1.2 sAFetY instruCtiOns
Kemppi welding devices conform to international safety standards. Safety is an important
issue in equipment design and manufacturing. Therefore, Kemppi welding solutions are
unparalleled in safety. There are, however, always certain hazards involved in using welding
equipment. Therefore, to ensure your personal safety and the safety of your working
environment, carefully read the safety instructions below and respect them.
use of personal protective equipment
• The arc and its reflecting radiation damage unprotected eyes. Shield your eyes and
face appropriately before you start welding or observe welding. Also note the different
requirements for the darkness of the screen in the mask as the welding current changes.
• The arc radiation and spatters burn unprotected skin. Always wear protective gloves,
clothing and footwear when welding.
• Always wear hearing protection if the ambient noise level exceeds the allowable limit
(e.g., 85 dB).
general operating safety
• Exercise caution when handling parts heated in welding. For example, the tip of the
welding torch, the end of the welding rod and the work piece will heat during gouging to
a burning temperature.
• Never wear the device on the shoulder during welding and never suspend it by the
carrying strap during welding.
• Do not expose the machine to high temperatures, as this may cause damage to the
machine.
• Keep the torch cable and earthing cable as close to each other as possible throughout
their length. Straighten any loops in the cables. This minimises your exposure to harmful
magnetic fields, which may interfere with a pacemaker, for example.
• Do not wrap the cables around the body.
• In environments classified as dangerous, only use S-marked welding devices with a safe
idle voltage level. These work environments include, for example, humid, hot or small
spaces where the user may be directly exposed to the surrounding conductive pieces.
spatter and fire safety
• Welding is always classified as hot work, so pay attention to fire safety regulations during
welding and after it.
• Remember that fire can break out from sparks even several hours after the welding work
is completed.
