c) When Battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal object
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) User abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; Avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with copious
amounts of water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek
medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from
the batter may cause irritation or burns.
7 Additional Safety Instructions for
welders
Welders have many sources of danger. It is
therefore particularly important for the welder
to comply with the following rules so as not to
place themselves or others in danger and to
avoid endangering people and equipment.
a) Have all work on the mains voltage system, for
example on cables, plugs, sockets, etc.,
performed only by trained electricians. This
particularly applies to configuring intermediate
cables.
b) If an accident occurs, disconnect the welding
power source from the mains immediately.
c) If electric touch voltages occur, switch off the
welding set immediately and have it checked by
an expert.
d) Always check for good electrical contacts on
the welding current side.
e) Wear insulating gloves on both hands for
welding. These offer protection from electric
shocks (idling voltage in the welding circuit),
harmful radiation (Heat and UV radiation) and
from glowing metal and slag spatter.
f) Wear firm, insulated footwear. Your shoes
should also protect you in wet conditions. Open-
toed footwear is not suitable since falling droplets
of glowing metal will cause burns.
g) Wear suitable clothing, do not wear synthetic
clothes.
h) Do not look into the arc with unprotected eyes,
use only a welding safety shield with the proper
safety glass in compliance with DIN standards. In
addition to light and heat, which may cause
dazzling and burns, the arc also gives off UV
radiation. Without proper protection, this invisible
ultraviolet radiation causes very painful
conjunctivitis, which will only be noticeable
several hours later. In addition, UV radiation will
cause sunburn-type symptoms on unprotected
parts of the body.
i) Personnel or assistants in the vicinity of the arc
must also be notified of the dangers and provided
with the required protection; if necessary install
safety walls.
j) Ensure adequate ventilation for welding,
particularly in small rooms since the process
causes smoke and harmful gases.
k) Do not carry out any welding work on tanks that
have been used to store gases, fuels, mineral oil or
the like, even if they have been empty for a
lengthy period of time, since any residue will result
in a danger of explosion.
