General Warning Notes

Danger of injury while welding

WARNING:
Electric welding
- Risk of electric shock or burns

- Wear personal protective gear.
- Disconnect both battery terminals.
- Do not weld in a damp area or when it is wet under foot.
- Move highly inflammable materials out of the work area. Ventilate the work area well.
- Remove smoke gases with an extraction system.
- Read specific safety information for the welder.
- Check that welder is working perfectly before use.

Safety instructions for dealing with flying sparks during grinding and welding work

WARNING:
Grinding and welding work
- Danger of fire or explosion

- Avoid working in an area with highly inflammable or explosive materials.
- Cover highly inflammable or explosive areas.

Safety instructions for grinding aluminium components

WARNING:
Excessively high dust concentration during grinding work on aluminium components
- Risk of explosion

- Always use an extraction system during grinding work.
- Remove dust in the work area regularly.
- Do not use compressed air to blow away dust deposits.
- Separate aluminium dust and chips from steel dust and chips.
- Clean the extraction system at regular intervals.
- Never weld and grind in the same room at the same time.
- Only use pneumatic grinders if possible.

Safety instructions for air conditioning

CAUTION:
Danger of injury. Bursting of the filled air-conditioning system during welding and brazing work.
- Danger of injury due to the filled air-conditioning system bursting during welding and brazing work.

- No welding, brazing or hot-air heating may be performed on parts of the filled air-conditioning system.
- While drying after painting work, the temperature burden on the vehicle must not exceed two hours at a maximum temperature of 80 °C.
- Make sure that parts of the air-conditioning system do not heat up during welding or brazing work on the vehicle.
- In the case of extreme heating of filled air-conditioning systems, a very strong overpressure may be caused in the system which may lead to an explosion.
