Please familiarise yourself
with the welding safety instruc-
tions. Also refer to the safety
instructions of your welding
device.
Always wear a welding mask
while welding. If it is not
used, you could sustain severe
lesions to the retina.
Always wear protective cloth-
ing during welding operations.
Never use the welding mask
without the protective screen.
Regularly replace the protec-
tive screen to ensure good
visibility and fatigue-proof
work.
z Environment with
increased electrical
hazard
When welding in environments
with increased electrical hazard,
the following safety instructions
must be observed. Environments
with increased electrical hazard
may exist, for example:
In workplaces where the
space for movement is
restricted, such that the welder
is working in a forced posture
(e.g.: kneeling, sitting, lying)
and is touching electrically
conductive parts;
In workplaces which are
restricted completely or in
part in terms of electrical
conductivity and where there is
a high risk through avoidable
or accidental touching by the
welder;
In wet, humid or hot work-
places where the air humidity
or weld significantly reduces
the resistance of human skin
and the insulating properties
or effect of protective equip-
ment.
Even a metal conductor or
scaffolding can create an envi-
ronment with increased electrical
hazard.
In this type of environment,
you must use insulated surfaces
and intermediate layers, and in
addition you must wear gauntlet
gloves and
Headwear made of leather or
other insulating materials, in
order to insulate the body from
earth. The welding power source
must be located outside the work-
ing area or electrically conductive
surfaces and out of the welder's
reach.
