Safety specifications for MIG/MAG welding machines
3.3.2. High frequency electromagnetic compatibility
EMC machine classification in accordance with standard EN 60974-10 (see
type plate or the specification of technical data).
Class B machines meet the EMC requirements in industrial and residential
areas, including residential areas connected to the public low voltage supply
network.
Class A machines are not intended for use in residential areas where electric
energy is drawn from the public low voltage supply network. It is difficult
to guarantee electromagnetic compatibility for class A machines due to
conducted emissions and radiated interferences in these areas.
3.3.3. Radiation
Ultraviolet and infrared radiation are released during welding.
• Protect skin and particularly the eyes. Keep eye drops and skin cream with
a high sun protection factor available.
• Always use safety glasses according to DIN EN 166 and DIN EN 379 in your
welder’s protective shield or helmet.
• Protect other persons in the vicinity of the welding area from UV rays and
spatter by suitable, non-flammable partition walls.
• Always wear safety glasses with side protection when you are in an area
where welding takes place or where slag is removed.
