2.3 Personal protective equipment
It is recommended to wear personal protective equipment when working with the
stud welding device.
Danger from missing or incorrect personal protective equipment
Stud welding may lead to danger of burns, especially due to hot welding spat-
ters. Danger of blinding may also arise due to the occurrence of strong arcs.
• Always wear suitable and closed protective clothing.
• Type and extent of the required protective equipment depend on the
respective occurrence of welding spatters and/or arcs. Both occurrences
vary, depending on the basic material, stud material, stud size and the
required welding performance.
• Please observe the following instructions for protective equipment.
Recommended personal protective equipment
Safety goggles
Welding spatters and a flash occur during the welding pro-
cess. In order to protect your eyes, wear appropriate safety
goggles with side protection and a filter protector, if neces-
sary.
Protective gloves
During the welding process, the workpieces and compo-
nents of the welding gun get hot and welding spatters
occur. Wear appropriate, incombustible, heat-resistant pro-
tective gloves.
Protective clothing
Welding spatters occur during the welding process. Wear
appropriate, incombustible and, if necessary, heat-resistant
protective clothing.
Safety footwear
Welding spatters occur during the welding process. Wear
appropriate, incombustible, heat-resistant safety footwear.
Hearing protection
Relatively loud welding noises may occur, depending on
the welding device and the welding application. In that
case, wear appropriate hearing protection.
