EMF measures

Electromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health:
-
-
-
-

Specific hazards

Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from moving parts. For example:
-
-
-
-
-
Do not reach into the rotating cogs of the wire drive or into rotating drive components.
Covers and side panels may only be opened/removed while maintenance or repair work
is being carried out.
During operation
-
-
The welding wire emerging from the welding torch poses a high risk of injury (piercing of
the hand, injuries to the face and eyes, etc.).
Therefore always keep the welding torch away from the body (devices with wire-feed
unit) and wear suitable protective goggles.
Never touch the workpiece during or after welding - risk of burns.
Slag can jump off cooling workpieces. The specified protective equipment must therefore
also be worn when reworking workpieces, and steps must be taken to ensure that other
people are also adequately protected.
Welding torches and other parts with a high operating temperature must be allowed to
cool down before handling.
Special provisions apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion - observe relevant
national and international regulations.
Power sources for work in areas with increased electric risk (e.g. near boilers) must carry
the "Safety" sign. However, the power source must not be located in such areas.
Risk of scalding from escaping coolant. Switch off cooling unit before disconnecting coo-
lant flow or return lines.
Welding power leads
- must be kept as short as possible
- must run close together (to avoid EMF problems)
- must be kept well apart from other leads
Equipotential bonding
Earthing of the workpiece
- If necessary, establish an earth connection using suitable capacitors.
Shielding, if necessary
- Shield off other nearby devices
- Shield off entire welding installation
effects on the health of others in the vicinity, e.g. wearers of pacemakers and hea-
ring aids
wearers of pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before approaching the
device or any welding that is in progress
for safety reasons, keep distances between the welding cables and the welder's
head/torso as large as possible
do not carry welding cables and hosepacks over the shoulders or wind them around
any part of the body
Fans
Cogs
Rollers
Shafts
Wirespools and welding wires
Ensure that all covers are closed and all side panels are fitted properly.
Keep all covers and side panels closed.
