Use Of Shoulder Slings; Protective Clothing; Protection From Radiation And Burns - Parkside PFDS 120 A2 Instrucciones De Uso

their separate controls and con-
nections must be clearly marked
to show what belongs to which
welding circuit.
z Use of shoulder slings
Welding is not permitted while
the welding current source or
wire feed unit are carried, e.g.
with a shoulder sling.
This is to prevent:
The risk of losing one's balan-
„
ce when connected lines or ho-
ses are pulled
The increased risk of electrical
„
shock since the welder tou-
ches the ground when using a
welding current source of ca-
tegory I with a housing that is
earthed through its protective
earth.
z Protective clothing
The welder's entire body must
„
be protected from radiation
and burns with the correspon-
ding clothing and facial protec-
tion during work. The following
steps should be oserved:
– Put on protective clothing
before welding.
– Wear gloves.
– Open windows to ensure air
supply.
– Wear protective goggles.
Wear long gloves of a suita-
„
ble material (leather) on both
hands. They must be in an im-
peccable condition.
Wear suitable aprons to pro-
„
tect your clothes from sparks
and burns. If the type of work,
such as overhead welding,
requires, safety garments and,
if necessary, head protection
must be worn.
z Protection from radiation
and burns
Put up a sign "Caution! Do not
„
look into the flames!" at the
workplace to draw attention
to the danger to the eyes. The
workplaces must be shielded
so that any persons nearby are
protected as far as possible.
Unauthorized persons must be
kept away from the welding
work.
The walls in direct proximi-
„
ty of stationary workplaces
should not be of a light color
or glossy. Windows must be
secured against letting through
