• Shielding gases such as argon are denser than air and can be inhaled instead of air if
used in confined spaces. This is dangerous for your health as well.
• Do not perform welding operations in the presence of chlorinated hydrocarbon
vapors released during lubrication or painting operations.
• Use a suitable protective mask and glass filter (4 to 13 according to EN 379) suitable
for that to protect your eyes and face.
Arc Light May
• Protect other naked parts of your body (arms, neck, ears, etc.) with suitable

protective clothing from these rays.
Eyes and Skin
• Enclose your work area with flame-resistant folding screens and hang warning signs
at eye level so that people around you will not sustain injuries from arc rays and hot
metals.
• This machine is not used for heating of icebound pipes. This operation performed
with the welding machine causes explosion, fire or damage to your installation.
• Performing works such as welding, surface grinding, and brushing cause sparks and
metal particles to splatter. Wear approved protective work goggles which have edge
guards under the welding masks to prevent sustaining possible injuries
Cause Damage
• Do not touch the hot parts with bare hands.
• Wait until the time required for the machine to cool down before working on its
parts.
Severe Burns
• If you need to hold hot parts, use suitable tools, welding gloves with high-level
thermal insulation and fire-resistant clothes.
• The noise generated by some equipment and operations may damage your hearing
ability.
• Wear approved personal ear protective equipment if the noise level is high.
• Do not point the torch towards any part of the body, other persons, or any metal
while unwrapping the welding wire.
• When welding wire is run manually from the roller especially in thin diameters the
Cause Injuries
wire can slip out of your hand, like a spring or can cause damage to you or other
people around, therefore you must protect your eyes and face while working on this.
• Never perform welding work in places near flammable materials. There may be fire
or explosions.
• Before starting the welding work, remove these materials form the environment or
cover them with protective covers to prevent combustions and flaring.
Explosion
• National and international special rules apply in these areas.
• Do not apply welding or cutting operations into completely closed tanks or pipes.
• Before welding to tanks and closed containers, open them, completely empty them,
and clean them. Pay the greatest attention possible to the welding operations you
will perform in such places.
• Do not weld in tanks and pipes which might have previously contained substances
that may cause explosions, fires or other reactions.
• Welding equipment heats up. For this reason, do not place it on surfaces that could
easily burn or be damaged !
• Welding sparks can cause fire. For this reason, keep materials such as fire
extinguishers tubes, water, and sand in easily accessible places.
• Use holding valves, gas regulators and valves on flammable, explosive and
compressed gas circuits. Make sure that they are periodically inspected and pay
attention that they run reliably.
