SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Safety against fumes and welding gases
The HSE have identified welders as being an `at risk’ group for occupational diseases arising from exposure to dusts, gases, vapours and welding fumes. The main identified health effects are pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung and kidney cancer, metal fume fever (MFF) and lung function changes. During welding and hot cutting `hot work’ operations, fumes are produced which are collectively known as welding fume. Depending upon the type of welding process being performed, the resultant fume generated is a complex and highly variable mixture of gases and particulates. Regardless of the length of welding being carried out, all welding fume, including mild steel welding requires suitable engineering controls to be in place which is usually Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) extraction to reduce the exposure to welding fume indoors and where LEV does not adequately control exposure it should also be enhanced by using suitable respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to assist with protecting against residual fume. When welding outdoors appropriate RPE should be used.
Prior to undertaking any welding tasks an appropriate risk
assessment should be carried out to ensure expected control
measures are in place.
An example of personal fume protection
Locate the equipment in a well-ventilated position and keep your head out of the welding fume. Do not breathe in the welding fume.
Ensure the welding zone is well-ventilated and provision should be made for suitable local fume
extraction system to be in place.
If ventilation is poor, wear an approved airfed welding helmet or respirator.
Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) and the manufacturer’s instructions for metals, consumable, coatings, cleaners and de-greasers.
Do not weld in locations near any de-greasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
Be aware that heat and rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
For further information please refer to the HSE website www.hse.gov.uk for related documentation.
Precautions against fire and explosion
Avoid causing fires due to sparks and hot waste or molten metal. Ensure that appropriate fire safety devices are available near the welding and cutting area. Remove all flammable and combustible materials from the welding, cutting and surrounding areas. Do not weld or cut fuel and lubricant containers, even if empty. These must be carefully cleaned before they can be welded or cut. Always allow the welded or cut material to cool before touching it or placing it in contact with combustible or flammable material. Do not work in atmospheres with high concentrations of combustible fumes, flammable gases and dust. Always check the work area half an hour after cutting to make sure that no fires have begun. Take care to avoid accidental contact of the torch electrode to metal objects, as this could cause arcs, explosion, overheating or fire.
Know and understand your fire extinguishers

SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The working environment Ensure the machine is mounted in a safe and stable position allowing for cooling air circulation. Do not operate equipment in an environment outside the laid down operating parameters. The welding power source is not suitable for use in rain or snow.
Always store the machine in a clean, dry space. Ensure the equipment is kept clean from dust build up. Always use the machine in an upright position.
Protection from moving parts When the machine is in operation keep away from moving parts such as motors and fans. Moving parts, such as the fan, may cut fingers and hands and snag garments. Protections and coverings may be removed for maintenance and managed only by qualified personnel after first disconnecting the power supply cable.
Replace the coverings and protections and close all doors when the intervention is finished and before starting the equipment. Take care to avoid getting fingers trapped when loading and feeding wire during set up and operation. When feeding wire be careful to avoid pointing it at other people or towards your body. Always ensure machine covers and protective devices are in operation.
Risks due to magnetic fields The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect the operation of pacemakers or electronically controlled medical equipment. Wearers of vital electronic equipment should consult their physician before beginning any arc welding, cutting, gouging or spot welding operations. Do not go near welding equipment with any sensitive electronic equipment as the magnetic
fields may cause damage. Keep the torch cable and work return cable as close to each other as possible throughout their length. This can help minimise your exposure to harmful magnetic fields. Do not wrap the cables around the body.
Handling of compressed gas cylinders and regulators Mishandling gas cylinders can lead to rupture and the release of high pressure gas. Always check the gas cylinder is the correct type for the welding to be carried out. Always store and use cylinders in an upright and secure position. All cylinders and pressure regulators used in welding operations should be handled with care. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a
cylinder. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve. Always secure the cylinder safely and never move with regulator and hoses connected. Use a suitable trolley for moving cylinders. Regularly check all connections and joints for leaks. Full and empty cylinders should be stored separately. Never deface or alter any cylinder

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Fire awareness The cutting and welding process can cause serious risks of fire or explosion. Cutting or welding sealed containers, tanks, drums or pipes can cause explosions. Sparks from the welding or cutting process can cause fires and burns. Check and risk assess the area is safe before doing any cutting or welding. Ventilate all flammable or explosive vapour from the workplace.
Remove any and all flammable materials away from the working area. If necessary, cover flammable materials or containers with approved covers (following manufacturers instructions) if unable to remove from the immediate area. Do not cut or weld where the atmosphere may contain flammable dust, gas or liquid vapour. Always have the appropriate fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.
Hot parts Always be aware that material being cut or welded will get very hot and hold that heat for a considerably long time which will cause severe burns if the appropriate PPE is not worn. Do not touch hot material or parts with bare hands. Always allow for a cooling down period before working on material recently cut or welded. Use the appropriate insulated welding gloves and clothing to handle hot parts to prevent burns.
Noise awareness The cutting and welding process can generate noise that can cause permanent damage to your hearing. Noise from cutting and welding equipment can damage hearing. Always protect your ears from noise and wear approved and appropriate ear protection if
noise levels are high. Consult with your local specialist if you are unsure how to test for noise levels.
RF Declaration Equipment that complies with directive 2014/30/EU concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and the technical requirements of EN60974-10 is designed for use in industrial buildings and not for domestic use where electricity is provided via the low voltage public distribution
system. Difficulties may arise in assuring class A electromagnetic compatibility for systems installed in domestic locations due to conducted and radiated emissions. In the case of electromagnetic problems, it is the responsibility of the user to resolve the situation. It may be necessary to shield the equipment and fit suitable filters on the mains supply.
LF Declaration Consult the data plate on the equipment for the power supply requirements. Due to the elevated absorbance of the primary current from the power supply network, high power systems affect the quality of power provided by the network. Consequently, connection
restrictions or maximum impedance requirements permitted by the network at the public network connection point must be applied to these systems. In this case, the installer or the user is responsible for ensuring the equipment can be connected, consulting the electricity provider if necessary.
