Always wear protective clothing
when welding.
Never use the welding shield
without protective glass, as the
optics can otherwise be damaged.
Replace the protective glass
early to ensure good visibility
and fatigue-proof working.
Tight and moist spaces
When working in tight, moist or
hot spaces, use insulating pads
and intermediate layers in addi-
tion to gauntlet gloves made from
leather or other insulating mate-
rials to insulate the body from
earth.
When using welding equipment
in electrically dangerous condi-
tions, e.g. in tight spaces from
conductive walls (kettles, pipes,
etc.), in wet spaces (soaking of
work clothes), the output voltages
of the welding equipment may
not be higher than 48 Volts (rms
value) in open loop. Based on
the output voltage this welding
equipment may be used in these
conditions.
Protective clothing
Whilst working the welder must
be protected against rays and
burns all over the body with the
appropriate clothing and face
protection. Remember the follow-
ing steps:
- Put on protective clothing before
welding.
- Put on gloves.
- Open windows or vent to ensure
air supply.
- Wear safety goggles and a
mask.
Wear gauntlet gloves made
from suitable material (leather)
on both hands. These must be in
good condition.
Wear suitable aprons to protect
the clothing from sparks and
burns. When required based on
the working method, e.g. welding
overhead, wear a protective suit
and, if necessary, a head guard.
Protecting against
rays and burns
Mark the work area with a
sign „Danger! Do not look into
flames!" to indicate the risk to
the eyes. If possible, shield the
