SHIELDING
The selective shielding of other cables and equipment present
in the surrounding area may reduce the problems due to inter-
ference. The shielding of the entire welding (cutting) installation
can be taken in consideration for special applications.
1.5 IP Protection rating
Casing protection rating in compliance with EN 60529:
IP21S
- Casing protected against access to dangerous parts with fin-
gers and against solid foreign bodies with diameter greater
than/equal to 12.5 mm
- Casing protected against vertical drops of water.
Do not use outdoors in the event of rain.
- Casing protected against harmful effects of water seeping in
when the moving parts of the equipment are not operating.
1.6 Risk analysis
Risks posed by the machine
Risk of wrong installation.
Electrical and mechanical
risks.
Risks connected with electro-
magnetic disturbances pro-
duced by the welding power
source and induced on the
welding power source.
2 INSTALLATION
2.1 Lifting, transport and unloading procedures
Do not underestimate the weight of the equip-
ment: see technical specifications.
Do not drop or exert undue pressure on the sy-
stem or individual unit.
The system is provided with a handle for movement by hand.
The manufacturer accepts no liability if the above prescrip-
tion is not duly observed and complied with at all times.

Solutions adopted
to pervent them
A manual with the instruc-
tions for use has been pro-
duced for this purpose.
Application of the
EN 60974-1 Standard.
Application of the
EN 60974-10 Standard.
2.2 Positioning the power source
Keep to the following rules:
- Do not position the equipment in reduced spaces.
- Position the power source in a dry, clean and suitably venti-
lated place.
- Protect the system against driving rain and the sun.
Position the generator on the left in order to pre-
vent it being hit or falling accidentally and to
ensure correct ventilation.
2.3 Connection
2.3.1 Power supply
The power source is provided with a power supply cable for
connection to the single-phase supply.
2.3.2 Earthing
In order to protect users, the system must be correctly earthed.
The power supply voltage is provided with an earth lead (yellow
- green), which must be connected to a plug provided with
earth contact.
2.3.3 Possible electrical failures
Machine fails to come on:
- No current in the power socket.
- Faulty supply plug or cable.
- Faulty start switch.
Absence of output current:
- Faulty torch button.
- Equipment overheated. With welder on, wait for it to cool.
- Incorrect earth connection.
- Faulty electronics.
Power output incorrect:
- Faulty current control potentiometer.
For any doubts and/or problems do not hesitate to contact
your nearest customer service centre.
2.4 Commissioning
The earth cable must be connected as near the
area to be welded as possible.
Before welding , check the condition of the electric
cables and of the torch, and if they are damaged
repair or change them.
