Do not touch hot elements (danger: serious burns, see warnings in the next section).
Remove rust, grease or paint from the element to be welded, in order to minimise toxic vapours.
Connect the earthing cable to the element to be welded securely. The connection point must be cleaned of dirt, paint and
grease.
Do not wrap the welding and the earthing cables around the body. Do not direct the welding grip towards people.
Make sure the welder has been placed on a flat and stable surface in a vertical position. It is prohibited to place the welder in any
other position during work. The welder has a grip and a belt which permit to transport it. It is prohibited to hold the welder by the
grip or hang it on the belt during welding.
Do not use the welder to defrost pipes.
How to avoid burns and damage to the sight
During the welding process metal melts. Inattention of the operator of the welder may lead to serious burns. Always wear adequate
clothes and protective equipment. The welding arc is very dangerous for the sight since it generates a very intense infrared and
ultraviolet radiations.
Staring at the electric arc generated during welding dames the sight seriously. Therefore it is required to remove any bystanders
from the area of operation of the welder. It is required to use adequate personal protection means, such as:
- welding gloves, masks covering the whole face equipped with a visor with an adequate filter (LCD, glass welding filter of a protec-
tion grade adequate for the job), anti-slippery shoes, protective clothes, protective apron.
It is particularly recommended
Not to hold the elements being welded, not to touch the weld area, not to weld with contact lenses (the heat generated during
welding may melt the materials the lenses are made of causing damage to the eye.
Limitations and reservations regarding operation of the welder
The device must not be used by:
- persons with a pacemaker, electric prosthesis such as artificial limbs, hearing aids, etc.
- persons with contact lenses on (replace the contact lenses with glasses, before work).
- bystanders with the aforementioned devices must remain at a safe distance from the area of operation of the welder.
OPERATION OF THE DEVICE
Preparation for work
Before work make sure the welder is not damaged. It is required to check the power supply and the welding cables for any dam-
age. It is prohibited to work with a damaged welder and/or damaged cables.
Revise the connections of the welding cables and make sure the mass clamp is clean and in good conditions.
Attention! Damaged cables must be replaced. It is prohibited to repair the cables. In order to replace the power supply cord, it is
required to have it done at a service point of the manufacturer.
Power supply
The welder may be powered from the mains of the nominal voltage and frequency indicated in the technical data table and the
rating plate of the device.
It is also possible to power the tool from alternators, but it is required to make sure the current efficiency of the alternator is equal or
higher than the maximum value of the power supply current indicated in the rating plate of the welder. Otherwise, it is not possible
to reach the nominal efficiency of the welder or operate it at all. Attention! In case the alternator is used to power the welder, it is
required to make sure it is grounded by means of a correctly assembled installation.
The connection socket must be equipped with a contact and a protective conductor and the power supply mains must be equipped
with automatic protective device whose minimum tripping current is 25 A. Excessively frequent activation of the protective device
may mean the power supply mains must be equipped with a protective device of a higher tripping current.
It is required to avoid connection with long cables. In case of using extensions, their efficiency must be at least as high as the
efficiency of the power supply cable of the welder.
To create an adequate power supply system must be a task for a trained electrician. The power supply system should comply with
the requirements of EN 60204-1 or the standards binding within the given country.
Attention! Before connecting the plug to the socket, it is required to make sure the switch of the welder if in the OFF position and
the connection contactors of the welding cables are not in contact.
Connection of the welding cables
The plug of the cable must be inserted into the socket, and then turned right. Make sure the plug does not drop from the socket.
Welding cables may be connected in one of two possible ways.
The cable with the spring clamp may be connected to the contactor „-", and the cable with the electrode grip may be connected
