2.7.2
Burns and danger of fire through high temperatures
CAUTION!
The orbital weld head is hot after welding. Very high temperatures arise in particular after several
consecutive welding processes. There is a danger of burns or damage to the points of contact when
working on the orbital weld head (for example when changing clamps or mounting/removing the elec-
trodes). Materials without thermal resistance (for example foam inlay of the transport packages) can
be damaged when coming into contact with the hot orbital weld head.
X
Wear safety gloves.
X
Wait until the surfaces have cooled down to below 50 °C before working on the orbital weld head or before packing
into the transport packaging.
WARNING!
Thermal problems can arise in the case of incorrect positioning of the forming system or the use of
impermissible materials in the welding area. In the worst case a fire will be started. Observe the
local general fire protection measures.
X
Position the forming system correctly.
X
Use only permissible materials in the welding area.
WARNING!
Danger of scalding through hot emitted liquids as well as hot plug connections during heavy opera-
tion.
X
Heed the safety precautions of the technical supervisor/person in charge of safety.
2.7.3
Tripping over the hose package
CAUTION!
If a hose package is connected, there is the danger that persons may trip over it and be injured.
WARNING!
Tripping over could cause the plug to be pulled out so that in the worst case an arc may arise between
the plug and the orbital weld system. Burns and glaring light may be the result.
X
Ensure that
under no circumstances
can people trip over the hose package.
X
Do
not
place the hose package under tension.
X
Ensure that the hose package is connected properly and that the strain relief is attached.
2.7.4
Long-lasting physical damage through wrong posture
X
Use the machine so that an upright and comfortable body position can be achieved during operation.
2.7.5
Electric shock
WARNING!
The danger exists of unintentionally operating the ignition function when connecting or disconnect-
ing a weld head from the welding power supply.
X
Switch off the orbital welding power supply when connecting or disconnecting a weld head.
X
Do not play with weld head.
X
If the weld head is not ready for operation, switch it to the "Test" function.
WARNING!
Electrical hazards through contact.
