Protective Clothing - Parkside PTMI 180 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

The individual welding power sources, with their individual control
units and connections, must be clearly marked, in order to be able
to identify which device belongs to which welding power circuit.
z Using shoulder straps
Welding must not take place if the welding power source is being
carried e.g. with a shoulder strap.
This is intended to prevent:
The risk of losing your balance if the lines or hoses which are
„
connected are pulled
The increased risk of an electric shock as the welder comes into
„
contact with the earth if he/she is using a Class I welding power
source, the housing of which is earthed through its conductor.
z Protective clothing
At work, the welder must protect his/her whole body by using
„
appropriate clothing and face protection against radiations and
burns. The following steps must be observed:
Wear protective clothing prior to welding work
–
Wear gloves.
–
Open windows or use fans to guarantee air supply.
–
Wear safety goggles and face mask.
–
Gauntlet gloves made of a suitable material (leather) must be worn
„
on both hands. They must be in perfect condition.
A suitable apron must be worn to protect clothing from flying
„
sparks and burns. When specific work, e.g. overhead welding,
is required, a protective suit must be worn and, if necessary, even
head protection.
PROTECTION AGAINST RAYS AND BURNS
Warn of the danger to the eyes by hanging up a sign saying
„
"Caution! Do not look into flames!" in the work area.
The workplaces must be shielded so that the persons in the vicinity
are protected. Unauthorised persons must be kept away from
welding work.
The walls in the immediate vicinity of fixed workplaces should
„
neither be bright coloured or shiny. Windows up to head height
must be protected to prevent rays from penetrating or reflecting
through them, e.g. by using suitable paint.
