1.3 Warning notes for operating resistance welder
Caution!
When operating resistance welding devices the accident prevention regulation
BGV B11 (electromagnetic fields) and the BG-regulations BGR B11 have to be followed. The power supply unit and supply lines of welding gun and spot welding tongs
generate a strong electromagnetic field during operation. Electromagnetic fields may
cause irritations of sense organs, nerves- and muscle cells as well as mal functions of
body supporting devices (deaf aid, pacemaker etc.) and of electronic devices and data
memories.
Cable pliers:
At a distance of 15 cm perpendicular to the frame enclosed by the electrodes the exposure limit values of the EU-Directive 2004/40/EG and the identical basic values corresponding to the accident prevention regulation BGV B11 will most probably be adhered
to. At the welding cable of spot welding tongs the exposure limit values of the EUDirective 2004/40/EG and the identical basic values of the accident prevention regulation BGV B11 will be already adhered to at distances from 7 cm for sure.
Further notes for operating with magnetic fields:
Magnetic fields occur during the welding process only (time of current flow).
The head must not be in the vicinity of the frame enclosed by the electrodes or the
electrodes themselve during the welding process.
The welding cables must not be guided along or in the vicinity of head and spines.

2. Health and safety
This section contains an overview of the most important health and safety at work aspects in
order to protect employees and to guarantee safe and troublefree operation.
Non-compliance with any and all of the information, safe behaviour and procedures etc. contained herein may entail severe health and safety risks.
2.1 Responsibilities of the operating company
This equipment has been designed for professional use. The owner/operator or operating
company therefore is subject to any and all legal obligations concerning health and safety at
work.
That means, in addition to this operating manual, any and all accident prevention, health and
safety at work and environmental regulations pertaining to this equipment's scope of application shall apply as well. This means in particular:
The operating company must be informed about any and all pertinent health and safety at
work regulations and must carry out a risk assessment in order to determine additional
hazards existing under the specific conditions in the specific work environment at the
place of operation. Any and all findings from such a risk assessment must then be used
to draw up additional operating instructions for the operation of this equipment.
During the entire lifetime of this equipment, the operating company must check in regular
intervals whether such additional operating instructions are still up to date and must update them when necessary.
The operating company must unambiguously determine and communicate responsibili-
ties concerning the installation, operation, maintenance and cleaning of this equipment.
The operating company must make sure that any person handling this equipment has
read and understood this operating manual. Operating personnel, in addition, must be
trained in regular intervals and must be informed about the dangers existing in connection
with this equipment. (For a draft of a training report form, see "Appendix”
The operating company is responsible that the equipment is in proper working order at all
times. Therefore:
The operating company must make sure that any and all maintenance jobs described in
this manual are really carried out.
The operating company must have any and all safety labels, markings etc. on the equip-
ment checked for integrity and readability in regular intervals.
2.2 Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Wearing PPE during work is essential to minimise health and safety risks.
Be sure to be always wearing the appropriate PPE for the job at hand.
Be sure to take note of and comply with warning signs concerning PPE that may be in-
stalled at the workplace.
Wear principally
At all works wear principally:
Non-inflammable safety clothing
is a tight-fitting sort of special clothing that is not inflammable, covers arms
and legs completely and tears easily (instead of getting pulled in). Its main
purpose is to protect against burns.
Safety shoes
protect the wearer's feet against falling objects, slippery surfaces and being
run over by vehicles.
