Preparation of welding work site
Welding operations may cause fire or explosion!
• Strictly follow the occupational health and safety regulations applicable to welding operations and
make sure to provide appropriate fire extinguishers at the welding work site.
• Never carry out welding operations in flammable places that pose the risk of material ignition.
• It is prohibited to weld in the presence of an explosive mixture of combustible gases, vapours, mists
or dust with air.
• Remove all flammable materials within 12 meters fr om the welding operations site and if removal
is not possible, cover flammable materials with fire retardant covering.
• Use safety measures against sparks and glowing metal particles.
• Make sure that sparks or hot metal splinters do not penetrate through the slots or openings in the
coverings, shields or protective screens.
• Do not weld tanks or barrels that contain or have contained flammable substances. Do not weld in
the vicinity of such containers and barrels.
• Do not weld pressure vessels, pipes of pressurized installations or pressure trays.
• Always ensure adequate ventilation.
• It is recommended to take a stable position prior to welding.

Personal protection equipment
Electric arc radiation can cause damage to eyes and skin!
• When welding, wear clean, oil stain free protective clothing made of non-flammable and
nonconductive materials (leather, thick cotton), leather gloves, high boots and protective hood.
• Before welding remove all flammable or explosive items, such as propane butane lighters or
matches.
• Use facial protection (helmet or shield) and eye protection, with a filter featuring a shade level
matching the sight of the welder and the welding current. The safety standards suggest colouring No.
9 (minimum No. 8) for each current below 300 A. A lower shield colouring can be used if the arc is
covered by the workpiece.
• Always use approved safety glasses with side protection under the helmet or any other cover.
• Use guards for the welding operation sites in order to protect other people from the blinding light
radiation or projections.
• Always wear earplugs or another hearing protection to protect against excessive noise and to avoid
spatter entering the ears.
• Bystanders should be warned to not look at the arc.

Protection against electric shock
Shock can be lethal!

position. Positioning the cable negligently in the room and on a surface which was not checked must
be avoided, as it can lead to electrocution or fire.
