- removal of all flammable materials and waste from rooms and premises where work will be carried out;

- moving any flammable objects and non-flammable objects in flammable packages away to a safe distance;

- materials that cannot be removed must be secured against e.g. welding spatter by covering them with e.g. metal sheets, drywall, etc.;

- check if materials or flammable objects in surrounding rooms require protection;

- seal with non-flammable materials any openings in installation, ventilation, etc. located near the place of work;

- secure electric cables, gas or installation pipes covered with flammable insulation against welding spatter if they are within the range of work that constitutes a fire hazard;

- check that the planned work will not be carried out in rooms that were painted using flammable substances or where other flammable substances were used on the day of planned work.

SPARKS MAY CAUSE A FIRE

Sparks produced by welding can cause fires, explosions and burns on exposed skin. During welding, it is necessary to wear welding gloves and protective clothing. Remove or secure any flammable materials and substances from the place of work. Do not weld sealed containers or tanks in which flammable liquids were stored.

EN EN

Such containers or tanks must be rinsed before welding to remove flammable liquids. Do not weld in the vicinity of flammable gas, vapours or liquids. Fire equipment (blankets, dry powder extinguisher or extinguishing loam) must be placed near the workplace in an easily visible and reachable place.

A CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE

Use only approved gas cylinders and a properly working reducer. The cylinder should be transported, stored and placed in a vertical position. Protect the cylinders from heat sources, tipping over and mechanical damage. Maintain all gas installation elements: cylinder, hose, fittings, reducer in good condition.

WELDED MATERIALS CAN CAUSE BURNS

Never touch the welded components with parts of your body without protection. When touching and moving welded material, always use welding gloves and tongs.

3.3. PREPARATION OF WELDING WORK SITE

WELDING OPERATIONS MAY CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION!

- Strictly follow the occupational health and safety regulations applicable to welding operations and make sure to provide appropriate fire extinguishers at the welding work site.

- Never carry out welding operations in flammable places that pose the risk of material ignition.

- It is prohibited to weld in the presence of an explosive mixture of combustible gases, vapours, mists or dust with air.

- Remove all flammable materials within 12 meters from the welding operations site and if removal is not possible, cover flammable materials with fire retardant covering.

- Use safety measures against sparks and glowing metal particles.

- Make sure that sparks or hot metal splinters do not penetrate through the slots or openings in the coverings, shields or protective screens.

- Do not weld tanks or barrels that contain or have contained flammable substances. Do not weld in the vicinity of such containers and barrels.

- Do not weld pressure vessels, pipes of pressurised installations or pressure trays.

• Always ensure adequate ventilation.

- It is recommended to take a stable position prior to welding.

3.4. PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT

ELECTRIC ARC RADIATION CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO EYES AND SKIN!

- When welding, wear clean, oil stain free protective clothing made of non-flammable and nonconductive materials (leather, thick cotton), leather gloves, high boots and protective hood.

- Before welding remove all flammable or explosive items, such as propane butane lighters or matches

- Use facial protection (helmet or shield) and eye protection, with a filter featuring a shade level matching the sight of the welder and the welding current. The safety standards suggest colouring No. 9 (minimum No. 8) for each current below 300 A. A lower shield colouring can be used if the arc is covered by the workpiece.

• Always use approved safety glasses with side protection under the helmet or any other cover.

- Use guards for the welding operation sites in order to protect other people from the blinding light radiation or projections.

• Always wear earplugs or another hearing protection to protect against excessive noise and to avoid spatter entering the ears.

• Bystanders should be warned to not look at the arc.

3.5. PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN BE LETHAL!

1. ERROR INDICATOR = The indicator lights in the following two situations: a) if the machine has malfunctioned and cannot be operated; b) If the cutting device has exceeded the standard working time the protection mode is initiated and the machine will stop functioning. This means that the machine is now being cooled in order to be able to restore temperature control again after the device has overheated. Therefore the machine is stopped. During this process, the red warning light on the front panel lights up. In this case it is not necessary to remove the power plug from the socket. The ventilation system may be left on in order to enhance the cooling of the machine. When the red light goes dark, this means that the temperature is now down to the normal level and the unit can be put back into operation.
