z Welding mask-specific
safety instructions
With the help of a bright light
source (e.g. lighter) examine
the proper functioning of the
welding shield prior to starting
with any welding work.
Weld spatters can damage the
protective screen. Immediately
replace damaged or scratched
protective screens.
Immediately replace damaged
or highly contaminated or
splattered components.
The device must only be oper-
ated by people over the age
of 16.
Please familiarise yourself with
the welding safety instructions.
Also refer to the safety instruc-
tions of your welder.
Always wear a welding mask
while welding. If it is not
used, you could sustain severe
lesions to the retina.
Always wear protective cloth-
ing during welding operations.
Never use the welding shield
without the protective screen
because this could damage the
optical unit. There is a risk of
damage to the eyes!
Regularly replace the protec-
tive screen to ensure good
visibility and fatigue-proof
work.
z Environment with
increased electrical
hazard
When welding in environments
with increased electrical hazard,
the following safety instructions
must be observed.
Environments with increased
electrical hazard may be encoun-
tered, for example:
In workplaces where the space
for movement is restricted,
such that the welder is working
in a forced posture (e.g.:
kneeling, sitting, lying) and is
touching electrically conductive
parts;
In workplaces which are
restricted completely or in part
in terms of electrical conductivity
and where there is a high risk
through avoidable or accidental
touching by the welder;
In wet, humid or hot work-
places where the air humidity
or weld significantly reduces
the resistance of human skin
and the insulating properties or
effect of protective equipment.
