Safety instructions
materials must be worn to
insulate the body against
ground.
When using plasma cutters
under electrically dangerous
conditions, e.g. tight spaces
made of electrically conductive
walls (boiler, pipes, etc.),
in wet rooms (soaking of work
clothes), the output voltage
of the plasma cutter must
be greater than 48 volt
when idling (effective value).
The plasma cutter may be
used in these cases due to the
output voltage.
z Protective clothing
At work, the welder must
protect his/her whole body
by using appropriate
clothing and face protection
against radiations and burns.
The following steps must be
observed:
– Wear protective clothing
prior to welding work.
– Wear gloves.
– Open windows to guarantee
air supply.
– Wear safety goggles.
Gauntlet gloves made of a
suitable material (leather) must
be worn on both hands. They
must be in perfect condition.

GB/CY
A suitable apron must be
worn to protect clothing
from flying sparks and burns.
When specific work, e.g.
overhead welding, is required,
a protective suit must be worn
and, if necessary, even head
protection.
z Protection against rays
and burns
A 'Caution! Do not stand in
the flames!' warning sign to
indicate an eye hazard must
be visible at the workplace.
The workplaces must be
shielded so that the persons
in the vicinity are protected.
Unauthorised persons must be
kept away from welding work.
The walls in the immediate
vicinity of fixed workplaces
should neither be bright
coloured or shiny. Windows
up to head height must be
protected to prevent rays
from penetrating or reflecting
through them, e.g. by using
suitable paint.

IEC 60974-10, it has to do
