Device Storage; Connecting The Device - STAMOS S-WIGMA 180B Manual De Instrucciones

3.6. GASES AND FUMES
PLEASE NOTE! GAS MAY BE LETHAL OR DANGEROUS
TO HUMAN HEALTH!
• Always keep a certain distance from the gas outlet
• When welding, ensure good ventilation. Avoid
inhaling the gas.
• Chemical substances (lubricants, solvents) must be
removed from the surfaces of welded objects as they
burn and emit toxic smokes under the influence of
temperature.
• The welding of galvanised objects is permitted only
when efficient ventilation is provided with filtration
and access to fresh air. Zinc fumes are very toxic, an
intoxication symptom is the so-called zinc fever.
4. OPERATION
4.1. GENERAL NOTES
• The device must be applied according to its purpose,
with observance of OHS regulations and restrictions
resulting from data included in the rating plate (IP
level, operation cycle, supply voltage, etc.).
• The machine must not be opened as it will cause
warranty loss and, in addition, exploding. Unshielded
elements can cause serious injuries.
• The producer does not bear any responsibility for
technical changes in the device or material losses
caused by the introduction of the said changes.
• In case of incorrect device operation, contact the
service centre.
• Louvers must not be shielded – the welder must
be positioned at 30 cm distance from the objects
surrounding it.
• The welder must not be kept under your arm or near
your body.
• The machine must not be installed in rooms with
aggressive environments, high dustiness and near
devices with high electromagnetic field emission.

4.2. DEVICE STORAGE

• The machine must be protected against water and
moisture.
• The welder must not be positioned on heated
surfaces.
• The device must be stored in a dry and clean room.

4.3 CONNECTING THE DEVICE

4.3.1 CONNECTING THE POWER
• The connection of the device must be performer by
a qualified person. In addition, a person with required
qualifications should check if the earthing or electrical
installation with protection system is in line with the
safety regulations and if they operate correctly.
• The device must be placed near the work station.
• Connecting excessively long conduits to the machine
must be avoided.
• One-phase welders should be connected to the
socket fitted with an earthing prong.
• Welders powered from a 3-Phase network are
delivered without a plug, the plug must be obtained
independently and installation should be assigned to
a qualified person.
PLEASE NOTE! THE DEVICE MAY ONLY BE USED UPON
CONNECTION TO AN INSTALLMENT WITH A PROPERLY
FUNCTIONING FUSE.
4.3.2 CONNECTING GAS
• Gas tanks must be placed far from the welded object
and be protected against falling.
EN
• Gas connector of the welder must be connected with
the tank or gas installation by means of the correct
pipe and regulator with gas flow regulation. Please
note! Connection of line regulators to the tank and
the other way round is prohibited. Such a change can
result in regulator damage and serious injuries.
• Economical gas use extends the welding time.

13. Earthing = at the rear side of each and every welder
there is a bolt with earthing marking. Before starting,
the device has to be earthed with the conduit which
cross section can not be smaller than 6 mm.
5.1. PREPARING THE DEVICE FOR USE / DEVICE USE
Each unit is equipped with a main power cable, which
is responsible for providing current and voltage to the
device. If the device is connected to power which exceeds
the required voltage, or if the wrong phase is set, it may
lead to severe damage to the unit. This is not covered
by the warranty for the equipment and the user will be
responsible for such situations.
5.2. DEVICE USE
METHOD TIG
• Turn the main switch on the front panel to „On", the
fan will start rotating.
• Open the argon cylinder valve, adjust the gas flow
volume making sure it is appropriately set for welding.
• Press the torch button, which will activate the solenoid
valve. You will hear the sound of the HF arc and at the
same time, argon will flow from the nozzle.
10
PLEASE NOTE: During the first welding the user must
keep pressing the torch switch for a few seconds
until all air escapes.
• Set the welding current and make sure it is
appropriate for the selected type of welding.
• Bring the tungsten electrode 2 to 4 mm from the
workpiece. Press the torch button, you will hear the
arc ignite. The machine is ready for use.
• PLEASE NOTE: After welding is finished, argon will
still flow for a few seconds in order to protect the
weld area from cooling. The torch must be kept
close to the welding spot for some time after the arc
extinguishes.

• Turn the main switch on the front panel to „On", the
fan will start rotating.
• Make sure the TIG/ MMA switch is switched "down"
to MMA. Pulse change switch and gas flow knob will
not work.
• Set the welding current and make sure it is
appropriate for the selected type of welding.

WARNING: during welding, it is forbidden to pull the plug
or the cable that is being used. It may result in damage to
the unit and/or risk of death.
Advice for use:
• The temperature of environment must not be higher
than 40°C and the relative humidity should be less
than 90%.
• Avoid welding in direct sunlight and/or rain.
• Do not use the machine in environments containing
dust or corrosive gas.
• Avoid TIG welding in a strong wind.
• When the voltage, output current and machine
temperature exceed the nominal values, the unit will
automatically switch off. Current overload can cause
damage and destroy the machine.
• After exceeding the operating cycle, the unit will
stop working. When the main switch is in the "ON"
position and the machine overloads, the overload
indicator lights up (red LED). Do not pull the plug
from the power supply so that the fan can cool the
machine down. When the temperature drops, the
overload indicator turns off and you can continue
welding.
6. DISPOSING OF PACKAGING
The various items used for packaging (cardboard, plastic
straps, polyurethane foam) should be kept, so that the
device can be sent back to the service centre in the best
possible condition in case of any problems!
