• Do not use damaged, under sized, or badly joined cables.
• Do not drape cables over your body.
• We recommend (RCD) safety switch is used with this equipment to detect any leakage of current to
earth.
Fumes and gases are dangerous. Smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting can be harmful
to people’s health. Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be
hazardous to your health. Do not breathe the smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting,
keep your head out of the fumes
• Keep the working area well ventilated, use fume extraction or ventilation to remove welding/cutting
fumes and gases.
• In confined or heavy fume environments always wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
• Welding/cutting fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death.
Be sure the breathing air is safe.
• Do not weld/cut in locations near de-greasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of
the arc can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
• Materials such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, containing elements that can give off
toxic fumes when welded/cut. Do not weld/cut these materials unless the area is very well ventilated,
and or wearing an air supplied respirator.
Arc rays: harmful to people’s eyes and skin. Arc rays from the welding/cutting process produce
intense visible and invisible ultraviolet
and infrared rays that can burn eyes and skin.Always wear a welding helmet with correct shade of
filter lens and suitable protective clothing including welding gloves whilst the welding/cutting
operation is performed.
• Measures should be taken to protect people in or near the surrounding working area. Use
protective screens or barriers to protect
others from flash,glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
Fire hazard. Welding/cutting on closed containers, such as tanks,drums, or pipes, can cause them to
explode. Flying sparks from the
welding/cutting arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact
of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the
area is safe before doing any welding/cutting.
• The welding/cutting sparks & spatter may cause fire, therefore remove any flammable materials
well away from the working area. Cover flammable materials and containers with approved covers if
