Safety instructions for welding

Arc welding can damage eyes, skin and hearing. Note that further hazards can occur in connection with other welding components. For this reason, always wear the mandatory protective clothing in accordance with local laws and directives.

All metal vapors, especially lead, cadmium, copper and beryllium, are harmful. Ensure sufficient ventilation or extraction. Do not exceed the established occupational exposure limit (OEL).

To prevent phosgene gas from forming, always use clear water to rinse workpieces that have been degreased using chlorinated solvents. Do not set up degreasing baths containing chlorine near the welding station.

Adhere to the general fire protection regulations and remove flammable materials from the vicinity of the welding work area prior to starting work. Provide suitable fire extinguishing equipment in the work area.
