Risk Generated By Welding Sparks - Elite TIG AC/DC 225 Manual De Usuario

• The low DC voltage of the machine output makes it suitable for use in confined or humid
spaces. However, excessive moisture or sweating on clothing should be avoided. Make
sure there is an insulated surface where the machine can be placed.
• Pay attention to grounding systems when welding on electrically operated equipment or
systems. Improper connections to your welding equipment can allow welding process
current to flow through the grounding system. Always connect the work clamp as close as
possible to the welding area, avoid placing it in a random place.
• In the event of an accident, disconnect the machine from the electrical outlet
immediately.
• Only allow qualified personnel to repair the machine with original spare parts, this
guarantees that the machine remains in optimal operating conditions.
• Keep the machine out of the reach of rain and do not use it in humid environments.

Risk generated by welding sparks:

Sparks produced by the electric arc can cause fires or explosions if they come into
contact with flammable or explosive materials.
• Do not use the device in environments that present an explosion hazard or where there
are flammable liquids, gases or dust. The welders produce sparks and molten metal that
can start a conflagration.
• Remove all flammable substances from the job site. Fire cannot be detected while using
eye protection when welding.
• Do not carry out welding processes on containers, naval artifacts or pipes that have
contained flammable liquids such as gasoline, mineral oils or gas even if they were
unoccupied a long time ago since a small quantity may represent an explosion risk.
• Do not use the machine to thaw pipes, do not weld in sealed containers.
• Always keep a charged fire extinguisher and a trained person to use it close to the
workplace.
