Altitude :
Up to 1,000m above sea level (3280 feet).
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTIONS AND OTHERS
Arc welding can be dangerous and cause serious injury or death.
Welding exposes people to dangerous heat, light radiation from the arc, electromagnetic fields (beware if you have a pacemaker),
risk of electrocution, noise, and gas emissions.
To protect yourself and others, please comply with the following safety instructions:
To protect yourself from burns and radiation, wear clothes without cuffs/lapels, that are insulating, dry, fireproof and
in good condition, and that cover the whole body.
Wear protective gloves which provide electrical and thermal insulation�
Use a mask or goggles with a tint between 5 and 9. Protect your eyes during cleaning procedures. Contact lenses
are specifically forbidden.
Wear noise protection headphones if the welding process becomes louder than the permissible limit (this is also
applicable to anyone else in the welding area).
Keep moving parts (gun) away from hair & clothing.
Newly welded parts are hot and can cause burns when handled. When servicing the gun or elec-
trode holder, Make sure that it is sufficiently cool by waiting at least 10 minutes before any manipulation.
It is important to secure the working area before leaving it, in order to protect people and property.
WELDING FUMES AND GAS
Fumes, gases and dusts emitted by welding are harmful to health. It is mandatory to ensure adequate ventilation,
and an additional air supply may be required. An air-fed mask could be a solution in situations where there is
inadequate ventilation.
Check the extraction system's performance against the relevant safety standards.
Caution : Welding in confined spaces requires safety monitoring from a safe distance. In addition, the welding of certain materials
containing lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium can be very harmful. also remove any grease on the workpieces before wel-
ding�
Cylinders should be stored in open or well-ventilated areas. The cylinders must be in a vertical position secured to a support or trolley.
Welding should not be carried out near grease or paint�
