ARTIFICIAL OPTICAL RADIATION: According with the requirements in
2006/25/EC Directive and
EN 12198 Standard, the equipment is a category 2. It makes mandatory the
adoption of Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) having filter with a
protection degree up to a maximum of 15, as required by EN169 Standard.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS: Welding may produce fumes
and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. To
avoid these dangers the operator must use enough ventilation or exhaust to
keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN: Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to
protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or
observing. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to
protect you skin and that of your helpers. Protect other nearby personnel with
suitable, non-flammable screening and warn them not to watch the arc nor
expose themselves to the arc.
WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Remove fire
hazards from the welding area and have a fire extinguisher readily available.
Welding sparks and hot materials from the welding process can easily go
through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Do not weld on any
tanks, drums, containers, or material until the proper steps have been taken to
insure that no flammable or toxic vapors will be present. Never operate this
equipment when flammable gases, vapors or liquid combustibles are present.
WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN: Welding generates a large amount of
heat. Hot surfaces and materials in work area can cause serious burns. Use
gloves and pliers when touching or moving materials in the work area.
SAFETY MARK: This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding
operations carried out in an environment with increased hazard of electric
shock.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED: Use only compressed gas
cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and
properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. Always
keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to a fixed support. Do
not move or transport gas cylinders with the protection cap removed. Do not
allow the electrode, electrode holder, work clamp or any other electrically live
part to touch a gas cylinder. Gas cylinders must be located away from areas
where they may be subjected to physical damage or the welding process
including sparks and heat sources.
