1.8MVA at the interface between the machine and the mains power network. It is the responsibility of the installer or
user of the equipment to ensure if necessary by consulting the operator of the mains electricity, that the equipment is
only connected to a power supply where the power of short-circuit Ssc is equal to or greater than 1.8MVA.
Machine : 57.5 kg
Machine with packaging and accessories: 62.5 kg E11
• There is no lifting hook; handling by forklift or on its own wheels.
ADVICE AND THERMAL PROTECTION
• Respect the normal rules of welding
• Leave the machine plugged in after welding to allow it to cool
• Thermal Protection : The LED will illuminate. Cooling will take between 10 and 15 minutes depending on the ambient
temperature.
MAINTENANCE
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person.
• Switch the machine off, ensure it is unplugged, and that the ventilator inside has stopped before carrying out mainte-
nance work. (DANGER High Voltage and Currents).
• GYS France recommends removing the steel cover 2 or 3 times a year to remove any excess dust. Take this opportunity
to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified person with an insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the power supply cord. If damaged, it will need to be replaced by the manufacturer,
its' after sales service or a qualified person.
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
OUR ADVICE
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
• Change the contact tip and the nozzle of the torch on a regular basis.
• Ensure the torch and sheath are free from aluminium and steel dust.
• Avoid MIG/MAG welding in draftee areas.

CARMIG
Protect yourself with a helmet fitted with filters in compliance with EN169 or EN 379.
Use your welding unit in a clean/dry environment (pollution factor ≤ 3), on a flat sur-
face, and more than one meter from the welding work-piece. Do not use in rain or snow.
This device must only be used with an earthed power supply. Do not touch the parts
under tension. Check that the power supply is suitable for this unit.
Do not move the unit over people or objects.
Wear protective (fire-proof) clothing (cotton, overalls or jeans).Wear protective gloves
and a fire-proof apron.
Ensure other people keep a safe distance from the work area and do not look directly at
the welding arc.
Protect others by installing fire-proof protection walls.
Remove all flammable products from the work area. Do not work in presence of flam-
mable gases.
Do not inhale welding gases and fumes. Use the device in a well-ventilated environment,
with artificial extraction if welding indoors.
Any welding operation undertaken in
- rooms where there is an increased risk of electric shocks,
- Poorly ventilated rooms,
- In the presence of flammable or explosive material,
...should always be approved by a «responsible expert», and made in presence of people
trained to intervene in case of emergency.
Technical protection as described in the Technical Specification CEI/IEC 62081 must be
implemented. Welding in raised positions is forbidden, except in case of safety platforms
use.
