INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR WIRE WELDING MACHINE
IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT,
READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL, WHICH MUST
BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL USERS FOR
THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHINE.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR WEL-
DING OPERATIONS.

1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE
HARMFUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. The
user must therefore be educated against the hazards,
summarized below, deriving from welding operations.
For more detailed information, order the manual code
3.300.758
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS - May be dangerous.
· Electric current following through any con-
ductor causes localized Electric and Ma-
gnetic Fields (EMF). Welding/cutting current
creates EMF fields around cables and po-
wer sources.
· The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect
the operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vital electronic
equipment (pacemakers) should consult their physician
before beginning any arc welding, cutting, gouging or
spot welding operations.
· Exposure to EMF fields in welding/cutting may have
other health effects which are now not known.
· All operators should use the followingprocedures in or-
der to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding/
cutting circuit:
- Route the electrode and work cables together
- Secure them with tape when possible.
- Never coil the electrode/torch lead around your body.
- Do not place your body between the electrode/torch
lead and work cables. If the electrode/torch lead
cable is on your right side, the work cable should also
be on your right side.
- Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded/cut.
- Do not work next to welding/cutting power source.
EXPLOSIONS
· Do not weld in the vicinity of containers under
pressure, or in the presence of explosive dust,
gases or fumes. · All cylinders and pressure regu-
lators used in welding operations should be handled with
care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY.
This machine is manufactured in compliance with the in-
structions contained in the standard IEC 60974-10 (CL.
A), and must be used solely for professional purposes in
an industrial environment. There may be potential diffi-
culties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in non-
industrial environments.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT.
Do not dispose of electrical equipment together
with normal waste! Electrical equipment that has
2
reached the end of its life must be collected separately
and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling
facility. As the owner of the equipment, you should get
information on approved collection systems from our lo-
cal representative.
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST ASSISTANCE
FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Extra precautions are to be observed when working on
elevated positions.
Electromagnetic compatibility
In Canada, the EMC classification does not apply to arc
welding power source.
Safety standards
To provide minimum requirements and recommendations
to protect persons who work in an
environment affected by welding, cutting, and allied pro-
cesses see CAN/CSA-W117.2 standard.

1.1 WARNING LABEL

The following numbered text corresponds to the label
numbered boxes.
B. Drive rolls can injure fingers.
C. Welding wire and drive parts are at welding voltage
during operation — keep hands and metal objects
away.
1 Electric shock from welding electrode or wiring can
kill.
1.1 Wear dry insulating gloves. Do not touch electrode
with bare hand. Do not wear wet or damaged gloves.
