior to welding to prevent toxic gas emission.
It is strictly forbidden to weld on fuel tanks, whether they
are full or empty.

Maintenance

Any repair work or replacement of spares should be
carried out by skilled personnel, qualified to operate on
electromechanical systems.
Welders are allowed to remove the side panels of the
welding machine (after disconnecting it from the
mains) only to remove any dust or dirt that may have
been taken in. Such operation, to be carried out by
applying a compressed air jet, is to be repeated at least
every three months. This frequency should be
increased if operating in very dusty places.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

INE welding machines are conceived for use in
industrial applications only (CLASS A of CISPR11). If
they are used differently (e.g. for domestic use), they
may cause compatibility problems, as they may
interfere with other electrical appliances operating in
the vicinity (radios, phones, computers, etc.).
It's the user's responsibility to install the power source
and use it in the proper places so that no EMC problems
may arise. When judging the suitability of a workplace,
the presence of the following should be considered:
•
telephone lines and sets
•
receiving and transmitting radio/TV sets
•
computers and control devices
•
safety devices
•
measuring instruments.
Special attention should be paid to people with
pace-makers and similar bio-electronic devices since
they may be influenced by electromagnetic fields.
These people are strongly suggested to keep away
from any places in which welding is going on.
In the event electromagnetic disturbance should occur,
it's the user's responsibility to solve the situation; INE,
as the manufacturer of the welding set in use, is ready
to assist.

(Enclosure A, particularly) which regulates the matter in
the EEC.
