devoice from the mains
voltage immediately.
If electrical contact voltages
„
occur, switch off the device
immediately and have it
checked by a qualified
electrician.
Always ensure good electrical
„
contacts on the welding
current side.
Always wear insulating gloves
„
on both hands during welding
work. These provide protection
from electrical shocks (no-load
voltage of the welding cur-
rent circuit), harmful radiations
(heat and UV radiation)
and incandescent metal and
splashes of slag.
Wear sturdy, insulating shoes.
„
The shoes should also insulate
when exposed to moisture.
Loafers are not suitable as
falling incandescent metal
droplets can cause burns.
Wear suitable protective
„
clothing, no synthetic garments.
Do not look into the electric
„
arc without eye protection;
only use a welding mask with
the prescribed protective glass
as per EN. In addition to light
and heat radiation, which
can dazzle or cause burns,
the electric arc also emits UV
radiation. Without suitable
protection the invisible ultra-
violet radiation can cause very
painful conjunctivitis which
is not apparent until several
hours later.
Furthermore, UV radiation
can cause burns sunburn-like
effects on unprotected parts of
the body.
Any persons in the vicinity
„
of the electric arc or helpers
must also be informed of the
dangers and be equipped
with the necessary protective
equipment. If necessary, set up
protective walls.
Ensure an adequate supply
„
of fresh air whilst welding,
particularly in small spaces, as
it produces smoke and harmful
gases.
No welding work may be car-
„
ried out on containers
that have been used for
storing gases, fuels, mineral
oils or similar – even if they
have been empty for a long
time – as possible residues
may present a risk of explosion.
Special regulations apply in
„
rooms where there is a risk of
fire or explosion.
Welded joints that are subject

to heavy stress loads and are
