Maintenance / Recommendations - GYS SMARTFEED M-4 Manual De Instrucciones

• position yourself (head and body) as far away from the welding circuit as possible;
• never wrap the welding cables around your body;
• do not position yourself between the welding cables. and keep both welding cables on your same side;
• connect the return cable to the workpiece, as close as possible to the area to be welded,
• do not work next to, sit on, or lean against the source of the welding current;
• do not weld while the current source or wire feeder is being carried.
Pacemaker users should consult a doctor before using this equipment.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields during welding may have other health effects that are not yet known.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE WIRE FEEDER
Stray welding currents can destroy earthing conductors, damage electrical equipment and devices and cause component parts
to overheat leading to fires.
- All welding connections must be firmly secured and regularly checked!
- Make sure that the item's attachment is firm and secure, without any electrical problems!
- Join together or suspend any electrically conductive parts of the welding source such as the frame, trolley and lifting systems so that they are
insulated!
- Do not place other equipment such as drills or grinding devices etc. on the welding source, trolley, or lifting systems unless they are insulated!
- Always place welding torches or electrode holders on an insulated surface when not in use!
SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENT
• Put the wire feeder on a floor with a maximum incline of 10°.
- The dispenser must be protected from driving rain and not exposed to sunlight.
• The machine benefits from an IP21 protection index, which means:
- its dangerous parts are protected from being entered by objects greater than 12.5 mm and,
- Protection against vertically falling drops
This machine is designed for indoor use.
The power cables, extensions and welding cables must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
GYS does not incur any responsibility regarding damages to both objects and persons that result from an incorrect and/or
dangerous use of the machine.

MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS

• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the wire feeder is disconnected from the welding machine, and wait for two minutes before carrying out maintenance
work.
• Regularly remove the cover and blow out any dust. Take this opportunity to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified person, using an
insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the connection cable between the wire feeder and the machine. If found damaged, the interconnection cable must
be replaced.
• Warning ! If the welding machine is transported/handled by another solution than the one recommended by the manufacturer; the wire feeder
casing must be insulated from the transporting/handling solution.
Rules to follow :• The wire feeder must be switched on with all access panels closed.
