Lincoln Electric Bester Screen II Manual De Instrucciones página 3

This equipment must be used by qualified personnel. Be sure that all installation, operation, maintenance and repair
procedures are performed only by qualified person. Read and understand this manual before operating this equipment.
Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could cause serious personal injury, loss of life, or damage to this equipment.
Read and understand the following explanations of the warning symbols. Lincoln Electric is not responsible for damages
caused by improper installation, improper care or abnormal operation. If protection against high speed particles at extremes
of temperature is required then the selected eye-protector should be marked with the letter "T" immediately after the
resistance to impact letter. If the impact letter is not followed by the letter "T" then the eye protector shall only be used against
high speed particles at room temperature. If the symbols F, B & A in the marking are not common to both the oculars and the
helmet then it is the lowest which shall be assigned to the complete eye protector.
WARNING: This symbol indicates that instructions must be followed to avoid serious personal injury, loss of life, or
damage to this equipment. Protect yourself and others from possible serious injury or death.
READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTIONS: Read and understand this manual before operating this equipment. Arc
welding can be hazardous. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could cause serious personal injury, loss of life,
or damage to this equipment.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL: Welding equipment generates high voltages. Do not touch the electrode, work clamp, or
connected work pieces when this equipment is on. Insulate yourself from the electrode, work clamp, and connected work
pieces.
ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before
working on this equipment. Ground this equipment in accordance with local electrical regulations.
ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Regularly inspect the input, electrode, and work clamp cables. If any
insulation damage exists replace the cable immediately. Do not place the electrode holder directly on the welding table or
any other surface in contact with the work clamp to avoid the risk of accidental arc ignition.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE DANGEROUS: Electric current flowing through any conductor creates
electric and magnetic fields (EMF). EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker
shall consult their physician before operating this equipment.
CE COMPLIANCE: This equipment complies with the European Community Directives.
ARTIFICIAL OPTICAL RADIATION: According with the requirements in 2006/25/EC Directive and EN 12198 Standard,
the equipment is a category 2. It makes mandatory the adoption of Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) having filter
with a protection degree up to a maximum of 15, as required by EN169 Standard.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS: Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid
breathing these fumes and gases. To avoid these dangers the operator must use enough ventilation or exhaust to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN: Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays
of the arc when welding or observing. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect you skin
and that of your helpers. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and warn them not to
watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc.
WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Remove fire hazards from the welding area and have a fire
extinguisher readily available. Welding sparks and hot materials from the welding process can easily go through small
cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Do not weld on any tanks, drums, containers, or material until the proper steps
have been taken to insure that no flammable or toxic vapors will be present. Never operate this equipment when
flammable gases, vapors or liquid combustibles are present.
WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN: Welding generates a large amount of heat. Hot surfaces and materials in work area
can cause serious burns. Use gloves and pliers when touching or moving materials in the work area.
SAFETY MARK: This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding operations carried out in an environment with
increased hazard of electric shock.
Materials which may come into contact with the wearer's skin could cause allergic reactions to susceptible individuals.
This is not a safety helmet ! This helmet has been designed only to protect against the risks of welding processes.
