Confined spaces must have a free passage allowing escape in
case of danger.
Please observe the weld area and its surroundings when
welding has finished. Fire may break out later due to
smouldering.
3.3.6. Noise
• Noise may cause permanent damage to your hearing. Dur-
ing welding the admissible noise level might be exceeded
under unfavourable conditions.
• Please make sure that the admissible maximum values
are not exceeded (Security Administrator).
• If the maximum values are exceeded, a suitable ear pro-
tection (earplugs or earmuffs) has to be used.
3.4 Electrical danger due to mains current and welding current
3.4.1. General information
An electric shock can prove fatal. Basically, every electric shock
is extremely dangerous.
• Do not touch live parts within or outside the power
source!
• During MIG/MAG welding, the welding wire, the wire coil,
the drive rollers as well as all metal parts which touch the
welding wire, are live.
• All cables must be tight, undamaged, insulated and suf-
ficiently dimensioned. The negative cable (earth cable) and
the positive cable are locked by turning to the right. Loose
plugs affect the arc and thus the welding behaviour of the
power source to a considerable extent.
• Switch the welding machine off when not in use to pre-
vent any electrical risk.
• Avoid contact with metal parts, wear dry, insulating cloth-
ing and safety shoes.
• Power sources may only be used when all covers are avail-
able and correctly installed.
