1 Important Safety Precautions
Life-threatening danger for wearers of active implanted cardiac
devices
Never operate the stud welding machine if you wear a heart pace-
maker or implanted debrillator.
In this case, never remain in the vicinity of the stud welding machine
during welding.
Never operate the stud welding machine if persons with heart pace-
makers or implanted debrillators are in the vicinity.
Strong electromagnetic elds are produced in the vicinity of the stud
welding machine during welding. These elds could impact the func-
tion of heart pacemakers or implanted debrillators.
Danger from fumes and airborne particulates
Switch on the welding fume extractor at the place of work.
Ensure that the room is well ventilated.
Never weld in rooms with a ceiling height of less than 3 m.
Observe furthermore your working instructions and the accident
prevention regulations.
This will help to avoid health damage due to fumes and airborne parti-
culates.

Glowing hot weld spatter and liquid splashes, ashes of light and a
loud bang > 90 dB (A) must be anticipated during stud welding.
Inform colleagues working in the immediate vicinity accordingly

Ensure that an approved re extinguisher is available at the work-
place.
