Ensure the welding zone is in a well-venlated area. If this is not possible provision should be made for
suitable fume extracon.
A WILKINSON STAR LIMITED PRODUCT 12-16 ISSUE 1
If venlaon is poor, wear an approved respirator.
Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) and the manufacturer’s instrucons for
metals, consumable, coangs, cleaners, and de-greasers.
Do not weld in locaons near any de-greasing, cleaning, or spraying operaons. Be aware that heat and
rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritang gases.
Do not weld on coated metals, unless the coang is removed from the weld area, the area is well
venlated, and while wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coangs on many metals can give o toxic
fumes if welded.
Prevenon against burns and radiaon
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense, visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays
that can burn eyes and skin.
Wear an approved welding helmet ed with a proper shade of lter lens to protect your face and eyes
when welding or watching.
Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
Never use broken or faulty welding helmets.
Always ensure there are adequate protecve screens or barriers to protect others from ash, glare and
sparks from the welding area. Ensure that there are adequate warnings that welding or cung is taking
place.
Wear suitable protecve ame resistant clothing.
The sparks and spaer from welding, hot work pieces, and hot equipment can cause res and burns
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode.
Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause arcs, explosion, overheang, or re.
Check and be sure the area is safe and clear of inammable material before carrying out any welding.
Protecon against noise
Some welding and cung operaons may produce noise.
Wear safety ear protecon to protect your hearing.
Protecon from moving parts
When the machine is in operaon keep away from moving parts such as motors and fans. Moving parts,
such as the fan, may cut ngers and hands and snag garments.

Precauons against re and explosion
Avoid causing res due to sparks and hot waste or molten metal
Ensure that appropriate re safety devices are available near the cung / welding area.
Remove all ammable and combusble materials from the cung / welding zone and surrounding areas
Do not cut/weld fuel and lubricant containers, even if empty.
These must be carefully cleaned before they can be cut/ welded.
Always allow the cut/welded material to cool before touching it or placing it in contact with combusble
or ammable material.
Do not work in atmospheres with high concentraons of combusble fumes, ammable gases and dust.
Always check the work area half an hour aer cung to make sure that no res have begun.
Risks due to magnec elds
The magnec elds created by high currents may aect the operaon of pacemakers or electronically
controlled medical equipment.
Wearers of vital electronic equipment should consult their physician before beginning any arc welding,
cung, gouging or spot welding operaons.
Do not go near welding equipment with any sensive electronic equipment as the magnec elds may
cause damage.
RF Declaraon
Equipment that complies with direcve 2004/108/EC concerning electromagnec compability (EMC)
and the technical requirements of EN60974-10 is designed for use in industrial buildings and not those for
domesc use where electricity is provided via the low voltage public distribuon system. Dicules may
arise in assuring class A electromagnec compability for systems installed in domesc locaons due to
conducted and radiated emissions.
In the case of electromagnec problems, it is the responsibility of the user to resolve the situaon. It may
be necessary to shield the equipment and t suitable lters on the mains supply.
LF Declaraon
Consult the data plate on the equipment for the power supply requirements.
Due to the elevated absorbance of the primary current from the power supply network, high power
systems aect the quality of power provided by the network. Consequently, connecon restricons or
maximum impedance requirements permied by the network at the public network connecon point
must be applied to these systems.
In this case the installer or the user is responsible for ensuring the equipment can be connected,
consulng the electricity provider if necessary.
Materials and their disposal
The equipment is manufactured with materials, which do not contain any toxic or poisonous materials
A WILKINSON STAR LIMITED PRODUCT 12-16 ISSUE 1
dangerous to the operator.
When the equipment is scrapped, it should be dismantled separang components according to the
type of materials.
Do not dispose of the equipment with normal waste. The European Direcve 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment states the electrical equipment that has reached its end of life must
be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compable recycling facility.
Handling of Compressed gas cylinders and regulators
All cylinders and pressure regulators used in welding operaons should be handled with care.
Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
Always secure the cylinder safely
Never deface or alter any cylinder
