Danger!
Risk of fatal injury from high voltage during electric welding.
Danger of explosion and fire when welding in the area of highly inflammable materials.
Irritation to respiratory tracts from toxic zinc oxide emitted when welding galvanized steel!
Danger of injury from weld spatters and UV light when welding!
Danger of injury from false releases of pyrotechnical safety components!
- Do not perform welding work in a humid environment or on a wet background; there is a risk of fatal injury from the voltage being conducted through the human body. Persons with heart pacemakers should not perform welding work. Use insulating underlays.
- Remove highly flammable materials from the work area; if necessary, remove units with fuel-carrying parts and protect work areas in the vehicle that are at risk of catching fire using fire-proof covers.
- Vertilate the work area well.
- Remove smoke gases with a suitable extraction system.
- Wear suitable protective equipment, such as protective clothing, gloves, a welding shield and, if necessary, a protective mask.
- For welding work, always disconnect both terminals on the battery. In the case of welding work in the immediate vicinity of the control modules for pyrotechnical safety systems, remove the control modules before beginning work.
- In addition, the guidelines of the welding equipment manufacturers and the legal accident prevention regulations and those of the mutual indemnity association (BGVD1) must be observed.
