Electrical Safety; Equipment Installation; Maintenance / Recommendations - GYS NEOCOOL Manual De Instrucciones

FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISKS
Protect the entire welding area. Flammable materials must be moved to a minimum safe distance of 11 meters.
A fire extinguisher must be readily available near the welding operations.
Be careful of spatter and sparks, even through cracks.
It can be the source of a fire or an explosion.
Keep people, flammable materials/objects and containers that are under pressure at a safe distance.
Welding in closed containers or pipes should be avoided and , if they are opened, they must be emptied of any flammable or explosive material (oil,
fuel, gas ...).
Grinding operations should not be directed towards the device itself or any flammable materials.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The electrical mains used must have an earth terminal. Use the recommended fuse size.
An electric shock could cause serious injuries or potentially even deadly accidents.
Never touch live parts inside and outside of the device when it is powered on (Torches, clamps, cables, electrodes) as they are connected to the
welding circuit.
Before opening the device, it is imperative to disconnect it from the mains and to wait for 2 minutes in order for the capacitors to release the energy.
Do not touch the torch or electrode holder and the earth clamp at the same time.
Be sure to change the cables and torches if they are damaged, to be performed by qualified and authorized personnel.
The dimensions and rating of the accessories must be suitable.
Always wear dry clothes which are in good condition in order to be isolated from the welding circuit. Always wear insulated shoes, regardless of the
environment in which you work in.
TRANSPORTATION OF THE MACHINE
It is preferable to drain the cooling unit before transport.
Do not place/carry the unit over people or objects.

EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

Rules to follow:
• 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 be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• This equipment must be used and stored in a place protected from dust, acid, gas or any other corrosive substance.
• The machine protection level is IP23, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against the rain inclined at 60% towards the vertical.
The equipment can be used outside in accordance with the IP23 protection certification.
The manufacturer GYS does not incur any responsability regarding damages to both objects and persons that result from an
incorrect and/or dangerous use of the machine.

MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS

• Remove regularly the casing and any excess of dust. Take this opportunity to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified person, with
an insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the power supply cable. If the power cable or connection cables are damaged, they must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its after sales service or an equally qualified person to prevent danger.
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
The cooling liquid must be changed every 12 month in order to avoid sediments which could block the torch cooling circuit. Any
leak or residual fluid, after use, must be handled within the appropriate purification factory. If possible, recycle the product. It
is prohibited to empty the product in a river, a sceptic tank or a draining system. The diluted fluid must not be emptied in the
sewers, unless euthorised by the local regulations.

• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. A yearly maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and then wait 2 minutes before carrying out maintenance work. Inside,
voltages and currents are high and dangerous.
