zProtective clothing
At work, the welder must protect his/her whole body by using
appropriate clothing and face protection against radiations and
burns. The following steps must be observed:
–Wear protective clothing prior to welding work
–Wear gloves.
–Open windows or use fans to guarantee air supply.
–Wear safety goggles and face mask.
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 flying
sparks and burns. When specific 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 flames!” in the work area. The work-
places 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 fixed workplaces should
neither be bright coloured or shiny. Windows up to head height
must be protected to prevent rays from penetrating or reflecting
through them, e.g. by using suitable paint.
zEMC Device Classification
According to the standard IEC 60974-10, this is a welder in
electromagnetic compatibility 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 residential 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, difficulties might arise in ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments.
Even if the device complies with the emission limit values in accord-
ance with the standard, such devices can still cause electromagnetic
interference in sensitive systems and devices. The user is responsible for
