INDIVIDUAL PROTECTIONS AND OTHERS
Arc welding can be dangerous and can cause serious and even fatal injuries.
Welding exposes the user to dangerous heat, arc rays, electromagnetic fields, noise, gas fumes, and electrical
shocks. People wearing pacemakers are advised to consult with their doctor before using this device.
To protect oneself as well as the other, ensure the following safety precautions are taken:
In order to protect you from burns and radiations, wear clothing without cuffs. These clothes
must be insulated, dry, fireproof and in good condition, and cover the whole body.
Wear protective gloves which guarantee electrical and thermal insulation.
Use sufficient welding protective gear for the whole body: hood, gloves, jacket, trousers...
(varies depending on the application/operation). Protect the eyes during cleaning operations.
Do not operate whilst wearing contact lenses.
It may be necessary to install fireproof welding curtains to protect the area against arc rays,
weld spatters and sparks.
Inform the people around the working area to never look at the arc nor the molten metal, and
to wear protective clothes.
Ensure ear protection is worn by the operator if the work exceeds the authorised noise limit
(the same applies to any person in the welding area).
