advice and TherMal proTecTion
- Respect the basic rules of welding.
- Leave the air holes of the device open to allow air circulation.
- Leave the device plugged after welding to allow its cooling.
- Thermal protection: The light turns on and the cooling duration is a couple of minute according to the area tempe-
rature.
MainTenance
- The maintenance has to be done by a qualified person.
- Cut the power supply unplugging the device, wait for the ventilator to stop before working on the welding unit.
Inside, tensions and currents are high and dangerous.
- Regularly remove the metal cover and dust with compressed air. Take the opportunity to have the electrical connec-
tions checked by a qualified person with an insulated tool.
- Regularly check the good condition of the power supply cord. If damaged, it has to be changed by the manufacturer,
its after sales service or a qualified person, to avoid any danger.
securiTY
The MIG/MAG welding can be dangerous and cause serious or even lethal wounds. Protect yourself and protect the
others.Respect the following safety instructions:
arc radiations: Protect yourself with a helmet fitted with filters in compliance with EN169 or EN 379.
rain, steam, dampness: Use your welding unit in a clean environment (pollution factor ? 3), laid down flat and
more than one meter far from the part to be welded. Do not use in rain or snow.
electric shock: This device must only be used with a three-phase power supply with 3 wires and a neutral connec-
ted to earth. Do not touch the parts under tension. Check that the supply net is well adapted to the unit. Never use a
defective torch (i.e that has a problem with electrical insulation) at the risk of damaging the machine and the electri-
cal system.
Falls: Do not move the unit over people or objects.
burns: Wear fire-proof working clothes (cotton, overalls or jeans). Work with protection gloves and a fire-proof apron.
Protect the others installing fire-proof protection walls or telling them not to look at the arc and to keep sufficient
distances.
Fire risks: Remove all flammable products from the working area. Do not work in presence of flammable gases.
Fumes: Do not inhale welding gases and fumes. Use the device in a correctly ventilated environment, with artificial
extraction if welding indoor.
additional precautions: Any welding operation:
- in rooms where there are increased electric shock risks,
- in closed rooms,
- in presence of flammable or explosive material, must always be approved by a «responsible expert», and made in
presence of people trained to intervene in case of urgency.
Technical protection means described in the Technical Specification CEI/IEC 62081 must be implemented.
Welding in raised positions is forbidden, except in case of safety platforms use.
people wearing pacemakers must see their doctor before using these devices.
do not use the welding unit to unfreeze pipes.
handle the gas bottle with care, there might be risks if the bottle or its valve get damaged.
