RISK OF FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS
Fully shield the welding area, flammable materials should be kept at least 11 metres away.
Fire fighting equipment should be kept close to wherever the welding activities are being undertaken.
Be careful of spatter and sparks, even through cracks. It can be the source of fire or explosion. Keep people, flammable objects and
pressurised containers at a safe distance. Welding in closed containers or tubes is to be avoided. If the containers or tubes are open,
they must be emptied of all flammable or explosive materials (oil, fuel, gas residues, etc.).
Grinding work must not be directed towards the source of the welding current or towards any flammable materials.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical network used must be earthed. An electric shock can be the source of a serious accident, whether
directly or indirectly, or even death.
Never touch live parts either inside or outside of the power source (cables, electrodes, arms, gun, etc.) as these are connected to
the welding circuit.
Before opening the welding machine power source, disconnect it from the mains and wait two minutes to ensure that all the capa-
citors have fully discharged.
Damaged cables and torches must be changed by a qualified and skilled professional. Measure the cable cross-section according
to the intended application. Always use dry and in-tact clothing to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Always wear insulated
footwear, in all working environments.
EMC CLASSIFICATION
This Class A device is not intended for use in a residential environment where power is provided by the public
low-voltage local supply network. Ensuring electromagnetic compatibilty may be difficult at these sites due to
conducted, as well as radiated, radio frequency interference.
EN 61000-3-12 This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-12 standard.
EN 61000-3-11 This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCES
An electric current passing through any conductor produces localised electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The
welding current produces an electromagnetic field around the welding circuit and the welding equipment.
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can interfere with some medical devices; pacemakers for example. Protective measures must be taken
for people with medical implants. For example, restricted access for passers-by or an individual risk assessment for welders.
All welders should use the following procedures to minimise exposure to electromagnetic fields from the welding circuit:
• position the welding cables together - securing them with a clamp if possible;
• position yourself (head and body) as far away from the welding circuit as possible,
• never wrap the welding cables around your body,
• do not position yourself in between the welding cables. Keep both welding cables on the same side of the body;
• connect the return cable to the workpiece, as close as possible to the welding area;
• do not work directly next to, sit, or lean on welding power source;
• do not move the welding power source while it is in use.
Pacemaker users should consult a doctor before using this equipment.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields during welding may have other health effects that are not yet known.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ASSESSING THE WELDING AREA AND EQUIPMENT
General Information
The user is responsible for installing and using the capacitive discharge equipment in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
If electromagnetic interference is detected, it is the responsibility of the user of the capacitive discharge unit to rectify the disturbance
by seeking technical assistance from the manufacturer. In some cases, this corrective action may be as simple as earthing the welding
circuit. In other cases, it may be necessary to construct an electromagnetic shield around the welding current source, and around
the entire workpiece, by setting up input filters. In any case, electromagnetic interference should be reduced until it is no longer an
inconvenience.
