Electric shocks This appliance may only be used in accordance with the power supply requirements listed
before. It must be earthed.
Moving Do not underestimate the weight of the apparatus. Do not carry it over people or things. Do
not drop it. Do not set it brutally
Burns Wear protective or fire-proof clothing (overalls, jeans).
Use some welder gloves and a fire-proof apron.
Protect the others by installing non flammable protection wall , or prevent the others to not
look at the arc and to keep a sufficient distance
Fire risks
Suppress all flammable products from the working area. Do not works near flammable gas.
Smokes Do not inhale gas or welding smokes. If indoors ventilate the area well and/or use local
extraction ventilation equipment to remove fumes and gases.
Extraprecautions
Any welding operation :
- in environments with increased risk of electric shock,
- in confined spaces,
- in the presence of flammable or explosive materials must be evaluated in advance by an
"Expert supervisor" and must always be carried out in the presence of other people trained
to intervene in case of emergency.
Technical protection measures MUST BE taken as described in the TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION "IEC 62081".
Welding in raised positions is forbidden unless safety platforms are used.
The persons carrying pacemaker have to consult a doctor before using these machines
In TIG welding, manipulate the gas bottle carefully. Indeed, there are risks if the bottle or the bottle
RECOMMENDATION TO REDUCE ELECTRO-MAGNETIC EMISSIONS
General
The user is responsible for installing and using the arc welding equipment according to the manufacturer's
instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected, then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the arc
welding equipment to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer.
Evaluation of the welding area
Before installing arc welding equipment the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic problems in
the surrounding area
a. Other wiring, control cables, tephones and communication cables; above, below and adjacent to the
welding machine
b. Radio and television transmitters and receivers;
c. Computer and other control equipment;
d. Equipment critical for safety purposes such as safety checks of industrial equipment;
e. The health of persons in the vincity, for example persons who wear pacemakers and hearing aids;
f. Equipment used for calibration or measurements;
g. The immunity of other equipment in which the equipment is to be used. The user must ensure that other
equipment used in the same placet is compatible. This may require additional protection measures;
h. The time of day when welding or other activities are carried out
i. The size of the area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and any other
processes in the area. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the buildings.
Recommendation to reduce electro-magnetic emission
Mains power supply: the equipment must be connected to the power mains as specified in the
a.
Manufacturer's instructions. If interference occurs, additional precautions suchas filtering of the mains
supply may be required. The supply cable in the welding machine's permanent installations may have to
be screened in metal conduits or similar.The screening should be electrically continous for the entire
lengh of the cable. It should also beconnect to the welding machine with a good electrical contact
between the metal conduit and the casing.
Welding cables: The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close
b.
together, running at or close to the floor level.
