Pour Soudage A L

’

Arc

1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse

lectrique:

a. Les circuits

’é

lectrode et

la pi

ce sont sous tension

quand la machine

souder est en marche. Eviter toujours

tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue

ou les v

tements mouill

s. Porter des gants secs et sans

trous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire tr

s attention de bien s

’

isoler de la masse quand on

soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher

metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans

les positions assis ou couch

pour lesquelles une grande

partie du corps peut

tre en contact avec la masse.

c. Maintenir le porte-

lectrode, la pince de masse, le c

ble

de soudage et la machine

souder en bon et s

tat

defonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-

lectrode dans l

’

eau pour le

refroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultan

ment les parties sous tension

des porte-

lectrodes connect

deux machines

souder

parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut

tre le

total de la tension

vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine

souder comme une source de

courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions

pour le porte-

lectrode s

’

applicuent aussi au pistolet de

soudage.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se prot

ger

contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais

enrouler le c

ble-

lectrode autour de n

’

importe quelle partie

du corps.

3. Un coup d

’

arc peut

tre plus s

re qu

’

un coup de soliel,

donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant appropri

ainsi qu

’

un verre blanc afin de se prot

ger les yeux du ray-

onnement de l

’

arc et des projections quand on soude ou

quand on regarde l

’

arc.

b. Porter des v

tements convenables afin de prot

ger la

peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de

‘

arc.

c. Prot

ger l

’

autre personnel travaillant

proximit

soudage

’

aide d

’é

crans appropri

s et non-inflammables.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont

mises de l

’

arc de

soudage. Se prot

ger avec des v

tements de protection libres

de l

’

huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise

paisse, pan-

talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de s

curit

dans la zone de

soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec

crans lateraux dans les

zones o

’

on pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les mat

riaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de

venir tout risque d

’

incendie d

aux

tincelles.

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince

une endroit isol

la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un

chauffement et un risque d

’

incendie.

8. S

’

assurer que la masse est connect

e le plus pr

s possible

de la zone de travail qu

’

il est pratique de le faire. Si on place

la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d

’

autres

endroits

loign

s de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque

de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-

age, c

bles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer

des risques d

’

incendie ou d

’

echauffement des chaines et des

bles jusqu

’à

ce qu

’

ils se rompent.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.

Ceci est particuli

rement important pour le soudage de t

les

galvanis

es plomb

es, ou cadmi

es ou tout autre m

tal qui

produit des fume

s toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en pr

sence de vapeurs de chlore provenant

’

rations de d

graissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La

chaleur ou les rayons de l

’

arc peuvent r

agir avec les vapeurs

du solvant pour produire du phosg

ne (gas fortement toxique)

ou autres produits irritants.

ret
