GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Remove the plug from the socket

and wait 5 minutes to allow the

capacitors to discharge before

carrying out any servicing or

maintenance on this welder.

• Do not touch live electrical parts.

• Never use electrode holders or

cables which are damaged.

• Keep working environment,

equipment, cables and clothing

free from grease, oil, moisture and

dirt.

• Ensure welding machine has been

correctly earthed.

• The operator must be insulated

from the floor and work bench

using a dry insulation mat.

• Always ensure a second person is

present in case of accident.

• Never change electrodes with

bare hands or damp gloves.

• Keep welding cables away from

power cables.

• Regularly inspect the condition of

the cables for signs of damage.

• Remove plug from the mains

socket when not in use, do not

leave the machine unattended.

• Ensure earth clamp is secured to

bare metal adjacent to weld

seam, and when not in use is

insulated for safety. - Keep all

equipment well maintained.

• The operator shall prevent gas

cylinders in the vicinity of the work

piece from becoming part of the

welding circuit.

FUMES & GASES

• The welding process generates

hazardous fumes as a by-product.

Inhalation of these fumes is

hazardous to health.

• Keep your head away from the

weld to avoid breathing the fumes.

• If welding in confined spaces

ensure adequate ventilation and

use a fume extractor.

• By-products of welding can react

to create a toxic/explosive

environment.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION

Welding can cause fire and

explosions. Precautions should be

taken to prevent these hazards.

• Before starting work ensure the

area is clear of flammable

materials.

• Move any combustible materials to

a safe distance, especially

substances likely to generate a

dangerous vapour.

WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRICAL TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY

WARNING: READ ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO

OPERATE THIS PRODUCT AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

• The welding arc can cause serious

burns. Avoid contact with skin.

• Sparks and molten metal are

ejected during welding. Take

precautions to prevent fire.

• Sparks and molten metal can pass

through gaps. Be aware that fire

can start out of sight.

• Do not weld pressurised containers.

or containers containing

flammable vapours e.g. fuel tanks.

• Always have appropriate fire

fighting equipment to hand

suitable for use in electrical

environments.

• Avoid carrying any fuels with you

e.g. cigarette lighters or matches.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

• The body should be protected by

suitable clothing.

• The use of neck protection may be

necessary against reflected

radiation.

• Arc machines generate a

magnetic field which is detrimental

to pacemakers. Consult your

doctor before going near active

welding equipment/operations.

• The UV and IR radiation generated

by welding is highly damaging to

the eye, causing burns. This can

also affect the skin.

• Always use suitable welding shields

equipped with appropriate

protection filters.

• Where there are pedestrians and

traffic ensure a protective screen is

used to avoid accidental arc glare.

• Do not weld in the vicinity of

children or animals and ensure no

one is looking before striking an

arc.

• Wear hearing protection if

required.

• Allow the weld time to cool. Hot

metal should never be handled

without gloves.

• Take care when adjusting or

maintaining the torch, that it has

had time to cool sufficiently and

the welder is disconnected from

the mains supply.

• First aid facilities and a qualified first

aid person should be available

unless medical facilities are close

by, for immediate treatment of

flash burns of the eyes and skin

burns.

• A hard hat should be worn when

others are working overhead.

• Flammable hair sprays/gels should

not be used by persons intending

to weld or cut.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

• Wear gauntlet gloves designed for

use in welding.

• Wear an apron, and protective

shoes.

• Wear cuffless trousers to avoid

entry of sparks and slag.

• Avoid oily greasy clothing.

• Protective head and shoulder

coverings should be worn when

overhead welding.

• Wear helmet with safety goggles or

glasses with side shields

underneath, appropriate filter

lenses or plates (protected by clear

glass). This is a MUST for welding

(and chipping) to protect the eyes

from radiant energy and spatter.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

Replace cover glass when broken,

pitted, or spattered.

NOTE: ALL protective wear inc. masks

& head shields MUST comply with PPE

Directive 89/686/EEC

GAS CYLINDERS:

• Gas cylinders should be located or

secured so that they cannot be

knocked over.

• Shield gas containers can explode

if damaged. Take care when

handling.

• Ensure gas cylinders are shut-off

when not in use and between

operations.

• Take care that a build-up of gas is

not permitted to form in confined

areas.

• Cylinders must be in an upright

position at all times during use and

storage.

• The gas cylinder must never come

in to contact with the electrode.

• Follow the manufacturer's

instructions for handling, storing

and using the gas bottle correctly

and safely.

• Use the correct equipment to

connect the gas bottle to the

welding torch.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

FOR MIG WELDING

•ALWAYS ensure that there is ample

free air circulating around the

outer casing of the machine, and

that the louvres are unobstructed.

• ALWAYS inspect the hose before

use to ensure it is in good condition.

• ALWAYS keep the free length of

torch hose outside the work area.

• ALWAYS remove all flammable

materials from the welding area.

• ALWAYS keep a fire extinguisher

handy;-Dry Powder, C02 or BCF,

NOT Water.

• NEVER remove any of the panels

unless the machine is

disconnected from the power

supply, AND never use the

machine with any of the panels

removed.

• NEVER attempt any electrical or

mechanical repair unless you are a

qualified technician. If you have a

problem with the machine contact

your local CLARKE dealer.

• Never use or store in a wet/damp

environment.

• NEVER continue to weld, if, at any

time, you feel even the smallest

electric shock. Stop welding

IMMEDIATELY, and DO NOT attempt

to use the machine until the fault is

diagnosed and corrected.

• NEVER point the MIG torch at any

person or animal.

• Never touch the MIG torch nozzle

until the welder is switched OFF and

the nozzle has been allowed to

cool off.

• NEVER allow the earth cable or

hose to become wrapped around

the operator or any person in the

vicinity.
