Fire And Explosion Hazard; Electrical Safety - GYS ARCPULL 350 Benutzerhandbuch

Operating manual
Please note that welding in small environments requires supervision from a safe distance. In addition, the welding of certain materials containing lead,
cadmium, zinc or mercury or even beryllium can be particularly harmful, also degrease the parts before welding them.
Cylinders should be stored in open or well-ventilated rooms. They must be in an upright position and held on a support or on a cart.
Welding should be prohibited near grease or paint.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Fully shield the welding area, flammable materials should be kept at least 11 meters away.
Fire-resistant equipment must be present near the welding operations.
Watch out for splashes of hot materials or sparks and even through cracks, they can be a source of fire or explosion.
Keep people, flammable objects and pressurized containers at a sufficient safety distance.
Welding in closed containers or tubes is to be avoided and if they are open, they must be emptied of any flammable or explosive material (oil, fuel,
gas residues, etc.).
Grinding operations should not be directed at the welding power source or at flammable materials.
GAS BOTTLES OR GAS CYLINDER
The gas coming out of the cylinders can be a source of suffocation in case of concentration in the welding space (ventilate well).
Transport must be done in complete safety: cylinders closed and the welding power source switched off. They must be stored
vertically and held by a support to limit the risk of falling.
Close the bottle between two uses. Pay attention to temperature variations and exposure to the sun.
The bottle must not be in contact with a flame, an electric arc, a torch, an earth clamp or any other source of heat or incandescence.
Be sure to keep it away from electrical and welding circuits and therefore never weld a cylinder under pressure.
Be careful when opening the cylinder valve, keep your head away from the valve and ensure that the gas used is appropriate for the welding process.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The electrical network used must imperatively have an earth connection. Use the fuse size recommended on the rating board.
An electric shock can be a source of direct or indirect serious accident, even fatal.
Never touch live parts inside or outside the undervoltage current source (Torches, clamps, cables, electrodes) because these are connected to the
welding circuit.
Before opening the welding current source, it must be disconnected from the network and wait 2 minutes so that all the capacitors are discharged.
Do not touch the torch or electrode holder and the work clamp at the same time.
Be sure to change the cables and torches, by qualified and authorized persons, if they are damaged. Size the cross-section of the cables according
to the application. Always use dry clothing in good condition to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Wear insulated shoes, whatever the work
environment.
EMC CLASSIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT
This Class A equipment is not intended for use in a residential location where the electric current is supplied by the public low-
voltage power supply network. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility at these sites, due
to conducted as well as radiated RF disturbances.
Provided that the impedance of the public low voltage supply network at the common coupling point is less than Zmax = 0.20
Ohms, this equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11 and can be connected to public low voltage supply networks. tension. It is
the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consulting the distribution network operator if necessary,
that the network impedance complies with the impedance restrictions.
IEC 61000-3-12 This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-12.
