Gas Cylinders; Electrical Safety - GYS E1 AUTO Manual De Instrucciones

User manual
Cylinders should be stored in open or well-ventilated areas. They should be stored in an upright position and kept on a stand or trolley.
Welding should not be carried out near grease or paint.
RISK OF FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS
Fully shield the welding area, flammable materials should be kept at least 11 metres away.
Fire fighting equipment should be kept close to wherever the welding activities are being undertaken.
Beware the expulsion of hot spatter or sparks, even through cracks, which can cause fires or explosions.
Keep people, flammable objects and pressurised containers at a safe distance.
Welding in closed containers or tubes is to be avoided. If the containers or tubes are open, they must be emptied of all flammable or explosive
materials (oil, fuel, gas residues, etc.).
Grinding work must not be directed towards the source of the welding current or towards any flammable materials.

GAS CYLINDERS

Gas escaping from cylinders can cause suffocation if there is too high a concentration of it in the welding area (ensure good
ventilation).
The machine must be transported in complete safety: gas cylinders must be closed and the welding power source turned off. They
should be stored upright and supported to limit the risk of falling.
Close the cylinder between uses. Beware of temperature changes and sun exposure.
The cylinder must not come into contact with flames, arcs, torches, earth clamps or any other sources of heat or ignition.
Be sure to keep it away from electrical and welding circuits. Never weld a pressurised cylinder.
When opening the cylinder valve, keep your head away from the valve and ensure that the gas being used is suitable for the welding process.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The electrical network used must be earthed. Use the recommended fuse size chosen from the information table.
An electric shock can be the source of a serious accident, whether directly or indirectly, or even death.
Never touch live parts connected to the live current, either inside or outside the power source casing unit (torches, clamps, cables, electrodes), as
these items are connected to the welding circuit.
Before opening the welding machine's power source, disconnect it from the mains and wait two minutes to ensure that all the capacitors have fully
discharged.
Do not touch the torch or the electrode holder and the earth clamp at the same time.
If the cables or torches become damaged, they must be replaced by a qualified and authorised person. Measure the length of cable according to
its use. Always use high-quality, dry clothing to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Alongside this, wear well-insulated footwear in all working
environments.
EMC CLASSIFICATION
This Class A equipment is not intended for domestic use where electrical power is supplied from the low-voltage mains system.
Ensuring electromagnetic compatibilty may be difficult at these sites due to conducted, as well as radiated, radio frequency
interference.
This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11.
This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-12 standard.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCES
An electric current passing through any conductor produces localised electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The welding current
produces an electromagnetic field around the welding circuit and the welding equipment.
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can interfere with some medical devices, for example pacemakers. Protective measures should be taken for those with
medical, implanted devices. For example, restricted access for onlookers or an individual risk assessment for welders.
All welders should use the following guidelines to minimise exposure to the welding circuit's electromagnetic fields:
• position the welding cables together - securing them with a clamp if possible;
• 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 or lean on the source of the welding current,
• do not weld while transporting the source of the welding current or wire feeder.
