IMPORTANT: The extremely bright arc during welding may cause serious injury to the eyes if appropriate protective measures are not taken.
  • Use a special welding screen for the relevant welding method (MAG or MIG).
  • Partition off the workbays with beam protection screens.
  • Use a welding-emissions extractor facility.
  • The welder must wear protective clothing and gloves which are suitable for welding (i.e. flame-proof).

  • Do not carry out any welding work in the proximity of a fuel tank e.g. when it is installed.
  • Note national regulations.
