5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
– Do not allow bare skin to come into contact with hot metal parts, such as the torch,
electrode holder grippers, electrode stubs, or freshly welded pieces.
– Metal-working gives off sparks and splinters. Wear safety goggles with protective side eye
guards.
– Welding sparks can trigger fires.
– Do not weld or cut anywhere near inflammable materials, gasses or vapours.
– Do not weld or cut containers, cylinders, tanks or piping unless a qualified technician or
expert has checked that it is possible to do so, or has made the appropriate preparations.
– Remove the electrode from the electrode holder gripper when you have completed the
welding operations. Make sure that no part of the electrode holder gripper electric circuit
touches the ground or earth circuits; accidental contact could cause overheating or trigger
a fire.
– The magnetic fields deriving from the welding current may interfere with electrical and
electronic equipment. People fitted with vital electrical devices (pacemakers etc.) should
consult a doctor prior to coming into contact with welding equipment.
– This welding machine satisfies the requirements of the technical product standard
exclusively for professional and industrial use. Compliance with electromagnetic
compatibility for domestic use is not guaranteed.
– The welding machine is installed and used under your own responsibility. In the event of
electromagnetic disturbance, this should be reduced so that it does not cause problems.
Ask a competent expert for technical assistance if required.
Welding in conditions of risk
– If welding needs to be done in conditions of risk (electric discharges, suffocation, the
presence of inflammable or explosive materials), make sure that an authorised expert
evaluates the conditions beforehand. Make sure that trained people are present who can
intervene in the event of an emergency.
Use protective equipment described in the IEC or CLC/TS 62081 technical specification.
– If you are required to work in a position raised above ground level, always use a safety
platform.
– If more than one welding machine has to be used on the same piece, or in any case on
pieces connected electrically, the sum of the no-load voltages on the electrode holders or
on the torches may exceed the safety levels. Make sure that an authorised expert evaluates
the conditions beforehand to see if such risk exists and adopt the protective measures
described in 5.9 of the IEX or CLC/TS 62081 technical specification if required.
5.3 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARC-WELDERS
– Do not use the welding machine for purposes other than those described. For example to
thaw frozen water pipes.
– Place the welding machine on a flat stable surface. and make sure that it cannot move. It
must be positioned in such a way as to allow it to be controlled during use but without the
risk of being covered with welding sparks.
– Do not work with the welding machine hung from the body, using straps or any other
device.
– Do not lift the welding machine. No lifting devices are fitted on the machine.
– Do not use cables with damaged insulation or loose connections.
