♦ Refer to the Victorian Occupational Health and safety (Confined Spaces) Regulations 1996 and Code of

Practice or its equivalent for other states and / or countries.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

Electric Shock can injure or kill. The welding arc process uses and produces high voltage electrical

energy. This electric energy can cause severe or fatal shock to the operator or others in the

workplace.

♦ Never touch any parts that are electrically “live” or “hot.”

♦ Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate yourself from the work piece or other parts of the welding circuit.

♦ Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts.

♦ Extra care must be taken when the workplace is moist or damp.

♦ Install and maintain equipment according with local regulations.

♦ Disconnect power supply before performing any service or repairs.

♦ Read and follow all the instructions in the Operating Manual.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION

Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag, sparks, or the welding arc.

♦ Be sure there is no combustible or flammable material in the workplace. Any material that cannot be

removed must be protected.

♦ Ventilate all flammable or explosive vapours from the workplace.

♦ Do not cut or weld on containers that may have held combustibles.

♦ Provide a fire watch when working in an area where fire hazards may exist.

♦ Hydrogen gas may be formed and trapped under aluminium workpieces when they are cut underwater or

while using a water table. DO NOT cut aluminium alloys underwater or on a water table unless the

hydrogen gas can be eliminated or dissipated. Trapped hydrogen gas that is ignited will cause an explosion.

NOISE

Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Plasma arc processes can cause noise levels to exceed safe

limits. You must protect your ears from loud noise to prevent permanent loss of hearing.

♦ To protect your hearing from loud noise, wear protective earplugs and/or earmuffs. Protect others in the

workplace.

♦ Noise levels should be measured to be sure the decibels (sound) do not exceed safe levels.

ARC RAYS

Arc Rays can injure your eyes and burn your skin. The welding arc process produces very bright

ultra violet and infra red light. These arc rays will damage your eyes and burn your skin if you are

not properly protected.

♦ To protect your eyes, always wear a welding face shield. Also always wear safety glasses with side shields,

goggles or other protective eye wear.

♦ Wear welding gloves and suitable clothing to protect your skin from the arc rays and sparks.

♦ Keep welding face shield and safety glasses in good condition. Replace lenses when cracked, chipped or

dirty.

♦ Protect others in the work area from the arc rays. Use protective booths, screens or shields.

♦ Use the shade of lens as recommended in this Operating Manual.
