Welding safety instructions
► Arc welding may cause damage to the eyes, skin and hearing. Please
note that other hazards may occur in connection with other welding
components. Therefore, always wear the required safety clothing in
compliance with local regulations.
► Any metal vapours, especially lead, cadmium, copper and beryllium are
harmful! Ensure sufficient ventilation or extraction. Do not exceed the
current occupational exposure limits (OEL).
► In order to prevent phosgene gas formation, rinse workpieces that have
been degreased with chlorinated solvents using clean water.
2.5
Safety instructions regarding protective clothing
► Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry.
► Use a hair net for long hair.
2.6
Safety instructions for use
► Do not exceed the maximum load data specified in the documentation.
Excessive loads lead to irreparable damage.
► Do not make any constructive changes to this device.
2.7
Classification of the warnings
The warnings used are divided into four different categories and are
indicated prior to potentially dangerous work steps.
DANGER
Describes an imminent threatening danger. If not avoided, it may cause severe injuries or death.
WARNING
Describes a potentially dangerous situation. If not avoided, this may result in death or serious injuries.
CAUTION
Describes a potentially harmful situation. If not avoided, this may result in slight or minor injuries.
NOTICE
Describes the risk of impairing work results or potential material damage and irreparable damage to the device or to the equipment.
2.8
Emergency information
► In the event of an emergency, immediately disconnect the following
supplies: Electrical power supply, compressed air supply, coolant supply
and shielding gas supply.

Do not place degreasing baths containing chlorine in the vicinity of the
welding area.
► Further hazards may exist in connection with various welding torches,
for example those caused by electrical current (welding power source,
internal circuit), weld spatter with regard to combustible or explosive
materials, UV radiation from the arc, smoke and vapours.
► Adhere to the general fire protection regulations and remove flammable
materials from the vicinity of the welding work area prior to
starting work. Provide appropriate fire extinguishing equipment in the
workplace.
► During operation and in connection with the welding process, always
wear safety goggles, protective gloves and, if necessary, a breathing
mask.
► During welding work outdoors, use suitable protection against the
weather conditions.
Depending on the type of danger, the following signal words will be used:
