Welding In Tight Spaces; Total Of Open Circuit Voltages; Protective Clothing - Parkside PMSG 200 A1 Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Y De Seguridad

Safety instructions
by using a fault-circuit interrupter,
which is operated with a leakage
current of no more than 30 mA
and covers all mains-powered
devices in close proximity. The
fault-circuit interrupter must be
suitable for all types of current.
There must be a way of rapidly
disconnecting the welding power
source or the welding current cir-
cuit (e.g. emergency stop device)
which is easy to reach. When
using welding devices under
electrically-hazardous conditions,
the output voltage of the welding
device during idle operation
must not be higher than 113 V
(peak value). Based on the output
voltage this welding device may
be used in these conditions.
z Welding in tight spaces
When welding in tight spaces
this may pose a hazard through
toxic gases (risk of suffocation). In
tight spaces you may only weld
if there are trained individuals
in the immediate vicinity who
can intervene if necessary. In
this case, before starting the
welding procedure, an expert
must carry out an assessment in
order to determine what steps are

GB/MT
necessary, in order to guarantee
safety at work and which pre-
cautionary measures should be
taken during the actual welding
procedure.
z Total of open circuit
voltages
When more than one welding
power source is operated at the
same time, their open circuit
voltages may add up and lead to
an increased electrical hazard.
Welding power sources must be
connected in such a way that the
danger is minimised. The indi-
vidual welding power sources,
with their individual control units
and connections, must be clearly
marked, in order to be able to
identify which device belongs to
which welding power circuit.
z Protective clothing
At work, the welder must
„
protect his/her whole body by
using appropriate clothing and
face protection against radia-
tions and burns. The following
steps must be observed:
– Wear protective clothing
prior to welding work.
