3.2 HAZARDS AND PERSONAL BODY PROTECTION
Please also observe the relevant regulations of the respective country.
RISK OF INJURY FROM RADIATION OR HEAT:
Protective gloves must be worn when welding.
Uncovered areas of the skin must be protected from
the UV radiation generated during welding in order to
avoid skin damage.
Wear suitable dry protective clothing with no synthetic
fibers.
The workpiece and the electrode tip can become very
hot during welding – risk of burns.
Welding can cause sparks and spatters – risk of burns.
EYE PROTECTION WHEN WELDING:
Never look into the arc without eye protection; always
use a welding mask with certified protective glass.
In addition to light and thermal radiation, which can
cause dazzling and burning, the electric arc also emits
UV radiation. With insufficient protection this invisible
ultraviolet radiation causes very painful conjunctivitis,
which can first be noticed hours later, and can also
cause permanent eye damage.
The Lampert eye protection systems with its integrated
LCD protective welding screen offers reliable protection
against these risks and provides permanent protection
from UV / IR rays in both light and dark state. The
protective class of the filter is defined such that
dazzling by the arc is effectively prevented.
Persons who are nearby to the electric arc and
assistants must also be informed of the dangers and
equipped with the appropriate protection; if necessary
set up protective partition walls.
EYE PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING THE LED
ILLUMINATION:
Never look into the LED lamp or its reflections without
eye protection; use protective shield or safety glasses
with suitable protective glass.
SMOKES AND GASES:
When welding, especially in small spaces, ensure that
there is an adequate fresh air supply or use an external
extractor fan, as smoke and hazardous gases occur.
EXPLOSION HAZARD – DANGER WHEN
WELDING ON CONTAINERS:
It is not permitted to carry out welding on containers
that have been used for storing gases, propellants,
mineral oils or similar, even if they have been empty for
a long time, as there is a risk of explosions caused by
residues.
Particular regulations apply to fire and explosion
endangered spaces.
OTHER DANGERS:
The electrode tip installed in the handpiece means a
risk of injury (stabbing and scratching of e.g. hand, face
and eyes).
3.3 HAZARDS OF SHIELDING GAS CYLINDERS
Observe all applicable safety measures when
handling gas cylinders as well as the safety
regulations for handling gases. Gas tanks must
especially be secured against falling over / falling down
and heat (max. 50°C); it is particularly important to
ensure they are not subjected to sunlight for extended
periods and that they are protected from severe frost.
3.4 RISK OF ALLERGIC REACTIONS:
Please note that the device's raw materials that
could come into contact with the operator's skin
may cause allergic reactions in susceptible people.
4. SETUP AND INSTALLATION
4.1 SET-UP OF THE DEVICE
The system is to be set up so that cooling air is able to
reach all of the surfaces of the housing without
hindrance. The device may not be covered! The device
is to be placed on a non-combustible surface! The
device should be set up on a base that is solid, level,
and insulated - ideally on a suitable workbench. Fasten
the two hand supports for the microscope with 2 Allen
screws using the supplied Allen key by inserting the
screws into the designated holes from underneath the
microscope baseplate and into the hand supports.
