Kemppi Minarc 120 AU Operating Manual - Spatter and Fire Safety
EN
• Never wear the device on the shoulder during welding and never
suspend it by the carrying strap during welding.
• Do not expose the machine to high temperatures, as heat may cause
damage to the machine.
• Keep the torch cable and earthing cable as close to each other as
possible throughout their length. Straighten any loops in the cables. This
minimises your exposure to harmful magnetic fields, which may interfere
with a pacemaker, for example.
• Do not wrap the cables around the body.
• In environments classified as dangerous, only use S-marked welding
devices with a safe idle voltage level. These work environments include,
for example, humid, hot or small spaces where the user may be directly
exposed to the surrounding conductive pieces.
spatter and fire safety
• Welding is always classified as hot work, so pay attention to fire safety
regulations during welding and after it.
• Remember that fire can break out from sparks even several hours after
the welding work is completed.
• Protect the environment from welding splatter. Remove flammable
materials, such as flammable fluids, from the welding vicinity and supply
the welding site with adequate fire fighting equipment.
• In special welding jobs, be prepared for hazards such as fire or explosion
when welding container type work pieces.
• Never direct the spark spray or cutting spray of a grinder toward the
welding machine or flammable materials.
• Beware of hot objects or splatter falling on the machine when working
above the machine.
• Welding in flammable or explosive sites is absolutely forbidden.
general electric safety
• Only connect the welding machine to an earthed electric network.
• Note the recommended mains fuse size.
• Do not take the welding machine inside a container, vehicle or similar
work piece.
• Do not place the welding machine on a wet surface and do not work on
a wet surface.
• Do not allow the mains cable to be directly exposed to water.
• Ensure cables or welding torches are not squashed by heavy objects and
that they are not exposed to sharp edges or a hot work piece.
