f. Protection and plating : The selective protection and plating of other cables and devices in the area can reduce perturbation issues. The
protection of the entire welding area can be considered for specific situations.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE WELDING MACHINE
The machine is fitted with handle(s) to facilitate transportation. Be careful not to underestimate the machine's weight. The handle(s) cannot be used
for slinging.
Do not use the cables or torch to move the machine. The welding equipment must be moved in an upright position.
Do not place/carry the unit over people or objects.
Never lift the machine while there is a gas cylinder on the support shelf. A clear path is available when moving the item.
The removal of the wire reel from the machine is recommended before undertaking any lifting operation.
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°.)
• Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.
• The machine must not be used in an area with conductive metal dusts.
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• The machine protection level is IP23, which means :
- a protection against access to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a Ø≥12.5mm and,
- a protection against the rain inclined at 60% towards the vertical.
The equipment can be used outside in accordance with the IP23 protection certification.
• The power cables, extensions and welding cables must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
The manufacturer does not incur any responsability regarding damages to both objects and persons that result from an incorrect
and/or dangerous use of the machine.
Stray welding currents/voltages may destroy earth conductors, damage electrical equipment or cause components to warm up which
may cause a fire.
• All welding connections must be firmly secured, check regularly !
• Check that the metal piece fixation is strong and without any electrical problems !
• Attach or hang all the electrically conductive elements, such as the trolley and slinging equipment, in order to insulate them
• Do not place any electrical equipment, such as drills or grinders, on top of the welding machine without insulating them !
• Always place welding torches or electrodes holders on an insulated surface when they're not in use !
MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and wait for two minutes before carrying out maintenance work. DANGER
High Voltage and Currents inside the machine.
• Remove the casing 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 cable. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales
service or an equally qualified person.
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
• Do not use this equipment to thaw pipes, to charge batteries, or to start any engine.
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment. During set up,
the operator must ensure that the machine is unplugged. Connecting generators in a series or a parallel circuit is forbidden.
