4.1. General
Take care of your own safety and the safety of bystanders by carefully reading and
•
following the instructions in the unit manual.
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to start up, use, service and repair the unit.
•
•
Do not misuse the unit.
4.2. Guidelines for securing fire hazardous work
Preparing the building and rooms for fire hazardous works consists in:
cleaning the rooms or places where the work will be carried out of any flammable materials
•
and contamination;
•
moving all flammable and non-flammable objects in flammable packaging away to a safe
distance;
•
securing materials that cannot be removed, e.g. welding spatter, by covering them with
e.g. sheet metal, gypsum boards, etc;
•
checking whether materials or objects susceptible to ignition in adjacent rooms do not
require local protection;
•
sealing with non-combustible materials all installation and ventilation openings, etc., in the
vicinity of the work site;
protecting electrical and gas cables with flammable insulation against welding splashes or
•
mechanical damage, if they are located within the risk range of fire hazardous work;
make sure that painting or other work with flammable substances is not being carried out
•
at the location where the work is to be done.
Sparks may cause fires
Welding sparks can cause fires, explosions and burns to unprotected skin. Wear welding gloves and
protective clothing when welding. Remove or secure all flammable materials and substances from the
work area. Do not weld closed containers or tanks that have contained flammable liquids. Such
containers or tanks should be flushed before welding to remove flammable liquids. Do not weld near
flammable gases, vapors or liquids. Fire fighting equipment (fire blankets and powder or snow
extinguishers) should be located near the work area in a visible and easily accessible location.
Cylinders can explode
Use only approved gas cylinders and a properly functioning regulator. Cylinders should be transported,
stored and positioned upright. Protect cylinders from heat, tipping and mechanical damage. Keep all
parts of gas installation in good condition: cylinder, hose, fittings, regulator.
Welded materials can cause burns
Never touch welded parts with unprotected body parts. Always wear welding gloves and pliers when
touching or moving welded material.
4.3. Preparation of the workplace for welding
Caution! Welding can cause a fire or explosion.
• Observe the health and safety regulations for welding work and equip the workplace with an
appropriate fire extinguisher
• Welding in places where flammable materials can ignite is forbidden.
• Welding in an atmosphere containing an explosive mixture of flammable gases, vapors, mists or
dusts with air is forbidden.
