1.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure this manual is carefully read and understood by the
operator.
1.2 LOCATION
Welding processes of any kind can be dangerous not only to
the operator but to any person situated near the equipment if
safety and operating rules are not strictly observed.
These are the main precautionary measures to observe:
• Operators should protect their body by wearing closed,
non-flammable protective clothing, without pockets or turned up
trousers.
• The operators should wear a non-flammable welding
helmet designed so as to shield the neck and the face. It is
necessary to keep the protective lens always clean and to
replace it when broken or cracked. It is advisable to put a
transparent glass between the lens and the welding area.
Welding should be done in a close area that does not open into
other working areas.
• The operators should never look at the welding arc without
the correct protection for the eyes. They should always wear
safety glasses with side shields to protect from flying particles.
• The welding process must be performed on metal coatings
thoroughly cleaned from layers of rust or paint to avoid production
of harmful fumes. The parts degreased with a solvent must be
dried before welding.
• Welding should never be done on metals or coated metals
containing zinc, mercury, chronium, graphite, lead cadmium or
beryllium unless the operator and the people standing in the same
area use an air-supplied respirator.
