2.4 Classification of the warnings
The warnings used in the operating instructions are divided into four different levels and shown prior to potentially dangerous
work steps. Arranged in descending order of importance, they have the following meanings:
2.5 Specific safety instructions
DANGER
Describes an imminent threatening danger. If not avoided, this will result in fatal or extremely critical injuries.
WARNING
Describes a potentially dangerous situation. If not avoided, this may result in serious injuries.
CAUTION
Describes a potentially harmful situation. If not avoided, this may result in slight or minor injuries.
NOTICE
Describes the risk of impairing work results or potential material damage to the equipment.
DANGER
Danger of explosion due to use of welding spray
During operation, please observe the following:
• Observe the hazard warnings and safety instructions in the Safety Data Sheet for the welding spray to be used.
• Switch off the fume extraction system before spraying the workpieces with welding spray.
• Do not allow the spray mist to be drawn into the fume extraction system by suction. In a hot system, this may lead to the
formation of flammable/explosive vapor-air mixtures.
WARNING
Health risk caused by harmful dust
Observe the following before and during operation:
• The fume extraction system contains harmful dust as of the first use.
• The system may be emptied and serviced only by authorized personnel (in Germany, see TRBS 1203) wearing the
respective protective equipment.
