Arc welding creates sparks and drops of melted metal. The welded
„
workpiece starts to glow and remains hot for a relatively long
period of time. Therefore, do not touch the workpiece with bare
hands.
Arc welding can cause vapours to be released that may be
„
hazardous to health. Be careful not to inhale these vapours.
Protect yourself from the harmful effects of the arc and keep people
„
that are not involved in the work away from the arc maintaining a
distance of at least 2 m.
ATTENTION!
During the operation of the welder, other consumers may experience
„
problems with the voltage supply depending on the network
conditions at the connection point. In case of doubt, please contact
your energy supply company.
During the operation of the welder, other devices may malfunction,
„
e.g. hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, etc.
z Potential hazards during electric arc welding
There are a series of potential hazards that can occur during electric
arc welding. It is therefore particularly important for the welder to
observe the following rules to avoid endangering him/herself and
others and to prevent damage to people and the device.
Work on the mains voltage side, e.g. on cables, plugs, sockets
„
etc., may only be carried out by qualified electricians according
to national and local regulations.
In the event of accidents, disconnect the welder from the mains
„
voltage immediately.
If electrical contact voltages occur, switch off the device immediately
„
and have it checked by a qualified electrician.
Always ensure good electrical contacts on the welding current
„
side.
Always wear insulating gloves on both hands during welding
„
work. These provide protection from electrical shocks (no-load
voltage of the welding current circuit), harmful radiations (heat and
UV radiation) and incandescent metal and splashes of slag.
Wear sturdy, insulating shoes. The shoes should also insulate
„
when exposed to moisture. Loafers are not suitable as falling incan-
descent metal droplets can cause burns.
Wear suitable protective clothing, no synthetic garments.
„
Do not look into the arc without eye protection; only use a welding
