Translation of the original instructions
USE
1. Plug the earth lead and the electrode holder in the welding machine and connect it to the mains supply (to use
the EXPERT 220 DV on a 230V socket, install the plug supplied with the machine).
2. Ensure the earth lead is connected to the workpiece (as close as possible to the welding area).
3. Set the machine at its minimum then switch it on (switch ON for the EXPERT 130 / commutator 230-0-400V for
the EXPERT 220 DV). A light indicates the unit is switched on.
4. Select the appropriate electrode which should approximately the same thickness as the piece to be welded. Then
select the appropriate welding current according to the diameter of the electrode by turning the knob and obser-
ving the setting on the scale:
- To increase the power, turn the knob clockwise,
- To decrease the power, turn the knob anti-clockwise.
5. Thermal protection: After a long period of welding or an intensive use, it is necessary to wait until the transformer
cools down. These machines are protected by a thermostat which will automatically cut out the power to the unit
to prevent damage during an overload:
- Light switched off: you can weld.
- Light switched on: you must wait.
6. After using the welding unit, turn off the unit with the switch (EXPERT 130) or the commutator (EXPERT 220 DV)
and unplug the machine.
MAINTENANCE
• Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Disconnect the generator and wait until the ventilator stopped before working on the unit. Inside the device, vol-
tages and current are dangerous.
• Two or three times a year, remove the steel cover and blow off the dust with compressed air. Let check the electrical
connections (with an insulated tool) and the insulations by qualified personnel.
• Regularly control the state of the cord. If this supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
after sales service or a similarly qualified technician to avoid any danger.
ADVICE
• Respect welding polarities and currents indicated on the electrode packaging
• Remove the electrode from the electrode holder when you do not use it.
• Keep the ventilated louvre passages clean to allow in/out air circulation.
SECURITY
The arc welding can be dangerous and leads serious injury, may fatal. Protect yourself and protect the others.
Respect the following warnings:
Arc rays
Rain, steam, humidity
Electric shocks
Moving
Burns
Fire risks
Smokes
EXPERT 130 & 220DV
Protect yourself thanks to a welding helmet in compliance with EN175 equipped
with filters in compliance with EN 169 or EN 379. Inform and protect by the same
means any people in the welding environment.
The working environment must be clean (degree of pollution ≤ 3) and protected
against rain. Put the appliance on an even place and at least at one meter from
the parts to be welded. Do not use in rain or snow.
This appliance may only be use with a 230V monophase supply and must be
earthed.
Do not underestimate the weight of the apparatus. Do not carry it over people or
things. Do not drop it. Do not set it down brutally
Wear protective or fire-proof clothing (overalls, jeans).
Use some welder gloves and a fire-proof apron.
Protect the others by installing non flammable protection wall , or prevent the
others to not look at the arc and to keep a sufficient distance
