1.3 general saFetY instruCtiOns
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 reflecting 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 effects on welding
performance. This also minimizes your exposure to harmful magnetic fields, which may,
for example, interfere with a pacemaker.
• Do not wrap the welding cables around your body.
• In environments classified 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.
