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 US-
ERS FOR THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE
MACHINE. THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY
FOR WELDING 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 danger-
ous.
· Electric current following through any con-
ductor causes localized Electric and Mag-
netic Fields (EMF). Welding/cutting current
creates EMF fields around cables and pow-
er sources.
· The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect
the operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vital electronic
equipment (pacemakers) shall consult their physician be-
fore 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, gas-
es or fumes. · All cylinders and pressure regulators
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
difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in
non-industrial environments.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT.
Do not dispose of electrical equipment together
10
with normal waste!In observance of European Directive
2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip-
ment and its implementation in accordance with national
law, electrical equipment that has reached the end of its
life must be collected separately and returned to an envi-
ronmentally compatible recycling facility. As the owner of
the equipment, you should get information on approved
collection systems from our local representative. By ap-
plying this European Directive you will improve the envi-
ronment and human health!
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST ASSISTANCE
FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
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 dur-
ing 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.
1.2 Protect yourself from electric shock by insulating
yourself from work and ground.
1.3 Disconnect input plug or power before working on
machine.
2
Breathing welding fumes can be hazardous to your health.
2.1 Keep your head out of fumes.
2.2 Use forced ventilation or local exhaust to remove fumes.
