3.3. Specific hazard instructions
• Eye, skin and hearing damage may occur during light arc welding! Protective work wear must always
be worn for eye, skin and hearing protection according to the respective country's relevant regulations.
• Metal vapours that occur are very harmful, especially with lead, cadmium, copper and beryllium!
• Adequate ventilation or extraction must be ensured during welding. Specified MAC values (max.
allowable concentration) may not be exceeded.
• Work pieces that have been cleaned with chlorinated solvents or degreased should be rinsed with clear
water, otherwise there is a risk of gasification.
• A greasing bath containing chlorine should not be set up in proximity to the welding area.
• Other hazards may occur when using welding torches such as those due to electric current (power
source, internal circuit), welding spatter as a result of flammable or explosive substances, UV radiation
due to the light arc, smoke and vapours.
• The intermediate drive must always be used when it is closed.
• The housing is made of aluminium and carries the welding voltage. Although it is in the safe low
voltage range, the device must not be operated by pacemaker patients.
