Working on and servicing welding equipment is always potentially
hazardous. Personnel not familiar with such equipment and machinery
could hurt themselves or others. For this reason, operators must be told
of the potential hazards outlined below and of the safety measures that
are necessary to avoid possible injury. Irrespective of this, anyone
operating welding equipment must familiarise himself with the safety

your work, such as your clothing, your working area, the welding
torch, the electrode holder and the welding equipment, are
always dry. Never work in a wet environment.

Take care to ensure that there is good insulation by only wearing
dry gloves and boots with rubber soles, and by standing on a dry,
insulated base, especially if you have to stand on metal during
your work or are working in areas with significant electrical
hazards.
 Avoid using any welding cables that are worn or damaged.
Ensure that welding cables are not overloaded. Use only
equipment that has no faults.

Switch off the welding equipment whenever work is interrupted
for any length of time.

Do not wind the welding cable around any part of the housing
and do not let it lie wound up in coils.
