� Before welding, adjust the auto-darkening lens sensitivity setting to meet the application. � Stop welding immediately if the auto-darkening lens does not darken when the arc is struck. NOISE can damage hearing. Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing. �...
� Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases. � Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air- supplied respirator.

� Avoir recours à des écrans protecteurs ou à des rideaux pour protéger les autres contre les rayonnements les éblouissements et les étincelles ; prévenir toute personne sur les lieux de ne pas regarder l’arc. � Porter une protection corporelle en cuir ou des vêtements ignifuges (FRC). La protection du corps comporte des vêtements sans huile, comme des gants de cuir, une chemise solide, des pantalons sans revers, des chaussures hautes et une casquette.
LES FUMÉES ET LES GAZ peuvent être dangereux. Le soudage génère des fumées et des gaz. Leur inhalation peut être dange- reux pour votre santé. � Eloigner votre tête des fumées. Ne pas respirer les fumées. � À l’intérieur, ventiler la zone et/ou utiliser une ventilation forcée au niveau de l’arc pour l’éva- cuation des fumées et des gaz de soudage.
