GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Remove the plug from the socket

and wait 5 minutes to allow the

capacitors to discharge before

carrying out servicing or

maintenance.

• Do not touch live electrical parts.

• Never use electrode holders or

cables which are damaged.

• Keep working environment,

equipment, cables and clothing

free from grease, oil, moisture and

dirt.

• Ensure welding machine has been

correctly earthed.

• The operator must be insulated

from the floor and work bench

using a dry insulation mat.

• Always ensure a second person is

present in case of accident.

• Never change electrodes with

bare hands or damp gloves.

• Keep welding cables away from

power cables.

• Regularly inspect the condition of

the cables for signs of damage.

• Remove plug from the mains

socket when not in use, do not

leave the machine unattended.

• Ensure earth clamp is secured to

bare metal adjacent to weld

seam, and when not in use is

insulated for safety. - Keep all

equipment well maintained.

• The operator shall prevent gas

cylinders in the vicinity of the work

piece from becoming part of the

welding circuit.

FUMES & GASES

• The welding process generates

hazardous fumes as a by-product.

Inhalation of these fumes is

hazardous to health.

• Keep your head away from the

weld to avoid breathing the fumes.

• If welding in confined spaces

ensure adequate ventilation and

use a fume extractor.

• By-products of welding can react

to create a toxic/explosive

environment.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION

Welding can cause fire and

explosions. Precautions should be

taken to prevent these hazards.

• Before starting work ensure the

area is clear of flammable

materials.

• Move any combustible materials to

a safe distance, especially

substances likely to generate a

dangerous vapour.

WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRICAL TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY

WARNING: READ ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO

OPERATE THIS PRODUCT AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.

• The welding arc can cause serious

burns. Avoid contact with skin.

• Sparks and molten metal are

ejected during welding. Take

precautions to prevent fires.

• Sparks and molten metal can pass

through gaps. Be aware that fire

can start out of sight.

• Do not weld pressurised containers.

or containers containing

flammable vapours e.g. fuel tanks.

• Always have appropriate fire

fighting equipment to hand

suitable for use in electrical

environments.

• Avoid carrying any fuels with you

e.g. cigarette lighters or matches.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

• The body should be protected by

suitable clothing.

• The use of neck protection may be

necessary against reflected

radiation.

• Arc machines generate a

magnetic field which is detrimental

to pacemakers. Consult your

doctor before going near active

welding equipment/operations.

• The UV and IR radiation generated

by welding is highly damaging to

the eyes, causing burns. This can

also affect the skin.

• Always use a suitable welding

shield equipped with appropriate

protective filters.

• Where there are pedestrians and

traffic ensure a protective screen is

used to avoid accidental arc glare.

• Do not weld in the vicinity of

children or animals and ensure no-

one is looking before striking an

arc.

• Wear hearing protection if

required.

• Allow the weld time to cool. Hot

metal should never be handled

without gloves.

• Take care when adjusting or

maintaining the torch, that it has

had time to cool sufficiently and

the welder is disconnected from

the mains supply.

• First aid facilities and a qualified first

aid person should be available

unless medical facilities are close

by, for immediate treatment of

flash burns of the eyes and skin

burns.

• A hard hat should be worn when

others are working overhead.

• Flammable hair sprays/gels should

not be used by persons intending

to weld or cut.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

• Wear gauntlet gloves designed for

use in welding,

• Wear an apron, and protective

shoes.

• Wear cuffless trousers to avoid

entry of sparks and slag.

• Avoid oily greasy clothing.

• Protective head and shoulder

coverings should be worn when

welding overhead.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

• Wear a helmet or safety goggles or

glasses with side shields

underneath, appropriate filter

lenses or plates (protected by clear

glass). This is a MUST for welding

(and chipping) to protect the eyes

from radiant energy and spatter.

Replace cover glass when broken,

pitted, or spattered.

NOTE: ALL protective wear inc. masks

& head shields MUST comply with PPE

Directive 89/686/EEC

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

FOR ARC WELDERS

• NEVER attempt to remove any of

the panels unless the machine is

disconnected from the power

supply.

• NEVER use the machine with any of

the panels removed.

• NEVER attempt any electrical or

mechanical repair unless your are

a qualified technician. If you have

a problem with the machine

contact your local CLARKE dealer.

• NEVER use or store in a wet/damp

environment. DO NOT EXPOSE TO

RAIN.

• NEVER allow children or animals in

the vicinity of a welding operation.

• ALWAYS remove all flammable

materials from the welding area.

• ALWAYS ensure that there is full free

air circulating around the outer

casing of the machine, and that

the louvres are unobstructed.

• Welding arc can seriously damage

your eyes. Both the operator and

any spectators should always use a

proper welding face shield or

helmet, with suitable filter lenses.

Proper gloves and working clothes

should be worn at all times.

• ALWAYS wear a pair of safety

spectacles/goggles when

chipping away slag after welding.

Remember, ordinary eye glasses

are not safety gasses.

• ALWAYS ensure there is adequate

ventilation or extraction in the work

area as the welding process gives

off toxic fumes.

• ALWAYS ensure there is a fire

extinguisher on hand.

• ALWAYS ensure that a medical

supply is on hand, and that

treatment for burns is available.
