1.GENERALSAFETYCONSIDERATIONSFORARCWELDING
The operator should be properly trained to use the welding machine safely
andshouldbeinformedabouttherisksrelatedtoarcweldingprocedures,the
associatedprotectionmeasuresandemergencyprocedures.
(Pleaserefertotheapplicablestandard”EN60974-9:Arcweldingequipment.
Part9:InstallationandUse).
- Avoiddirectcontactwiththeweldingcircuit:theno-loadvoltagesuppliedby
theweldingmachinecanbedangerousundercertaincircumstances.
- When the welding cables are being connected or checks and repairs are
carried out the welding machine should be switched off and disconnected
fromthepowersupplyoutlet.
- Switchofftheweldingmachineanddisconnectitfromthepowersupplyoutlet
beforereplacingconsumabletorchparts.
- Maketheelectricalconnectionsandinstallationaccordingtothesafetyrules
andlegislationinforce.
- Theweldingmachineshouldbeconnectedonlyandexclusivelytoapower
sourcewiththeneutralleadconnectedtoearth.
- Make sure that the power supply plug is correctly connected to the earth
protectionoutlet.
- Donotusetheweldingmachineindamporwetplacesanddonotweldinthe

- Donotusecableswithworninsulationorlooseconnections.
- Donotweldoncontainersorpipingthatcontainsorhascontainedammable

- Donotoperateonmaterialscleanedwithchlorinatedsolventsornearsuch
substances.
- Donotweldoncontainersunderpressure.
- Removeallammablematerials(e.g.wood,paper,ragsetc.)fromtheworking
area.
- Provideadequateventilationorfacilitiesfortheremovalofweldingfumesnear

theweldingfumes,whichwilldependontheircomposition,concentrationand
thelengthofexposureitself.
- Keep the gas bottle (if used) away from heat sources, including direct
sunlight.
- Useelectricinsulationthatissuitableforthetorch,theworkpiece andany
metalpartsthatmaybeplacedonthegroundandnearby(accessible).

- Do not leave objects in ferromagnetic material in proximity of the welding
circuit.
