□Asegúrese de leer el manual del usuario y de estar bien
preparado antes de soldar.
□Lea y comprenda las hojas de datos de seguridad (SDS) del
fabricante y las hojas de datos de seguridad de los
materiales (MSDS) si están disponibles.
SEGURIDAD ELÉCTRICA
ADVERTENCIA: El uso inadecuado de las soldadoras
puede provocar una descarga eléctrica. La descarga
eléctrica puede matar. Para reducir los riesgos, el operador
debe seguir, comprender y leer las instrucciones de
seguridad. Las personas que se encuentren en la zona
también deben seguir las instrucciones de seguridad bajo la
dirección del operador.
□No exponga la soldadora a la lluvia ni entre en contacto con
una superficie húmeda. La entrada de agua en la máquina
aumenta el riesgo de descarga eléctrica.
□No toque ni entre en contacto con ninguna parte del circuito
de corriente de la máquina de soldar; como pinzas de tierra,
electrodos, alambres de soldadura, pistolas MIG/TIG, piezas
de trabajo, cualquier pieza metálica o de material conductor
que este en contacto con el portaelectrodos o las piezas de
trabajo.
□No haga contacto con ninguna superficie metálica
conectada a tierra, como tuberías metálicas refrigeradores y
radiadores. Hay un mayor riesgo de descarga eléctrica
cuando su cuerpo está conectado a tierra.
□Asegurarse de que la energía está desconectada antes de
configurar cualquier antorcha TIG/pistola
MIG/portaelectrodos, ajuste y servicios.
□No abuse de los cables. Nunca se debe transportar o
desenchufar la soldadora tirando del cable. Mantenga los
cables alejados del calor, el aceite, los bordes afilados o las
piezas móviles. Los cables dañados o enredados podrían
aumentar el riesgo de descarga eléctrica.
□Inspeccione el soldador antes de utilizarlo. No utilice la
soldadora si observa alguna pieza dañada o agrietada,
incluidos, entre otros, abrazaderas de tierra o cables
dañados o agrietados, etc. Sustituirlas antes de utilizar la
soldadora.
□Utilice un alargador (específico para uso en exteriores)
cuando opere una soldadora al aire libre.
□No apunte los sopletes/pistolas de soldar hacia las personas
cuando los sopletes/pistolas de soldar estén encendidos. No
apunte con la pistola MIG a los ojos en ninguna situación.
□No se debe soldar en zonas húmedas o cuando la soldadora
esté en contacto con agua o superficies mojadas.
□No se debe cortar cuando el cuerpo o la ropa estén mojados.

PREVENCIÓN DE INCENDIOS
ADVERTENCIA:
□Compruebe la zona antes de soldar. Asegúrese de que el
área de trabajo esté revisada y despejada de materiales
combustibles e inflamables. Se requiere una distancia
mínima de 10 metros entre el área de trabajo y los
combustibles ya que pueden volar las chispas al soldar
hasta un promedio de 10 metros de distancia. Si no se
puede cumplir el requisito de la distancia mínima de 10
metros, proteja los materiales consumibles o inflamables
con cubiertas o escudos resistentes al fuego.
□No corte sobre o cerca de materiales con revestimiento
combustible o sustancia interna combustible, como
materiales en paredes o techos, sin ningún método
aprobado para eliminar el peligro.
□No corte en áreas (como una gasolinera) donde el aire
pueda contener sustancias inflamables como polvo
combustible, gas o vapores líquidos.
□No use guantes, preparados para el cabello, zapatos y otras
prendas que contengan aceite, grasa u otras sustancias
inflamables. Utilizar ropa de protección resistente al fuego
para proteger la parte superior e inferior del cuerpo contra el
fuego y el calor. La ropa protectora incluye, entre otras
cosas, guantes de cuero, camisas pesadas de manga larga y
sin puños, pantalones pesados y sin puños, zapatos de
punta alta y casco.
□No tire escorial caliente en recipientes que contengan
materiales combustibles. Tenga cerca un extintor de
incendios y sepa cómo utilizarlo.
□Siga los requisitos de OSHA y NFPA para trabajos en caliente
y tenga un extintor cerca.
□Cuando termine de soldar, no debe abandonar el lugar sin
comprobar los indicios de un posible incendio. Los humos o
llamas que se pasan por alto tienen riesgos de causar
peligro de incendio. Compruebe y asegúrese de que las
zonas de soldadura están libres de chispas, escorial y
llamas antes de abandonar la zona a soldar.
USO Y CUIDADO
□Asegúrese de elegir el modelo de soldador correcto y el
modo de soldadura recomendado para su aplicación. Utilice
el soldador y los accesorios de acuerdo con estas
instrucciones. El funcionamiento de una soldadora en
condiciones inadecuadas podría causar problemas de
seguridad imprevisibles.
□Guardar los soldadores inactivos fuera del alcance de los
niños. No deje operar la soldadora a personas que no estén
familiarizadas con la soldadora y las instrucciones de
funcionamiento. El incumplimiento de las instrucciones de
seguridad o de las orientaciones de funcionamiento
supondrá un riesgo potencial para la seguridad.
□Sustituya inmediatamente las piezas dañadas antes de
utilizar la máquina. Muchos accidentes son causados por
soldadoras mal mantenidas.
□Lleve su soldadora a un servicio técnico calificado si
encuentra problemas.

Si no se protegen los materiales
combustibles contra las chispas al soldar, la escoria y
las salpicaduras calientes, se puede producir un
incendio e incluso una explosión. El fuego y la
explosión pueden causar lesiones, la muerte y daños
materiales. Para reducir los riesgos siga, comprenda y
lea las instrucciones de seguridad.

Información de seguridad (continuación)
PRECAUCIÓN: La energía electromagnética y de alta
frecuencia generada por el proceso de soldadura podría
dañar sus dispositivos electrónicos. Para reducir los riesgos
siga, comprenda y lea las instrucciones de seguridad.
□Siga el manual para instalar y conectar la máquina a tierra.
Asegúrese de que los equipos cercanos son compatibles con
la energía electromagnética.
□Los productos electrónicos como los ordenadores, los
equipos informáticos y los equipos de comunicación pueden
sufrir interferencias o incluso daños por la energía
electromagnética. Los usuarios con marcapasos deben
consultar con su médico antes de utilizar un soldador por
plasma porque un marcapasos puede resultar dañado por la
energía electromagnética si se expone a ella.
□La soldadora TIG y el proceso de soldadura TIG pueden
generar una alta frecuencia. La alta frecuencia puede
interferir con la navegación por radio, los servicios de
seguridad, los ordenadores y los equipos de comunicación.
□Es responsabilidad del usuario hacer que un electricista
cualificado corrija rápidamente cualquier problema de
interferencia resultante de la instalación o el funcionamiento
del soldador. El soldador debe ser inspeccionada y
mantenida regularmente. Si es necesario, proteja el área de
trabajo o traslade la soldadora.
