- the operator should never touch, with any part of his body, high temperature or
electrically hot metal parts (Fig. 9);
FIG.9
- the operator should never wind the welding cables around his body;
- the welding gun should never be pointed at the operator or at another person. The
power source has a protection level IP 21; therefore, it prevents:
- any manual contact with hot or moving internal parts;
- the insertion of any solid body with more than 12mm diameter;
- protected against vertically falling drops of water (condensation).
The source must never be operated without its panels; this could cause serious injury
to the operator and could damage the equipment itself.

2.4 Fire prevention

The working area should conform to the Safety Regulations, and therefore, fire
extinguishers should be provided in the area and walls, ceiling and floor should be
non-flammable. All combustible material must be moved from the welding area (Fig.
10). If combustibles cannot be moved, they must be protected with fire-resistant cover.
Ventilate potentially flammable atmospheres before welding. Never operate in an
atmosphere which contains heavy concentrations of dust, flammable gas or combustible
liquid vapor. The power source must be located in a safe area with a firm and flat floor;
it should not be put against a wall. Do not weld containers in which fuel, lubricant or
any other flammable material have been stored. After having completed your work,
always check that the area is free of glowing or smouldering material.
