• Do not use the machine to thaw pipes, do not weld in sealed containers.
• Always keep a charged fire extinguisher and a trained person to use it close to the workplace.
Risk generated by welding fumes
Breathing the fumes, gases and particles generated by welding can cause serious problems for your health, in the short and
long term.
• Keep your head away from fumes.
• Ensure adequate ventilation, use an appropriate air extraction system.
• Make sure you have an adequate amount of fresh air at your disposal.
• Use the machine in open areas.
Risk generated by the welding arc
The welding arc produces radiation that can damage the eyes and burn the skin. In addition to visible light and heat, the
welding arc emits UV radiation that is invisible to the human eye. In unprotected eyes UV radiation can cause damage to
the retina and even detachment. UV radiation can cause burns to the skin without protection. The electric arc can give off
hot metal particles that can cause injury. In addition to this, the welding process produces sparks, spatter, and heating in
the various materials involved that can cause burns.
• Always wear a face shield. Warning: The product is delivered without a face shield. Purchase a certified face mask and
quality certified protective glass. The level of protection must be at least 9-10. You should also have a tool to remove the
slag from the weld bead and a welding wire brush.
• Make sure the face shield protects the entire face.
• Warn people around the welding machine of the hazards of the arc for the eye. If possible, use warning signs indicating
not to look directly at the welding arc. Use barriers to keep non-welding work related personnel at least 15 meters from the
welding work site.
• Walls in the immediate area or places to be welded should not be light colored or with glossy finishes.
• Windows must be protected from radiation by covering them at least up to head height.
• Wear welding gloves that offer protection to the arms when the operator is welding.
• Wear boots that protect the foot from the sparks produced by the process.
• Do not wear synthetic clothing while welding.
• Always keep in mind that after welding the work surface and the excess electrode are hot.
• Wait until the applied weld cools down to remove the slag or perform other work on it, likewise, remove the welding rod
stub from the electrode holder by pressing towards the lever of the electrode holder.
• As a welder, wear appropriate clothing to protect your physical integrity: leather accessories for hands and arms, leather
apron and leather boots. If you weld over your head wear protection.
Risk induced by electromagnetic fields
The circulation of current in the welding process generates electromagnetic fields that can affect devices such as pacemakers
or other medical implants.
• Workers with medical implants must not use the product.
• Never wrap the welding cables around the body.
• Keep the welding cables close to each other and parallel to decrease the intensity of the generated magnetic field.
