Welding Mask-Specific Safety Instructions; Environment With Increased Electrical Hazard - Parkside PIFDS 120 A1 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise Originalbetriebsanleitung

z Welding mask-specific
safety instructions
With the help of a bright light
„
source (e.g. lighter) examine
the proper functioning of the
welding shield prior to starting
with any welding work.
Weld spatters can damage the
„
protective screen. Immediately
replace damaged or scratched
protective screens.
Immediately replace damaged
„
or highly contaminated or
splattered components.
The device must only be oper-
„
ated by people over the age
of 16.
Please familiarise yourself with
„
the welding safety instructions.
Also refer to the safety instruc-
tions of your welder.
Always wear a welding mask
„
while welding. If it is not
used, you could sustain severe
lesions to the retina.
Always wear protective cloth-
„
ing during welding operations.
Never use the welding shield
„
without the protective screen
because this could damage the
optical unit. There is a risk of
damage to the eyes!
Regularly replace the protec-
„
tive screen to ensure good
visibility and fatigue-proof
work.
z Environment with
increased electrical
hazard
When welding in environments
with increased electrical hazard,
the following safety instructions
must be observed.
Environments with increased
electrical hazard may be encoun-
tered, for example:
In workplaces where the space
„
for movement is restricted,
such that the welder is working
in a forced posture (e.g.:
kneeling, sitting, lying) and is
touching electrically conductive
parts;
In workplaces which are
„
restricted completely or in part
in terms of electrical conductivity
and where there is a high risk
through avoidable or accidental
touching by the welder;
In wet, humid or hot work-
„
places where the air humidity
or weld significantly reduces
the resistance of human skin
and the insulating properties or
effect of protective equipment.
