INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR CAPACITOR DISCARGE WELDING MACHINE
IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT,
READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL, WHICH
MUST BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL US-
ERS FOR THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE
MACHINE.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR WELD-
ING OPERATIONS.
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE HARM-
FUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. The user must
therefore be educated against the hazards, summarized be-
low, deriving from welding operations. For more detailed in-
formation, order the manual code 3.300.758
NOISE
These power source alone do not produce noise
levels exceeding 80 dB. The welding procedure,
however, may produce noise levels in excess of
80 dB. in which case the machine operator must take the
necessary safety precautions as prescribed by the na-
tional safety regulation.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS INFORMATION
· Electric current following through any con-
ductor causes localized Electric and Mag-
netic Fields (EMF). Welding/cutting current
creates EMF fields around cables and pow-
er sources.
· The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect
the operation of pacemakers. Pacemaker wearers are
prohibited from using the machine or approach the
cables.
· Exposure to EMF fields in welding/cutting may have
other health effects which are now not known.
· All operators should use the followingprocedures in or-
der to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding/
cutting circuit:
- Route the electrode and work cables together
- Secure them with tape when possible.
- Never coil the electrode/torch lead around your body.
- Do not place your body between the electrode/torch
lead and work cables. If the electrode/torch lead
cable is on your right side, the work cable should also
be on your right side.
- Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded/cut.
- Do not work next to welding/cutting power source.
EXPLOSIONS
· Do not weld in the vicinity of containers under
pressure, or in the presence of explosive dust,
gases or fumes.
· All cylinders and pressure regulators used in welding
operations should be handled with care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
This machine is manufactured in compliance with the in-
structions contained in the standard IEC 60974-10 (CL.
A), and must be used solely for professional purposes
in an industrial environment. There may be potential dif-
ficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in non-
industrial environments.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT.
Do not dispose of electrical equipment together
with normal waste! Electrical equipment that has
reached the end of its life must be collected separately
and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling
facility. As the owner of the equipment, you should get
information on approved collection systems from our lo-
cal representative.
Extra precautions are to be observed when working
on elevated positions.
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST ASSISTANCE
FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
1.1 WARNING LABEL
The following numbered text corresponds to the label
numbered boxes.
B. Drive rolls can injure fingers.
C. Welding wire and drive parts are at welding voltage
during operation - keep hands and metal objects
away.
1
Electric shock from welding electrode or wiring can kill.
1.1 Wear dry insulating gloves. Do not touch electrode
with bare hand. Do not wear wet or damaged gloves.
