If you are required to work in a position raised above ground
level, always use a safety platform.
If more than one machine has to be used on the same piece,
or in any case on pieces connected electrically, the sum of the
no-load voltages on the electrode holders or on the torches
may exceed the safety levels. Make sure that an authorised
expert evaluates the conditions beforehand to see if such risk
exists and adopt the protective measures described in 5.9 of
the IEC or CLC/TS 62081 technical specification if required.
Additional warnings
Do not use the machine for purposes other than those
described, for example to thaw frozen water pipes.
Place the machine on a flat stable surface, and make sure
that it cannot move. It must be positioned in such a way as
to allow it to be controlled during use but without the risk of
being covered with sparks.
Do not lift the machine. No lifting devices are fitted on the
machine.
Do not use cables with damaged insulation or loose
connections.
Starting up
Connections to the mains must be made by expert or qualified
personnel.
Make sure that the machine is switched off and disconnected
from mains before carrying out this procedure.
Make sure that the power socket that the machine is plugged
into is protected by safety devices (fuses or automatic switch)
and grounded.
The device must be connected only to a supply system, with
an earthed 'neutral' lead.
Recommendations for use
Only use an extension lead when absolutely necessary and
providing it has an equal or larger section to the power cable
and is fitted with a grounding conductor.
Do not block the machine air intakes. Do not store the machine
in containers or on shelving that does not guarantee suitable
ventilation.
Do not use the machine in any environment in the presence
of gas, vapours, conductive powders (e.g. iron shavings),
brackish air, caustic fumes or other agents that could damage
the metal parts and electrical insulation.
The electric parts of the machine have been treated with
L
protective resins. When used for the first time, smoke may
be noticed; this is caused by the resin drying out completely.
The smoke should only last for a few minutes.
Description of the welding machine
The welding machine is a current generator for continuous wire
welding, commonly known as MIG / MAG, suited to welding
carbon or light alloy steels, stainless steel and aluminium
using protective gas.
The electrical characteristic of the transformer is flat (constant
voltage).
The welding machine is a current transformer for manual arc
welding using MMA coated electrodes and TIG with a torch
that strikes the arc on contact.
The delivered current is direct.
The electrical characteristic of the transformer is of the falling
type.
The welding machine is built using electronic INVERTER
technology.
