SAFETY AND INSTALLATION WELDSKILL 250, 350
3.05 Environment
These units are designed for use in environments with increased hazard of electric shock.
A. Examples of environments with increased hazard of electric shock are:
1. In locations in which freedom of movement is restricted, so that the operator is forced to perform the work
in a cramped (kneeling, sitting or lying) position with physical contact with conductive parts.
2. In locations which are fully or partially limited by conductive elements, and in which there is a high risk of
unavoidable or accidental contact by the operator.
3. In wet or damp hot locations where humidity or perspiration considerable reduces the skin resistance of
the human body and the insulation properties of accessories.
B. Environments with increased hazard of electric shock do not include places where electrically conductive parts
in the near vicinity of the operator, which can cause increased hazard, have been insulated.
