1.2 Arc Welding Damage
 The following signals and word explanations are to some damages for your body or others
happening on the welding operation. While seeing these, please remind of yourself or others to
be dangerous.
 Only ones who are trained professionally can install, debug, operate, maintain and repair the
equipment.
 During the operation, non-concerned people should be lift, especially for children.
 After shut off the machine power, please maintain and examine the equipment according to §5
because of the DC voltage existing in the electrolytic capacitors.
1.3 The knowledge of Electric and Magnetic Fields
 Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields
 (EMF). The discussion on the effect of EMF is ongoing all the world. Up to now, no material
evidences show that EMF may have effects on health. However, the research on damage of
EMF is still ongoing. Before any conclusion, we should minimize exposure to EMF as few as
possible.
 In order to minimize EMF, we should use the following procedures:
o Route the electrode and work cables together – Secure them with tape when possible.
o All cables should be put away and far from the operator.
o Never coil the power cable around your body.
o Make sure welding machine and power cable to be far away from the operator as far as
possible according to the actual circumstance.
o Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.
 The people with heart-pacemaker should be away from the welding area.
