Use of shoulder slings
Welding shall not be carried out while the welding
power source is worn, e.g. with a shoulder sling.
This is to prevent:
• The risk of losing balance when pulling connected
cables or hoses.
• The increased risk of electric shock due to the
welder coming into contact with earth when using
a Class I welding power source whose housing is
earthed by its protective earth conductor.
Protective clothing
• During the work, the welder must be protected
against rays and burns by clothing over their entire
body and face protection.
• Gauntlets made of a suitable material (leather) must
be worn on both hands. They must be in perfect
condition.
• Suitable aprons must be worn to protect clothing
from flying sparks and burns. If the type of work
requires it, e.g. overhead welding, an overall and, if
necessary, head protection must be worn.
• The protective clothing and all accessories used
must correspond to the "Personal Protective
Equipment" directive.
Protection from rays and burns
• Advise of the danger to the eyes with a note saying
"Caution, do not look into the flames!" at the place
of work. Workplaces must be shielded as much as
possible so that persons in the vicinity are protected.
Unauthorised persons must be kept away from the
welding work
• The walls should not be light-coloured or glossy in
the immediate vicinity of fixed workplaces. Windows
must not allow rays through and be secured against
the reflection of rays at least up to head height, e.g.
using a suitable coat of paint.
EMC equipment classification
ATTENTION! This class A device
is not intended for use in residential
environments in which the power supply
comes from a public low-voltage supply
system. It can be difficult to ensure electromagnetic
compatibility in these areas, both due to conducted
and radiated high-frequency interferences.
30 | GB
Even if the welding device complies with the
emission limits in accordance with the standard, arc
welding equipment may still cause electromagnetic
interference in sensitive systems and devices. The
user is responsible for interference caused by the arc
during welding and the user must take appropriate
protective measures.
The user must pay particular attention to the following:
• Mains, control, signal and telecommunication lines
• Computers and other microprocessor-controlled
• devices
• Television, radio and other playback equipment
• Electronic and electrical safety devices
• Persons with pacemakers or hearing aids
• Measuring and calibration equipment
• Immunity of other equipment in the vicinity
• The time of day when the welding work is carried
out.
In order to reduce possible interference radiation,
it is recommended:
• Set up and operate the welding device properly to
minimise possible disruptive emissions.
• Maintain the welding device regularly and keep it in
good condition.
• Welding cables should be fully unwound and run
parallel to the floor insofar as possible.
• Equipment and installations at risk from disruptive
radiation should be removed from the welding area
if possible or shielded.
• Using an electromagnetic filter that reduces
electromagnetic interference.
General safety measures
The user is responsible for installing and using the
device properly in accordance with the instructions of
the manufacturer. If electromagnetic interference is
identified, it is the responsibility of the user to eliminate
it using the technical aids mentioned above under point
"Important note on the power connection".
Warning! This power tool generates an electromagnetic
field during operation. This field can impair active or
passive medical implants under certain conditions. In
order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of
the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.
