using appropriate clothing and
face protection against radia-
tions and burns. The following
steps must be observed:
– Wear protective clothing
prior to welding work.
– Wear gloves.
– Open windows to guarantee
air supply.
– Wear protective goggles.
Gauntlet gloves made of a
suitable material (leather) must
be worn on both hands. They
must be in perfect condition.
A suitable apron must be worn
to protect clothing from fl ying
sparks and burns. When specifi c
work, e.g. overhead welding, is
required, a protective suit must
be worn and, if necessary, even
head protection.
Protection against rays
and burns
Warn of the danger to the eyes
by hanging up a sign saying
“Caution! Do not look into
fl ames!”. The workplaces must
be shielded so that the persons
in the vicinity are protected.
Unauthorised persons must be
kept away from welding work.
The walls in the immediate
vicinity of fi xed workplaces
should neither be bright
coloured or shiny. Windows
up to head height must be
protected to prevent rays
from penetrating or refl ecting
through them, e.g. by using
suitable paint.
EMC Device
Classifi cation
According to the standard
IEC 60974-10, this is a welding
device in electromagnetic compat-
ibility Class A. Class A devices
are devices that are suitable for
use in all other areas except living
areas and areas that are directly
connected to a low-voltage supply
mains that (also) supplies residen-
tial buildings. Class A devices
must adhere to the Class A limit
values.
WARNING NOTICE: Class A
devices are intended for use in
an industrial environment. Due to
the power-related as well as the
radiated interference variables,
diffi culties might arise in ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in
other environments.
