SAFETY
These general safety norms cover both arc
welding machines and plasma cung machines
unless otherwise noted.
The equipment must only be used for the purpose
it was designed for. Using it in any other way
could result in damage or injury and in breach of
the safety rules.
Only suitably trained and competent persons
should use the equipment. Operators should
respect the safety of other persons.
Prevenon against electric shock
The equipment should be installed by a qualied
person and in accordance with current standards
in operaon. It is the users responsibility to ensure
that the equipment is connected to a suitable
power supply. Consult with your ulity supplier if
required
If earth grounding of the work piece is required,
ground it directly with a separate cable.
Do not use the equipment with the covers
removed.
Do not touch live electrical parts or parts which
are
electrically charged.
Turn o all equipment when not in use.
Cables (both primary supply and welding) should
be
regularly checked for damage and overheang. Do
not use worn, damaged, under sized, or poorly
jointed cables.
Ensure that you wear the correct protecve
clothing, gloves, head and eye protecon.
Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry
insulang mats or covers big enough to prevent
any physical contact with the work ground.
Never touch the electrode if you are in contact
with the work ground, or another electrode from
a dierent machine.
Do not wrap cables over your body.
Ensure that you take addional safety precauons
when you are welding in electrically hazardous
condions such as damp environments, wearing
wet clothing, and metal structures. Try to avoid
welding in cramped or restricted posions.
Ensure that the equipment is well maintained.
Repair or replace damaged or defecve parts
immediately. Carry out any regular maintenance
in accordance with the manufacturers
instrucons.
Safety against fumes and welding gases
Locate the equipment in a well-venlated
posion.
Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe
the fumes.
Ensure the welding zone is in a well-venlated
area. If this is not possible provision should be
made for suitable fume extracon.
If venlaon is poor, wear an approved respirator.
Read and understand the Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS’s) and the manufacturer’s
instrucons for metals, consumable, coangs,
cleaners, and de-greasers.
Do not weld in locaons near any de-greasing,
cleaning, or spraying operaons. Be aware that
heat and rays of the arc can react with vapours to
form highly toxic and irritang gases.
Do not weld on coated metals, unless the coang
is removed from the weld area, the area is well
venlated, and while wearing an air-supplied
respirator. The coangs on many metals can give
o toxic fumes if welded.
Prevenon against burns and radiaon
Arc rays from the welding process produce
intense, visible and invisible (ultraviolet and
infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin.
Wear an approved welding helmet ed with a
