Magnetic fields generated by the high amperage can cause ferromagnetic parts such as
spatter accumulations to be ejected from the cleaning opening. To prevent injury, never
look into in the cleaning opening while the device is switched on; protective goggles with
side protection must be worn at all times.
Anyone working with the device exposes themselves to numerous risks e.g.:
- flying sparks and hot pieces of metal
- Arc radiation, which can damage eyes and skin
- Risk of electrocution from mains current and welding current
- Greater noise pollution
- Harmful welding fumes and gases
Suitable protective clothing must be worn when working with the device. The protective
clothing must have the following properties:
- Flame-resistant
- Insulating and dry
- Covers the whole body, is undamaged and in good condition
- Safety helmet
- Trousers with no turn-ups
Protective clothing refers to a variety of different items. Operators should:
- Protect eyes and face from UV rays, heat and sparks using a protective visor and reg-
ulation filter
- Wear regulation protective goggles with side protection behind the protective visor
- Wear stout footwear that provides insulation even in wet conditions
- Protect the hands with suitable gloves (electrically insulated and providing protection
against heat)
- Wear ear protection to reduce the harmful effects of noise and to prevent injury
Keep all persons, especially children, out of the working area while any devices are in op-
eration or welding is in progress. If, however, there are people in the vicinity:
- make them aware of all the dangers (dazzling by arc, injury from flying sparks, inhala-
tion of harmful welding fumes, noise, possible danger from mains or welding current,
possible danger from electromagnetic fields, possible danger from the magnetic field
around the cleaning opening, mechanically-powered parts, compressed air/parting
agent mixture ejected from the cleaning opening, flying shavings and similar matter,
etc.),
- Provide suitable protective equipment
- Alternatively, erect suitable safety screens/curtains.
Risks from mains
current and oper-
ating current
An electric shock is potentially life threatening and can be fatal.
Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately dimen-
sioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimensioned cables and
leads must be replaced immediately.
Do not sling cables or leads around the body or parts of the body.
Only switch on the device when all output connections have been established correctly.
The device must only be operated on a mains supply with a ground conductor and a socket
with a ground conductor contact.
If the device is operated on a mains supply without a ground conductor, this will be deemed
as gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from
such usage.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician to ensure the
ground conductor is functioning properly.
