GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS2.
Kemppi welding equipments conform to international safety standards. Safety is an important
issue in equipment design and manufacturing. Therefore, Kemppi welding solutions are
unparalleled in safety. There are, however, always certain hazards involved in using welding
equipment. Therefore, to ensure your personal safety and the safety of your working
environment, carefully read the safety instructions below and respect them.
Use of personal protective equipment
The arc and its reecting radiation damage unprotected eyes. Shield your eyes and •
face appropriately before you start welding or observe welding. As the welding current
increases, the welding face screen lens darkness should also increase.
Arc radiation and spatters burn unprotected skin. Always wear protective gloves, •
clothing and footwear when welding.
Always wear hearing protection if the ambient noise level exceeds the allowable limit •
(e.g., 85 dB).
General operating safety
Exercise caution when handling parts heated during welding. For example, the tip of •
the welding torch or gun, and the end of the welding rod and the work piece. The
temperature of items burn unprotected skin.
Never wear any welding device on the shoulder during welding and never suspend it by •
the carrying strap during welding.
Do not expose the machine to high temperatures, as this may cause damage.•
Keep intermediate and earth return cables as close to each other as possible throughout •
their length. Straighten any loops in the cables as this limits inductive eects on welding
performance. This also minimizes your exposure to harmful magnetic elds, which may,
for example, interfere with a pacemaker.
Do not wrap the welding cables around your body.•
In environments classied as dangerous, only use S-marked welding equipments with •
a safe idle voltage level. These work environments include, for example, humid, hot or
small spaces, where the user may be directly exposed to the surrounding conductive
materials.
Do not use arc welding equipment for pipe thawing.•
Spatter and re safety
Welding is always classied as hot work, so pay particular attention to the re safety •
regulations during welding and after it.
Remember that re can break out from sparks, even several hours after the welding work •
is completed.
Protect the environment from welding spatter. Remove combustible materials, such as •
ammable liquid from the welding vicinity, and supply the welding site with adequate
re ghting equipment.
In special welding jobs, be prepared for hazards such as re or explosion when welding •
inside enclosed work spaces, such as tanks and vessels. Ensure you have authority to
work.
Never direct the sparks or cutting spray of a grinder toward the welding machine or •
ammable materials.
Beware of hot objects or spatter falling on the machine when working above. Welding in •
ammable or explosive sites is absolutely forbidden.
General electric safety
Only connect the welding machine to an earthed electric network. Note the •
recommended mains fuse size.
Do not take the welding machine inside a container, vehicle or similar work piece unless •
authorized to do so.
Do not place the welding machine on a wet surface and do not work on a wet surface. •
Do not allow the mains cable to be directly exposed to water.•
Ensure cables or welding torches are not squashed by heavy objects and that they are •
not exposed to sharp edges or a hot work piece.
