Equipment Installation - GYS Easymig 130 Manual Del Usuario

c. Welding cables: Cables must be as short as possible, close to each other and close to the ground, if not on
the ground.
d. Electrical bonding : consideration shoud be given to bonding all metal objects in the surrounding area.
However, metal objects connected to the workpiece increase the riskof electric shock if the operator touches
both these metal elements and the electrode. It is necessary to insulate the operator from such metal objects.
e. Earthing of the welded part : When the part is not earthed - due to electrical safety reasons or because of
its size and its location (which is the case with ship hulls or metallic building structures), the earthing of the part
can, in some cases but not systematically, reduce emissions It is preferable to avoid the earthing of parts that
could increase the risk of injury to the users or damage other electrical equipment. If necessary, it is appropriate
that the earthing of the part is done directly, but in some countries that do not allow such a direct connection, it
is appropriate that the connection is made with a capacitor selected according to national regulations.
f. Protection and plating : The selective protection and plating of other cables and devices in the area can
reduce perturbation issues. The protection of the entire welding area can be considered for specific situations.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE WELDING MACHINE
The machine is fitted with handle(s) to facilitate transportation. Be careful not to underestimate
the machine's weight. The handle(s) cannot be used for slinging.
Do not use the cables or torch to move the machine. The welding equipment must be moved in an upright
position.
Do not place/carry the unit over people or objects.
Never lift the machine while there is a gas cylinder on the support shelf. A clear path is available when moving the
item. The removal of the wire reel from the machine is recommended before undertaking any lifting operation.
Stray welding currents/voltages may destroy earth conductors, damage electrical equipment
or cause components to warm up which may cause a fire.
• All welding connections must be firmly secured, check regularly !
• Check that the metal piece fixation is strong and without any electrical problems !
• Attach or hang all the electrically conductive elements, such as the trolley and slinging equipment, in order
to insulate them
• Do not place any electrical equipment, such as drills or grinders, on top of the welding machine without
insulating them !
• Always place welding torches or electrodes holders on an insulated surface when they're not in use !

EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°).
• Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.
• The machine must not be used in an area with conductive metal dusts.
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• The machine protection level is IP21, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against vertically falling drops.
The power cables, extensions and welding cables must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
The manufacturer does not incur any responsability regarding damages to both objects and
persons that result from an incorrect and/or dangerous use of the machine .
