Before Start-Up; Connect To Mains; Initial Use - Würth WIG 180 DC Traducción Del Manual De Instrucciones De Servicio Original

Before start-up

Transport
▸
Always remove the mains plug before trans-
porting.
▸
Carry the machine using the detachable
handle [1] maintaining it horizontal.
Installation
▸
Install the device in a safe place on a horizontal,
dry surface. Ensure that the ventilation slots of the
cooling ribs are always free.
Quick-start guide
▸
Set up the shielding gas cylinder [37] near the
machine and secure it to prevent it from falling
over.
▸
Remove the screw cap from the shielding gas cyl-
inder and open the gas cylinder valve [38] briefly
to blow out any dirt.
▸
Connect the pressure reducer [34] to the shielding
gas cylinder.
▸
Connect the shielding gas hose [36] of the
machine to the pressure reducer and open the
shielding gas cylinder valve.
▸
Connect the workpiece lead to the socket [4] .
▸
Connect the TIG welding torch lead to the
socket [3].
▸
Insert the control plug of the TIG torch into the
socket [23].
▸
Insert the mains plug into the plug socket.
▸
Turn on the system at the main switch [5].
▸
Switch on the welding method 2-cycle TIG with
button [18/1].
▸
Set the desired welding current at rotary con-
troller [11].
▸
The system is ready for welding.
Connecting the workpiece lead
(Fig. III)
▸
When selecting the workplace, ensure that the
workpiece lead and ground clamp can be cor-
rectly connected.
▸
The ground clamp must have good electrically
conductive contact with a bare metal part of the
welding bench or workpiece. It must be located
in the immediate vicinity of the welding point so
that the welding current cannot find its own way
back via machine parts, ball bearings or electrical
circuits.
22

Do not connect the ground clamp to the welding
machine or gas cylinder as otherwise the weld-
ing current will run through the PE conductor
connections and destroy them.

Never leave the workpiece connection loose.
Fasten the ground clamp securely to the welding
bench or workpiece.

Connect to mains

CAUTION!
Injuries or material damage.
Observe the mains voltage!
¾
The mains voltage must conform with
¾
the voltage specified on the name
plate of your device.
The fuse must conform with the
¾
technical specifications.
▸
Plug the plug into a suitable socket.

Initial Use

Attention!
An unintentionally drawn arc can damage the
electrode holder, welding bench, workpiece or
device.
Before switching on, ensure that the electrode
¾
or electrode holder is not in contact with the
welding bench, workpiece or other electrically
conductive object so that an arc is not struck
unintentionally when switching on.
Operating elements, displays and
functions (Fig. I and II)
Fault LED [8]
Steady light if the system overheats, flashes in the
event of a fault; striking an arc is not possible.
When the machine is switched on, the LED flashes
briefly as a self-test.
